Ark
Web Site Design provides web site hosting services
from £2.91 a month. If you are not sure what hosting is all about,
then read below where we have listed the most asked questions
and answers that will help you understand the issues behind hosting.
QUESTION:
What is Hosting
ANSWER: All web pages on the
Internet have to be stored on a server (computer) in order to
be viewed by anyone browsing the Internet, this is called Hosting.
QUESTION:
What do I need to do to have my web site Hosted. ANSWER:
You can sign up with a Host Provider like Ark to display your
site. Most ISP' today offer free server space for members to display
their web pages, but many do not allow business to be conducted
from them.
QUESTION:
What are the differences between "my ISP" pages, and having my
site with Ark Hosting server.
ANSWER: The only difference
other then the professional URL (Uniform Resource Locator) address
you would get with us. The URL is what people type into the menu
bar at the top of your browser window. For example, instead of
seeing a URL address that begins with "members.aol.com" (you cannot
use a www.com domain name using "your own ISP space), you would
get professional address that begins with "www.ark.uk.com/mybusiness".
The "mybusiness" would be your company name.
QUESTION:
What are the main differences to having my own www.com domain
name, and attaching my name to Ark Hosting' address. ANSWER:
The main differences between the two are cost and requirements.
Having your own domain name www.mybusiness.co.uk would require
an up front costs of £156 to set-up (you must obtain a Host other
then your current ISP to use a www.com domain name). This would
include registering the www.com name, and paying us to Host your
web pages on our server (approximately. £7 per year per page after
set-up costs). By attaching your business name to our www.ark.uk.com
address, you eliminate the expensive up front costs registering
a name. You would also get a professional URL business address.
For example; If you attach your business name as a sub domain
to www.ark.uk.com/mybusiness" your cost would be £7 per year per
page...and NO set-up fees.
QUESTION:
Would another Host provide maintenance for my site i.e.: perform
updates or changes, as I need them.
ANSWER: No...a Hosts' sole
purpose is to provide server space for your web pages. If something
goes wrong with your site such as bro links, corrupt display
of the web pages etc.. you are responsible to fix the problems.
