Web Hosting & Maintenance

Web Hosting can be rather puzzling at times... Different websites often require different types of Web Hosts, with different features, quotas and capabilities. Therefore, we can either point you in the right direction, or even sort everything out for you! Domain Your website will require its very own domain. A web Domain is the bit that comes after the www. and before the forward slash - An example is "ryan-bate.co.uk". Your web Domain can also be used for email addresses, for example - "info@ryan-bate.co.uk". You can usually get a limited number of domain based email addresses with web hosting, or you can also delegate this task to Google. A good domain is short, makes sense, and is enticing. You need to choose the main section, which is fully customisable, and the suffix, which isn't. The most popular suffixes for UK businesses are .co.uk and .org.uk, however there is nothing stopping you going for a .com. Web Domains vary in cost, and a .uk domain usually costs around £5-00 for two years. Alternativley, you can purchase a .com, .org or even .net domain for around £15-00 for two years. These prices are estimates and subject to change.
