Domain Name Registration
If you require domain name registration we can register your website domain name (in your name) as part of any web design package or as a separate service.
We recommend that you register your company name before someone
else does. When choosing a domain name you should select either
your company name or something memorable related to your business.
There are many companies on the internet who offer domain name registration. Many of these companies do not include web-hosting with the domain name. This can lead to complications later on as you will have to transfer the name to another hosting company in order to upload your web site. If you wish to purchase a domain name with the view to building a web site later, please contact us for impartial advice
Web Hosting
We do not host websites. We do what we are good at - Web Design. Instead, we recommend the services of Heart Internet who have invested in state-of-the-art facilities, who provide excellent service on a 24/7 basis at competitive prices.
Important: when we design your site, your domain names & web hosting accounts are all registered in YOUR (or your businesses) name. This is a very important administrative factor which many other web design companies overlook. We believe that you or your business should be the registered owner of your domains.
Web design companies who offer web hosting are usually re-sellers who use the facilities of a dedicated web host. We don't do this. We believe that you, the client, should have ultimate control over your web site and for this reason, your web hosting contract is between you and the host.
Website Hosting - what is it anyway?
Web hosting is simply space on a server where your website files (pages) are stored. The server is connected to the internet and makes the files available to users. Your domain name points at the server where the files are stored.
If
you have already purchased a domain name without web space then we can set up your web hosting for you and facilitate the transfer of your domain name to the new web host.
Buying a domain and web space as a package is more straightforward
and we can set up your domain name & website hosting for you.
