We can provide domain names and hosting separately from web design, for example if you have a site already but want to change host or want a new domain name.

If you are considering buying a domain name or hosting package before sorting out the site building, please be aware that many such deals may not provide the capacity or features needed for the site you want.

We strongly recommend that you speak to us first before being tempted to buy a domain name or hosting package, however cheap it may seem. Even if you don't buy hosting through us, we can advise on the minimum requirements for your site so you don't waste money on an unsuitable or unuseable package and face extra costs to transfer it to a suitable host.

Our hosting packages usually contain a free domain name, so any money spent acquiring it elsewhere may be completely wasted, on top of which, you may incur additional charges and delays for transferring it to the host your new site uses. Also, many hosting packages may not include the capability to provide features you want on your site.

DOMAIN NAMES come included within the cost of most of our hosting packages. If you require a domain name without hosting, or to be redirected to an existing host, we can arrange this. Prices for uk domain names start from around £5 per year, with a one-off set-up fee of £40. Within this price comes domain name parking, naming authority fees paid, website redirection, email redirection and transfer to the domain name server as required.

More advice on choosing a domain name can be found on the Business Link website.

HOSTING can be arranged for a new or existing website. We recommend Linux hosting, with basic packages starting from about £90 initially, then an annual fee of about £40-60. Windows hosting is also available. A .co.uk domain name – new or transferred in – is included.

All our hosting packages are with UK companies using UK servers. Unlike most other (often much more expensive) providers, we offer PHP4, PHP5, Perl, Python, Miva, Sun ASP and do not usually have size restrictions on sites, over-useage fees or limits on mailboxes or number of MySQL databases.
