Q:
Where is the physical location of your web server?
A:
Our web server is located in Australia, within the impressive Global Switch Sydney data centre.
Q:
I fell in to a trap with my previous hosting company, do you require written cancellation notice as well?
A:
MOST hosting companies have this written in their Terms & Conditions:
"Customer gives 30 days notice or this Agreement shall automatically be extended for another period". This means that if you forgot to cancel in time (and of course they won't send you a reminder), you will be forced to pay for another term. Here at GM Host we don't need a cancellation notice, you only stay if you are happy: "this Agreement will be terminated, unless renewed willingly by both parties".
Q:
Does an SSL give total security?
A:
An SSL provides a relatively safe data transition between computers. However, our advice is to be vigilant, as information can be compromised at either ends. Most data is at risk before and after transmission.
Q:
Can I have a page counter on my home page?
A:
Those counters were OK 10 years ago. These days, statistics are the way to gain valuable inside information.

You will have data about hits, unique visitors, number of pages viewed, how long visitors stayed for and which page they viewed last.
