Hosting & Registration - Getting your site live
In order to get your site live, it needs to be 'hosted'. This is where it's files are loaded onto a computer that is available to the internet. In theory this could be done on a home computer but then this would have to be left on 24/7 and would be open to viruses and hacking so is better left to the experts!
In order to do this, if you already have a domain name registered, we
will need to transfer it.
This process is different for .co.uk and .com, .net,. info etc but
I will guide you through the process and do as much of this as I
can for you.
If you have not already got a a domain name, then you can look at available names here. '.co.uk' domain names are free with the hosting cost but you can pay the difference for a '.com' or other domain.
* Beware !! A new client recently transferred his domain,
but the company who registered it for him had put it in their name
instead of his and charged him £100 to have it changed!! Please
ask for advice before sorting a transfer or registering a domain.
I charge just £50 / ana for hosting (minimum hosting
2 years) which
includes .co.uk registration or transfer, site statistics,
up to 5 e-mail addresses (with auto forwarding to your personal address
OR online email client OR you can set up using Outlook or other e-mail
client).
.com and other domain types incur an additional £15 charge and .info £35
extra.
