Government hosting FAQ
Does KingHost certify a website as compliant?
No. Compliance depends on the organisation, application, data, procedures and applicable rules, not hosting alone.
Can a ministry own the domain directly?
Yes. The authorised public body should control the registrar account and recovery details.
Can you host public information portals?
A suitable plan can be recommended after reviewing traffic, application and availability requirements.
Can you host sensitive government data?
Data sensitivity and legal requirements must be assessed before any service is selected.
Are backups included?
Backup scope depends on the selected product. The organisation should also maintain an independent tested copy.
Can an existing website be migrated?
Migration can be scoped after reviewing authorised access, size, dependencies, DNS and rollback needs.
How are incidents communicated?
Public incidents use the service-status page; account-specific matters are handled through authenticated support.
Can multiple staff have access?
Use named users, least privilege and documented offboarding wherever the selected system supports them.
Is accessibility included automatically?
No. Accessibility is primarily a website design, content and testing responsibility.
How do we request a proposal?
Send the organisation, workload, locations, required controls, timeline and authorised contact through the contact page.
