Secure Web Hosting
Unless your site is reliably hosted, it doesn't matter how well-designed it is! This is why we take our website hosting extremely seriously. All our client sites are on state-of-the-art servers housed in highly secure datacentres.
Our hosting packages provide a fully managed service and a suite of features designed to give you as much as you need from your website hosting.
All of our hosting packages include the following:
- FREE domain registrations
- FREE domain renewals - no need to worry about your domain expiring
- FREE setup of your website hosting
- As many email addresses as you need
- Unlimited email aliases / forwarders
- Full FTP access to your site, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
- Detailed web site traffic / visitor statistics
We can deliver any level of hosting from the most basic right up to your own dedicated web server.
How Much Disk Space is required?
A small or medium web site will need between 10 and 100MB of disk space.
A standard web page can take up between 5 and 50KB of disk space on the web server. The amount of space used will depend on the number of images/graphics or dynamic content (movies, special effects etc.).
If you use a lot of images or graphic elements (or sound files or movies), you might need much more disk space.
Monthly Traffic
A small or medium web site will usually consume between 1GB and 5GB of bandwidth per month.
Larger, commercial sites often consume more than 100GB in a month.
E-mail Accounts
As part of our hosting solution we can set up professional e-mail accounts. You can have as many of these as you require.
The email address will use your domain name as the extension e.g. john@domain.com
Web-based E-mail
Web-based e-mail services enable you to access your e-mail via a web browser. You log into your e-mail account via the Web to send and retrieve e-mail. THis allows you to access your e-mail from any browser anywhere in the world.
We provide web-based email to all of our hosting clients. It can be used in addition to the standard POP email. When setting up your POP email select the option to keep a copy of the emails on the server (if you don't do this all of the emails will be downloaded to your email client). By keeping a copy on the server you will have a backup of your emails that you can access from any computer. If you choose to keep a copy of your emails on the server you will need to occasionally delete and purge and unwanted emails as they clog up the email and take up a lot of space on the server.
E-mail Forwarding
With e-mail forwarding, you can setup aliases for other e-mail accounts. This is useful if you do not want to have a new email account set up and would rather have all your email forwarded straight to an existing email account but your existing email address doesn't look very professional. For example an alias could be set up as sales@yourdomain.com and forwarded to a hotmail account or similar.
NB. The alias email is used in place of your existing email address so the emails are not kept on our server.
Web Databases
If your website needs to update large quantities of information via the web, you will need a database to store your information. All of our hosting packages are capable of supporting database applications via MySQL, Perl and PHP. We provide database driven websites using a Linux server and PHP and MySQL.
Below is an example of what is included with our basic hosting package:
- Up to 200Mb Disk/Web space
- Up to 3Gb bandwidth per month
- Up to 5 subdomains (if required)
- Unlimited email accounts- as many as you require
- Unlimited email aliases
- Webmail- access email anywhere
- Site hosted at secure data centre
- Regular backups for lifetime of site
- Backups carried out between separate data centres
- Full site traffic / visitor statistics
- FTP access 24/7/365 (if required)
- FREE renewals of domain
By providing hosting to our clients, we can ensure that the whole process from concept to finished website is handled in-house with the minimum of hassle. Naturally clients are welcome to use their existing web hosting providing that it meets the minimum requirements for the intended web design.
We are happy to provide domain registration and hosting services for people and businesses who are not web design clients. In this instance, please contact us to arrange set-up. If you need our assistance in transferring in an existing website, we are more than happy to help.
