Website Hosting:
Please read our
recommendations for web hosting.
Go Direct
We recommend that any company that is looking
for hosting, should go directly to a company
that specializes in web hosting.
Support Issues:
Most design companies close at 5 or 5:30 pm and yes they
might even be open later, but there is next to no chance
that they will offer you 24 hour support. This means that
if your email or website is down after hours there is
little you can do about it if you have paid you web
designers to host your website. Professional web
hosting companies also have fast connections and direct
access to systems that can easily sort your problems
out, so even if you are having issues during normal
business hours, you will probably get better service
then if you share a server that a design company is
managing.
Cost Issues:
Not only are you not likely to receive great support,
you are also likely to pay less, nothing is free and
neither is website hosting, its probable that if you are
paying your design company to host your site and email
that you are paying them a markup.
Conclusion:
We will refer you to a website hosting company so that
you get better service and save money.
Options:
You actually have a variety of options, we strongly
recommend that you consider that hosting overseas is way
cheaper, with great unlimited deals and service levels
that you will not get locally. The support is normally
free if you use Skype or email (you don't have to use
your telephone to call them). Please
