FAQs
Do I need a domain name to get web hosting?
You will need a domain name if you want to have email or a website. You can use your own existing domain name or purchase a new one with your web hosting plan.
What sort of website do I need?
The type of website you need depends on your business goals and your potential customers.
- To generate some extra leads you need a brochure-style website.
- To display your products or services you should consider a database-driven website.
- If you want to appeal to a younger audience then you'll need an interactive, content-rich website.
- If you have a unique idea and will develop your own website then you'll need to allow for extra space and bandwidth.
When considering your own needs it's a good idea to investigate your competitors' websites.
How much space do I need?
The amount of space you need depends on how many emails you will send and receive and the size of the files on your website. If you run out of space we offer flexible upgrade plans.
How much data transfer will I need?
The amount of data you transfer depends on how many people visit your website and the size of the files you download. Everytime someone visits your website they will download some files so they can see the pages. It’s best to be generous when making a decision.
