UK domain name hosting Cornwall

UK Domain hosting Cornwall

Choice of domain host is so important. Not only should they be on-line all the time, but they should also have a fast reliable connection to the Web backbone. We can even arrange to have your web-site moved to a cheaper host if yours is too expensive. Though Cornwall by Cornishlight began its life on free webspace. we are gradually moving all our pages to the same fast server used by all our other sites. See our Portfolio.

Rates charged by providers for registration and hosting a domain vary greatly depending on many factors:

the level of service and the reputation of the provider;
whether it is a .com or .co.uk;
the number of email addresses you require;
availability of a cgi-bin, essential if you want to process enquiry forms;
whether your site's access statistics "stats" are provided;
whether or not site maintenance, page updates etc are included
free technical support availability by phone or email;
reliability of service.

The price of reliable web server space is dropping all the time. It may well be much cheaper than you think. Contact Cornish Light for more details. or see here Price List for latest prices.

Secure Online Order Forms

In addition to providing online enquiry or booking forms we can provide your site with a Secure Order Form. If you want to accept credit cards on-line the only way to do this, whilst providing complete confidence to your clients, is by means of a on-line order form residing on a secure server. Services offered range from setting up a page to taking a persons' credit card details using a Secure Order Form, such as we've just arranged for Kernow Passports to setting up the scripts for receiving and processing a booking including taking on-line payment. N.B. Given the following :

the complexity of handling encrypted information
the unwillingness of many people to trust secure online ordering
the willingness of people to write their card no. onto a piece of paper and fax that to you
we ask you have a chat with us before you go down this particular road.

Buyer Beware

There is no such thing as a free lunch neither on the web or in real life There are many companies advertising apparently cheap uk domain hosting. Sadly the following are all too common:

Hosting is not in fact hosting but a business card front page;

Hosting is in fact only a redirect to free web space provided by your ISP;

Email utilising your domain name is not available. (In web jargon a POP3 mailbox)

The servers are so slow, or overused, that pages take forever to download;

Even worse, the servers are often down, so no one is able to look at your site

An annoying banner ad pops up on every page

You'd like to update your pages, only to find there is an additional charge for doing so

You need help and find there is no technical back up;

Disenchanted by their service you then find they will charge you £200 to move elsewhere

They then refuse to release the 'tags' to your domain making it impossible to move it

Cornishlight arranges hosting on fast reliable servers. Have a look at any of our Sites to see for yourself. Our price for registration is for two years, and includes naming authority fees. Your domain will be registered in your name.
