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 the first 2 years 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.
