Web hosting
Free hosting, by JKHub
An issue many clans, modding projects, and other players encounter at one point is the matter of web hosting: which company should you host your website with? Many free hosts perform poorly or force you to place advertisements on your site. Paid hosts are costly. This is why JKHub offers free, professional quality hosting.
Features
Our free hosting provides you with everything you need to run a website. Features include:
- All the software needed to run a forum or website: up-to-date Nginx, Apache, MySQL, PHP.
- Excellent security: we use up to date software, custom web server level DDoS filtering to counter DoS and DDoS attacks, and more. We also check visitors' IP against a blacklist to make sure they're not known hackers or spambots.
- Speed: we do everything we can to make websites we host as fast as possible. Our server is not overloaded with thousands of different websites, and very well optimized.
- A control panel that lets you change settings, manage MySQL databases, and more. We use Vesta as our control panel.
- As many resources as you reasonably need. We've had single websites using 80 GB of bandwidth in a single month without any issues. If you need more bandwidth or disk space, just yell. No, really.
- No ads.
Never run a website before? No idea what this page is talking about?
One of the features we offer is fully managed hosting: if you don't know how to set up your own website, or don't have the time, we can do that for you. We'll install whatever software you need, and make sure it stays secure. You'll still have full access to your website, but you only need to worry about day-to-day operations. We'll install everything you need.
