Domain Hosting

The complete package for small businesses

Running a small business, you’ll understand the importance of getting things right first time, and of course, the inevitable costs of getting things wrong. Looking for a solution to your business’ online needs can seem something of a minefield, that’s why our Small Business Hosting package is the ideal, cost effective solution that will help you drive your business forward with confidence.

You may already have a web site but you’re becoming tired of the escalating running costs, or you may have experienced poor or impersonal service from your current host. Whatever the reason, we can help. As well as offering an exceptional standard hosting package, we can build a bespoke package that fits your requirements and those of your business, and we’ll offer a friendly personal service throughout. That’s a promise.

Secure and reliable hosting

Your web site is a valuable investment. To maximise its potential it should work hard for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That’s why reliable web hosting should be high on your list of considerations, after all, if your visitors can’t access your site then it cant do its job.

Our hosting package utilises the power, flexibility and reliability of the latest Microsoft servers with an average 99.99% up time, which exceeds the industry average. You’ll also benefit from secure, round the clock File Transfer Protocol access allowing you to update information and images whenever it suits you, and if you’re using an online database, you’ll also appreciate access to the most up to the minute sales and client data available. If you’re not sure of your hosting needs, we’ll be happy to advise you and discuss all the options available.

Domain transfer, registration and management

Domain names are the key to bringing customers in touch with your business’ online services and facilities. If you already have a domain name and are looking for us to host your web site, we can help you make the transition smoothly and seamlessly.

Choosing the right domain name is an important consideration as you’ll want it to reflect your business. Of course you don’t have to use your business name (especially if the name is already taken), many businesses find that a name which reflects the mood and feel of the business, or one which identifies a primary product or service can be especially effective in promoting the company online. With bespoke packages, you can also choose up to 5 sub-domains, perfect for grouping a number of mini-sites within your main web site. Whatever your preference we’ll be happy to assist you in choosing and registering your domain name.

Multiple email addresses using your business domain name

With or standard package you can register up to 10 email addresses based on your own domain name, and even more as part of a bespoke package. Think of the possibilities. Individual business email addresses for each member of staff, dedicated email addresses for your sales, accounts and enquiries departments. You can even nominate an email address to receive your customer’s responses from your web site’s online registration or enquiry forms. Email addresses based on your own domain name create a professional impression for clients and customers, are easy to remember, and will enhance all your business’ electronic communication.

Online data management and interactive content

Depending on the nature of your business you may find that the information you display online doesn’t change very much, and you’re able to manage your customer details on a day to day basis and communicate quite effectively using email. You’ll find a static web site perfect for your needs. But what if you have hundreds of products, need to collect information from customers or suppliers online, or you need to automate the way web users interact with your web site?

Your solution may lie with a database or other advanced features. Our hosting packages offer the convenient and flexible option of an online Microsoft Access database and the delivery of interactive and dynamic content with Active Server Pages and ASP.Net. You’ll be amazed how easy it is to add and update stock items, prices, customer details and much more, and have access to all that information instantly and securely at any time of the day or night. Talk to us about your specific requirements, we’ll be pleased to show you how your business can benefit.
