Hosting a new website
If you are looking to setup a new website that will require hosting then we can help. All websites have to be hosted, this is like renting space for your site on the internet. We can arrange hosting space for you so that your new website can be setup and designed.
We use a state of the art data centre based in the UK. It provides robust reliability and has multiple backup power systems. The data centre is even powered by renewable energy.
Any questions you might have we will be happy to assist and are always available to provide support for you and your website. In simple terms this means websites we host will be fast and reliable.

What is a domain?
Domain or domain name is essentially another meaning for website address. In other words our domain name is anditconsulting.co.uk which is simply our website address.
Will the domain belong to me?
When we register a domain for a company or individual it will always be registered in their name. This means they are the legal owner of that domain name.
What is hosting?
Put simply, hosting is space on the internet for your website. This space is provided by hosting companies like ourselves and is normally offered on an annual basis. You pay a set amount each year which reserves space for your website amongst all the others on the world wide web.
How much does website hosting cost?
Our website hosting prices start from £60 per year. They can be more for extremely large websites or those that have very large numbers of visitors, this is quite unusual though.
Why do hosting costs vary so much?
There can be variations in costs for website hosting. For the most part you should expect to pay between £40-60 per year. The quality of hosting varies quite a lot. Some very cheap hosting companies will cause your website to be slow, in some cases very slow. We only use the very best servers and hardware for hosting which means fast websites!
What about an email address, will this be included?
Any hosting package we provide comes with email addresses included. You can decide what you would like in front of the @ symbol and we will do the rest.
Are the website builders advertised on TV any good?
There are several popular website builder companies like 1&1 and Wix who advertise on TV. They provide a relatively simple solution but there are restrictions when using them. Normally we recommend against using this kind of website builder and prefer to use WordPress which is very flexible and future proof.
How much does it cost to setup a website?
Websites cost anything from £300 upwards depending on the number of pages and complexity of design.
I am looking to transfer my website from the current host, can you help?
This is quite a common request. Normally someone started out with a website builder company and has outgrown them. Often the existing hosting company is causing the website pages to load slowly. There can be limitations with some hosting companies and a lack of flexibility regarding features. We are happy to assist with transferring your website and have plenty of experience.
Can I build my own website for free?
Once you have registered the domain name and arranged hosting you can certainly have a go at building your own website. Normally we would recommend using WordPress as a base for this. If you do try to design your own site and need any assistance then please get in touch, we are happy to help.
Should I let my friend build my website?
We advise caution when someone you know suggests they can design your website! Unless it is something they have done before or they are using a well regarded platform the best advice is to be careful. If you would like some advice then just call or contact us.
