web hosting

We can set up a web hosting package with a reputable web hosting provider and install and configure you site and email. This hosting and installation package costs $250. It includes the registration of a domain name for 2 years and 1 year of web hosting as well as a set-up and installation/administration fee (labour costs).

The hosting package includes:

* 5 GB web space
* 10 GB monthly data transfer
* 100 email addresses
* ability to host 2 additional domain names
* statistics
* ability to install other items such as photo galleries and blogs and personal websites

After the first year you will need to renew your hosting which will cost around $150 a year. You will also need to renew your domain name after 2 years.

Why we don't host your site for you

Some web design companies will offer to host your site for you - for a fee. We prefer to use a dedicated web host company so that you have access to a 24hr support team and technical experts to help with any issues you have with your site in the future.

Our preferred host is Servers Australia, although we are happy to work with other hosting providers. Our preferred type of hosting plans are Linux based.

Domain names are included

Having your own domain name such as www.yourcompanyname.com.au is not only professional but is also a way of reinforcing your brand and company name. Each hosting package comes with a domain name of your choice.*

*Please note that you will need to supply a valid ABN or ACN in order to purchase a .com.au address. Also be aware that your first choice of domain name may not be available.

If you already have a web host or domain name or if you want to make your own arrangements

You can arrange your web hosting yourself if you prefer. We can arrange installation of your website on your hosting for $150. If you do not wish us to install your site you will need to pay a one-off $50 preview hosting fee so that we can host your draft website.

Upfront payment

Please note that your hosting fees will need to be paid in advance and your hosting account active before any web design work can commence. For more information, see our payment terms information.

Make your company email more professional

With up to 100 email addresses included with your account you can have a number of contact points for your business and employees.

You can have email addresses for yourself and your staff as well as generic email addresses for sales or support.

Your business will appear much more professional with a company domain name address rather than one from a free service or an internet service provider.
