Hosting your site
To make your web site available to the
world, you need a web host. There are dozens of 'free' hosting services
available: you may already have selected an ISP to give you internet access and
e-mail, and your ISP may also offer web space.
Although free ISPs are usually reasonably
reliable for an internet connection and e-mail, they have definite drawbacks
when it comes to hosting your site.
They may not allow you to use your own URL
(web site address) but require you to use a sub-domain of their site, for
example: www.freeisp.com/members/your-business.htm. So your
customers know you're using a free ISP and don't take you seriously. Your
visitors will find a lot of advertising that's nothing to do with your business
- including those annoying pop-up boxes. Some ISPs will offer to register
your own name free - but wait until you become dissatisfied with their service
and want to move your web site elsewhere! The 'transfer fee' is likely to
be considerably more than it would have cost to register your name yourself.
There are some companies that will charge you £70 or more to register your
domain and then charge you the same amount again if you want to transfer it!
See our prices for a nice surprise.
Although Equinenet
is a small company which prides itself on personal service, there's nothing
small about the servers we use to host your web site! Or about the 24 hour
server support that ensures your website is online 365 days a year.
There's no limit on the size of the site, or the number of full POP3 e-mail
accounts or forwarders you can have.
Your site will be hosted on our
dedicated Cobalt RAQ4 servers with full support for ASP, Perl, CGI,
MySQL,FrontPage 2000, PHP and more. (Don't worry, if we design your
site for you, you don't need to know what all this means.) Call now on
01299 841 338 or e-mail enquiry@equinenet.org.uk
and let us do the worrying for you.
