Web and Email Hosting Services

We offer domain name registration and web hosting services at reasonable rates, as a service to our web design clients. By special request, we can also allow clients to update their own sites.

Hosting charges are made on a monthly basis, and there is a one-off setup fee of £20. There are three levels of service:

• Your own Domain name (see note below)
• 20Mb webspace at www.yourdomain.co.uk
• 1Gb per month bandwidth allowance

• Your own Domain name (see note below)
• 40Mb webspace at www.yourdomain.co.uk
• 1Gb per month bandwidth allowance
• Up to 20 email boxes at anyname@yourdomain.co.uk
• Up to 20 auto-forwarding email addresses

• Your own Domain name (see note below)

• Secure server facility for accepting credit card details online.

If you do not have a domain name registered, we can help you to choose and register one. If you already have your domain name registered, we will transfer it to our system free of charge when we set up your web space.

Different types of Domain name have different meanings, and cost different amounts to maintain. All the domain name pricing above is for names ending in .co.uk or .org.uk. Other types of domain, including .com, .ltd.uk etc are available, but may be more expensive than .co.uk names. Please call us for the latest prices and advice.

Please note also that when we register a domain name for you, YOU own that name - we don't. If you want to use the name elsewhere, say with a different hosting company, we will transfer the name free of charge to your chosen company's control.

Owning a domain name does carry responsibilities, and each type of name can only be used in compliance with the Contract issued by the organisation which manages that type of name. For example, use of a name ending in .co.uk is subject to the Contract operated by Nominet UK, who manage the .co.uk name system, or "registry".

Here are a few examples of registries, the names they control, and links to contract documents detailing the terms and conditions required by that registry. Note that all the example contract documents are provided by our domain registration partner, Tucows Inc of Toronto, Canada.

The whole system for naming internet domains is managed by ICANN, who authorise the registries and manage standards for internet communications. ICANN operates a Dispute Resolution policy in cases where the ownership of domain names is disputed, and we are required to make you aware of this by publishing the following information:
