Domain name registration
We can register, administer and automatically renew your domain name for you, which means you have one less thing to worry about. Of course, you can register your domain with anyone but be aware that you will probably have to pay a fee to transfer the domain to our servers when it comes to hosting the site. Our costs are:
- co.uk/org.uk/me.uk/ltd.uk/plc.uk £12.00 + vat per 2 years
- biz/com/info/net/org £22 + vat per 2 years
Website hosting
Our hosting services provide a reliable, high speed home for your web site and email. There's no need to sign up to a set package, we'll set you up with what you need and can adjust it later. Basic hosting starts from just £50 per year and includes:
- 500 MB of web space - enough to host most websites.
- 1 gigabyte of data transfer per month - enough to cater for fairly high amounts of visitors to your site
- 10 POP3 box email addresses - plus unlimited email aliases
- Web mail facilities - so you can access your email remotely
- Control panel log in - allowing you to change or add email accounts

Add value to your site
When developing your site, consider how you can make it easier for your customers to do business with you. Divide your information into relevant sections to avoid confusion. Think about how you can help your customer choose the right product, or calculate how much they need. Think like your customer and use their language, not yours. This kind of functionality will add value to your site in the minds of you customer and offer an advantage over your competitors.
