Features
There is no need for you to spend time deliberating about which features you need, or whether it is worth paying more to get a particular feature on the off-chance that you may need it sometime in the future. We give you access to all of our features, giving you complete control over your account as standard.
That said, if you are new to all this you should not let the idea of complicated configurations put you off; our Control Panel is designed to be intuitive and easy-to-use for both new and seasoned users.
