Hosting is how your website is published and available to the internet. It is vital- without it, your site is just a collection of files visible only to you.
We're pleased to offer hosting for sites we create, at a discounted rate of £50 for the first year. Our service includes:
* Price may vary depending on your preferred domain name. We'll talk you through your options, and find something that works for you.
If you want to look after your own hosting, no problem. We recommend (and use ourselves) Hostinger. They're reliable, with a user-friendly interface, and helpful technical support.
We can also help with hosting for your existing site. Please get in touch for a quote.
Our hosting service comes with some terms that you should be aware of:
We rely on a third-party supplier for services, and are bound by their terms. You can read them here: https://www.hostinger.co.uk/universal-terms-of-service-agreement
We make every reasonable effort to ensure that your hosting service is available. However, a service interruption is always possible. Pro-rata refunds are available for any period of downtime exceeding one day.
Your hosting contract term begins when the domain registration is submitted. Your website will be live once the registration is complete, which usually takes between 24 and 72 hours.
We need a contact at your business, the business name, address, email and phone number for the domain registration.
We're happy to help you get you set up with an email provider so you can use your domain with an email provider of your choice. We recommend keeping your domain registration, hosting and email separate to avoid vendor lock-in.
Your annual package is renewable annually. It's optional, and you're always free to take your site elsewhere if you prefer.
If you choose not to renew your hosting services with us, please let us know. If you choose not to renew, or don't tell us you want to renew, and don't have an alternative provider, your website may not be accessible or publicly visible.
We're happy to offer three editorial changes (eg changes to text, replacement of an image) per annum. Extra editorial changes are charged at the prevailing rate (please see our pricing section for details). More complicated changes can be accommodated, please ask for a quote.
