Hosting

What is it?

Once you have a website, you need somewhere to host it, and because you want your site to be visible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you need to choose a hosting service that can provide that kind of reliability.

Because hosting is so important we have chosen to go into partnership with another company that specialises in it and almost more importantly provides a service that continues all day, every day.

While there is no problem if you already have a hosting company that you wish to remain with, switching hosting provider is a quick and easy process that can open up many opportunities for you and your website, here are some examples:

• Server Side Scripting using Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP)
• Secure online SQL Server or Access databases
• E-mailing from your website
• Uploading files/pictures to your site from anywhere in the world
• WAP support for mobile-phone viewing and interactivity
• Text messaging from your website
• Online e-commerce shop accepting all major credit cards
• Instant site updating

Hosting costs just £30 a month and includes as many POP3 e-mail addresses as you require, as well as the capabilities to provide any of the above services, and also any technical support needed.
