Website Hosting

Once you have created your website it needs to be placed on a special internet server which will provide it to internet users worldwide. For people to be able to find your website an identifying ‘domain name’ is needed, for example this website (the 'www' part) is hosted at a domain called
'dh-systems.co.uk'.

Often overlooked is website maintenance, and many well-designed websites are tragically allowed to go out-of-date. One of the greatest advantages of the web over printed material is your ability to make changes at any time which are then immediately visible to the next person who visits the website.  Whoever you host with check what their fee includes.

The following are of particular importance :

  1. How well your website will operate.  View sites they host to determine how quickly pages load, and whether the websites are reliably available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
  2. Email services should include the choice between storing emails for you to collect from a mailbox, and forwarding them to your existing account.
  3. Find our the charges for updating your website, and for other admin and maintenance. Ideally a quota of amendments and changes will be included within the hosting fee.
