FAQ's on Web Hosting:

What is web hosting and why do I need it?
When you type in a domain name you generally then see a set of pages making up a web site. Originally these pages would have been constructed on a computers' hard drive. Once their creator is happy with the site he then needs a computer that is continually connected to the Internet so that anyone from anywhere can see the site at any time. This is the web space and the site is hosted on that computer. We provide that web space so you can "publish" your web site for al the world to see!

How do I get hosting?
If you already have a domain name and just require the web space please CLICK HERE.

If you need a domain name as well search for that domain from our domain names page and just before the order form there are options to add a hosting package to your chosen domain.

How much does it cost and are there any hidden fees?
Hosting costs just £50/$85 per year excluding VAT- that includes the transfer of the domain you have already. There are no other fees to pay.

What does the package consist of?
The package consists of the features listed at the top of this page. As well as the "hardware" you also get an assurance that we will be help with any specific web related problem you may have provided it is within our knowledge!

How do I pay?
You can either search for an available domain and purchase it along with hosting through the online form at the end using your credit card - this is completely secure and handled by WorldPay, a reputable merchant service- (we do not receive details of your credit card this way, only WorldPay and the actioning bank) or you can order by phone, again with your credit card or we will accept cheques. If you just require hosting then an order form can be accessed via the CLICKING HERE

What if I have a domain name I bought elsewhere and want hosting from you?
No problem, place your order and we will contact you right away with instructions on how to move the domain from your current host or domain holder.

What if I bought a domain name from you some time ago and now want it hosting?
On purchasing your domain name you will have been given a link to our domain management access area - simply place your hosting order from there or phone or email us.

How much web space do I get and what is an MB?
A MB is a megabyte which is a measure of computer space. You get 150MB of web space with all hosting packages.

How long before my web space is active?
The FTP details will be with you within a couple of hours normally. Usually it can take a day or two for the domain name to associate with the web space and then you are up and running!!

Can I cancel Hosting?
If you wish to cancel hosting this can be done if notified in writing but one month must have elapsed since ordering the hosting. Your money will be refunded less however months the hosting had been active and less the cost of the domain name if bought with hosting.

What is a Control Panel?
The Control Panel is an area you log on to and can change email rules, add POP boxes, autoresponders and manage databases amonst other facilities - this is useful if you intend to perform a lot of configurations of this kind. Changes made from the control panel are also instant.

What is FTP?
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and is something novice webmasters sometimes struggle with in the beginning. FTP allows the transfer of your web pages and images from your computer to your web space. There is help in the members section and we do not mind at all talking you through this over the phone.

What is CGI?
CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface. When you fill out a form on a web site and get a "thanks, we'll be in touch" page afterwards, this has been due to a cgi script. CGI scripts also run counters (devices for measuring the amount of visitors you get to a site), guestbooks, domain name searches! and a huge number of other features you see on the web. We supply several scripts ready for use but you can also add your own.

Do I get any CGI scripts with my web space?
Yes - preinstalled are a counter script - bulleting board - mailform to collect information or orders from your visitors and have it automaically mailed to you -Guestbook - Whois for looking up the availabilty of Domain Names and a redirect script. These can be "switched on" from your online control panel.

What is email forwarding?
If you buy www.yourdomain.com email forwarding allows you to have as many email addresses as you wish for that domain. So that means you can have steve@yourdomain.com, fred@yourdomain.com, sales@yourdomain.com, enquiries@yourdomain.com, in fact, as many of those addresses as you wish. And they can all be forwarded to an email accent of your choice. So if your email address is bob@Freeserve.co.uk or bob@hotmail.com any email to those addresses above will land in your Freeserve or hotmail email account.

What is a POP box?
This allows you greater control over email - you can have several POP boxes set to deliver mail to individuals - which allows for privacy and automatic distribution of mail to whoever it is intended to be delivered to.

What is an Autoresponder?
An autoresponder automatically sends a message back to the sender of the incoming message to your POP box - say for example you were on holiday, the autoresponder could be set to send the message - "thanks very much for your enquiry - i am away from the office at present but will deal with your enquiry on my return" - back to the sender of each message it recieves.

What are PHP and Perl?
These are all various forms of web page authoring or ways to get things to happen on your site. They are more advanced than basic web page writing but if you are going to learn any of them or have your site designed by an agency they are important to have as available.

What is a subdomain?
Sometimes you will have seen a domain name like http://control.lifecoachwebsolutions.com (that's our members area) this is a web site within a web site. You simply add a word or words before the main domain name, put a dot and you have another website complete with its own features, email and more. This is handy if you intend to have members areas or various departments to your site.

5 Sub domains come free with each package but we do have to set them up so you have to let us know what you want.

What is DNS?
DNS are what a web domain name attaches to and shows the web site within that web space. A domain name requires these to function. If you were to move a web site from one host to another then you need to tell the old host the new DNS - they then attach the new DNS to the domain name and a short time later the web site will show at its new web space.

What is an IPS Tag?
An IPS tag identifies who has control of the domain, if you want your new host to be able to modify the details of the domain - contact and technical contacts etc., then the control of the domain must be changed along with the DNS.

If I get stuck will you help?
No problem, the only time we won't help is if we can't! There is also a great deal of help accessible from the control panel.

Can I add further features to the space and at what cost?
Our package consists of just about everything you will ever need for your web site - there are no extras, no hidden costs. Once you have purchased your web space the only further charges will be the annual fee in a years time.

If I get lots of visitors will I have to pay more?
Bandwidth is the amount of accrued data transferred between your web site and the sites visitors - 1.5 GB is more than ample for just about every web site - should you exceed this limit by a small amount every so often you will not incur any penalties. Should your site become a large drain on our resources we do reserve the right to suspend your account until a suitable solution is reached.

Can you help if my site is a success and I need advice?
If you launch what was initially a small site but it takes off unexpectedly and would like help with quickly upgrading the design or want to know what your site may need to help make it more efficient - just let us know!

Can you build my web site?
Yes we can. Examples of sites can be found on the Web Design page - we can take on anything from a simple brochure site to a full blown ecommerce enabled shopping site and everything in-between. We are more than happy to discuss your needs starting with an informal, no obligation chat. Please contact us for more details.
