Hosting
Hosting
- If a client wishes to host the website on alternate hosting servers, it is the client's responsibility to ensure the host is set up correctly, runs the required software (PHP and MySQL) - we can provide a list of hosting requirements for the website to work. We recommend Linux hosts as these work best with Joomla! Any problems are the responsibility of the client. Neltek cannot be held responsible for website issues due to a client using their own host. Any time spent investigating a problem that is the fault of a 3rd party host will be chargeable to the client at £45/hour.
- If you pay for us to publish your site to your existing hosting webspace we will require such information necessary to obtain access to the webspace e.g. passwords, usernames etc. The hosting site must use Linux and have PHP and MySql for the website to work. We will need database access. (Full requirements can be provided on request).
Recommended Hosting
- Neltek recommends Guru Hosting - a UK based Joomla! hosting company. www.guru.co.uk
- Packages start at £4.99 / month for hosting with no tie in.
Updates
Content Updates
- Updates are based on updating the content of an existing page. If a page needs to be completely replaced the cost is the same as that for an additional page
Joomla Updates
- If the client has taken our monthly support package, paying a monthly fee, Neltek provides security patches and updates to Joomla!
- The Joomla! updates include updates of the core Joomla! system within a Long Term Release (LTR). That is, if a client has bought a website at Joomla! 3.5.x ('x' being a sub version), Neltek will update Joomla! versions up to, but not including, 4.5.x.
- Security patches include updates to any extensions used on the webite that Neltek has installed.
- If any extension requires a fee to licence its use, the client must pay the licence fee as appropriate, to allow Neltek to keep the extension up to date and secure.
- If a client does not pay a monthly support fee to Neltek they are wholly responsible for updating their website including any extensions used.
Images and Graphics

2.12. Web Traffic
Customers on any shared hosting plan will ensure that neither you nor any of your End Users makes excessive or wasteful use of the Server to SiteGround's detriment or that of SiteGround's other customers. The terms "excessive" and "wasteful" are defined by our experience with similarly situated customers. This means that your use of bandwidth may not exceed that of similarly situated customers. Unlimited bandwidth use applies to your use of web pages only (html, php, etc.), not for storage of movies, pictures or MP3 files. If the contents of your Space regularly generate more server traffic than is deemed acceptable by SiteGround, SiteGround shall send you an email warning to the email address you provided in My Details section of your User area. Our warning will also contain the terms and conditions for the appropriate solution. If you do not take corrective action or comply with an excessive traffic usage warning we have sent by email within the specified time frame, SiteGround reserves the right to terminate this Agreement without liability to you.
