Why do I need web hosting?
People can get confused between buying a domain name and buying web hosting. Buying a domain name gives you the right to use that name on your website but your website will need somewhere to live and this where a hosting package comes in.
We recommend and use the hosting company Native Space. They have a fantastic entry level package from just £3.18 + VAT (annual package) and we will configure this hosting package and install your website for you.
The basic package includes:
- Guaranteed 99.9% server uptime.
- Disk Space of 500Mb - This is the space for your website and this will be big enough for a small business web site, a web content management system and an ecommerce website too.
- Huge monthly bandwidth of 5000Mb (5Gb) - This monthly bandwidth is extremely generous compared to other packages available.
- 25 POP Email Boxes - Create 25 new mailboxes and the can be redirected to existing email addresses if required.
- 6-Hourly Continuous Data Protection Backups (CDP)
- 1-Click Backup and Restore
- 8-Core CPU 64-bit Hewlett-Packard Server - cutting-edge enterprise grade hardware
- RAID (Hard Drive Redundancy)

Hosting moving procedure
If you already have a domain then we can check to see if you have the required elements for installing the cms and shopping cart. If we can then there is no need to swap your domain.
If your exisiting package won't support then our hosting package includes everything you need.
By law they have 10 days to complete the transfer of a domain and some companies take 24 hours and some will take the full 10 days
Don't worry if you don't fully understand as we will help you every step of the way.
