The NoLimit Web Hosting Service

What is the NoLimit Service?

For your website, we offer unlimited space on the most modern HPE 3 PAR StoreServ Storage 8450 all flash storage with robust IPS/IDS and DDoS protection, custom-developed by our developers and technicians directly for our services. 3.7 GHz processors will take care of the fast operation of editorial systems and e-shops in particular.

The service is run on branded HPE ProLiant m710x Server Blade servers, which are located in HPE Moonshot 1500 server cabinets. This solution was created by Hewlett Packart Enterprise specifically for giant cloud solutions. The servers are located exclusively in our private data centers. No stranger has access to them, and there is increased physical security. We meet both ISO 27001 certification (information security) and all GDPR conditions.

Our Customer Administration allows you to conveniently change your service settings. Everything is fully automated – from the service order, billing, service startup, change of parameters, adding domains to the web hosting service, to the service termination. 

Since you do not need the assistance of our administrators when changing settings (you can change everything yourself), any change is always available and virtually immediate.

If you encounter any problem, we offer free 24-hour customer support, 7 days a week via online chat, our contact form, or through e-mail. Our knowledge base is also available and hundreds of tutorials can be found there.

PHP Parameters

The NoLimit web hosting service includes PHP technology with many installed modules.

You can choose from all PHP versions  – 5.3 to 8.2. How the script will be interpreted (under which version it will run), is decided by its suffix:

• .php – prechosen PHP version – is available for selection as you order your web hosting service and can be changed in the control panel.
• .php53 – always PHP 5.3
• .php54 – always PHP 5.4
• .php55 – always PHP 5.5
• .php56 – always PHP 5.6
• .php70 – always PHP 7.0
• .php71 – always PHP 7.1
• .php72 – always PHP 7.2
• .php73 – always PHP 7.3
• .php74 – always PHP 7.4
• .php80 – always PHP 8.0
• .php81 – always PHP 8.1
• .php82 – always PHP 8.2

PHP Versions We Currently Offer:

• PHP 7.0 (phpinfo)
• PHP 7.1 (phpinfo)
• PHP 7.2 (phpinfo)
• PHP 7.3 (phpinfo)
• PHP 7.4 (phpinfo)
• PHP 8.0 (phpinfo)
• PHP 8.1 (phpinfo)
• PHP 8.2 (phpinfo)

The PHP version can be selected in the web hosting order or changed in the control panel.

ATTENTION! – PHP versions 5.x. and 7.x. are deprecated and are no longer updated (not even the security). We do not recommend their usage, and rather encourage you to choose one of the newer versions.

All versions are available on all servers with all web hosting services. There is no need to ask for activation or relocation to a different server. You only need to switch the version in the control panel.

We use XCache as an opcode cache tool on PHP 5.3 and 5.4 servers. We use Zend Opcache (the default opcode cache supplied with PHP) with versions 5.5 – 8.x.

The web hosting service runs on the Linux operating system Apache 2.4 web server with mod_deflate, htaccess, and mod_rewrite support. PHP runs on Apache like a FastCGI module.

PHP.ini Parameters You Can Change Yourself:

In the control panel, you can set up the following PHP parameters:

• allow_url_fopen
• allow_url_include
• display_errors
• html_errors
• ignore_repeated_errors
• ignore_user_abort
• implicit_flush
• magic_quotes_gpc
• output_buffering
• session.auto_start
• session.cookie_httponly

You can also use PEAR extensions. There is nothing to stop you from uploading them to your web hosting service. They are basically ‘normal’ PHP files. You can upload them to your web hosting service via FTP, or you can automatically include and use them.

Apache and .htaccess Parameters

Apache

We have chosen the Apache webserver for the NoLimit service. Everything is fine-tuned for maximum performance and security. NoLimit is regularly tested for compatibility with the most widely used editorial systems. We are also in touch with developers. We have two CMS specialists who can help you.

.htaccess

The configuration file .htaccess, in which you can edit the behavior of your web server, is available.

In particular:

• mod_rewrite – create a so-called nice URL
• the mod_expires module – adjusting of HTTP headers for caching static content in browsers
• creating custom error pages – what a browser should show if, for example, the requested page does not exist (status code 404)
• limit access do to directories or entire web hosting services, for example, according to IP addresses
• fast redirection
• password-protected access to a directory or file
• creating subdomains

Cache (Speeding up Loading By Saving to Server Memory)

The mod_expires module is also active on the webserver. By default, HTTP headers are set to cache static content for 1 week. This refers to images, CSS, JavaScript, and other static content.

You can turn off this cache or change its setting in .htacces. Detailed instructions and examples can be found in our knowledge base.

Further Settings and Information

The .htaccess setup is often not easy, so we have a special section for .htaccess in the knowledge base.

MySQL Parameters

An unlimited amount of MySQL / MariaDB databases is available with the web hosting service. The full storage for a database is limited to 1GB (resp. 2GB).

MariaDB Database Parameters With the Web Hosting Service

• the amount of databases is not limited – it is possible to have as many databases as required by you
• full database storage: 2 GB  (5 GB for NoLimit Extra)*
• MySQL versions: 5.6.12, 5.5.30 and 5.1.55
• MariaDB version: 10.3.27
• storage engines: MyISAM, InnoDB, XtraDB, Archive, Heap (Memory)
• default character set: UTF-8
• all available character sets are supported
• management via the phpMyAdmin interface
• it is possible to connect via mysql, mysqli or PDO object interface from PHP
• on-line establishment via the control panel (details of a particular web hosting service)
• the database is accessible only from the web hosting service, for security reasons it can not be accessed from the outside (neither individually, temporarily or at extra costs, it is not even possible from our virtual or dedicated servers)

More information and tutorials for MySQL are available in our knowledge base.

* 2 GB (potentially 5 GB with the NoLimit Extra variety) is the largest possible space, that can be used on a database for web hosting. This space cannot be enlarged above 1 GB (2 GB) in any way, not even with extra payments. In the case of higher requirements, we recommend using WMS.

E-mail Services

NoLimit web hosting service also includes an unlimited number of e-mail boxes for your domain.

Postal services are run through our own e-mail solution built on open-source technologies (Postfix, Dovecot). The entire postal system is conceived as a high-availability solution with minimal potential for any power cuts. Individual services (receiving, downloading, sending mail) are functionally independent and fully redundant – even if a server fails, there will be no power cut and all services will remain functional.

The number of e-mailboxes is unlimited, but the total occupied space (for the entire domain) is limited to 5 GB. Any other enlargement (5 GB packages) is available as an optional service.

Services Offered by the Mailserver (All Included in the Price)

• sending emails via the SMTP protocol (authentication required)
• receive messages from POP3 and IMAP protocols
• encrypted variants of SMTPS, POP3S, IMAPS
• WebMail – an advanced web interface for working with the mailbox and its configuration
• antispam and antivirus, advanced techniques against attacks
• automatic replies
• filtering by rules
• the Domain Basket option (messages to any address delivered to a particular mailbox)

The Set-Up and Limit of E-mail Services

• space for emails: 5 GB (upgradable up to 160 GB)
• the maximum number of emails sent per day: 500 (more info)
• maximum size of sent emails including attachments: 100 MB
• the SMTP server can not be used for mass mailing (eg. newsletters)
• email services do not include: groupware, calendar, data sharing, synchronization, Instant Messaging, VoIP
