Keeping your message online

The world can't get to your website when it's only on your PC's hard disk. That's why you need it to be "hosted", on a server computer with a high-speed connection to the Internet.

Good quality website hosting can easily cost $10 - $20 a month. Our base price for professional (advertisement-free) high-availability (99.9%+ uptime) high-speed (100Mb/second) hosting is only $19.99 (£10.99) a quarter (3 months).

There are cheaper and even free offers, but they can only be achieved by cutting corners and, especially for business, you have to ask yourself: do you actually want your website to be there, reliably, when you really need it?

Can you even afford the cheap offers? Bear in mind that: * Your service may be compromised by intrusive advertising. * The system may not be reliable. * The technical specification is probably poor: which will affect muliple visitors to your site. * Although they probably will provide free site-building software, it won't be the integrated zero-learning curve system that we offer. As you strugle to get it working you have to question: how valuable is your time? Isn't it cheaper to pay for something that just works?

Furthermore, we are always keen to work out ways that we can reduce the cost. For example:

• If you commit to a year in advance, our charges fall to under $5/ £3 a month.
• In the quest for their future custom, we will shortly launch a superb new deal for kids and students.
• Under our referral system, costs fall to $zero for life as long as you refer four new customers a year.

Domain names

It's good to have your own personal .com web address, and essential for business. We can offer you a .com or other Top Level Domain at the amazing price of only $9.95 (£5.75) a year. Alternatively, our services are compatible with any domains you may already own (as long as your registrar allows you control of them).

E-Commerce

We are a keen enabler of e-commerce for all businesses of any size. With our expertise and systems investment, we can upgrade your site to secure credit/ debit card acceptance and a product catalogue under your control - in a few days and for prices starting below $100 (£60).

Even a full retail site design/ set-up job with a 100-product catalogue will not usually exceed $750/ £425. Compare that to the "2000 pounds for a basic site" and "5000 pounds ($8750) upwards for any e-commerce facilities" suggested by the BBC's Working Lunch show (December 2004). And you don't even need a Merchant Account!
