Check availability for the perfect website address for you – type the name you are looking for eg, mywebsitename and we will tell you which extensions are available for it.
The domain is often the first thing your customers see of your company. We will help find a domain that fits your business and is memorable. Your website helps establish your business’s brand and credibility, so let’s choose carefully. We purchase the domain and register it for you, however, you will own the domain.
See our domain options below. Our domain forwarding cost is £0.61 + VAT per month.
Once we know what type of website you want, we will give advice on the best package for you. Typically an information only website perhaps with a small gallery will fall in to the standard package. Your total domain and hosting charge would then be a monthly fee of £8.24 +VAT per month for hosting on a .co.uk domain or £8.67 + VAT per month if you have chosen a .com domain. The charge for domain and hosting and any relevant email costs is set up on a direct debit payment. We provide safe hosting using our secure Web Directions servers. Our web hosting charges are more cost-effective than many other well known hosting companies. Peace of mind is guaranteed – daily backups of your website, the highest level of internet security with anti-spam and anti-virus applications are all included.
Three simple packages to choose from.
If you only need Web Directions to provide hosting for your website, and do not ask us to also build the website, you will incur a one off charge of £25.00 +VAT. This covers the administration needed to set you up manually on our server and provide you secure Control Panel access.
If you have already purchased your domain from another provider, but would like us to host the website files (the content that people will see when they click on your domain eg www.yourdomain.xyz), all we need is the name of the domain provider you bought the domain from, and the account or C-Panel login information. This is the username and password that you created when you purchased your domain. We can then point your domain to the files on our web hosting. Alternatively we will, as often is the case when we are to be hosting a replacement website on an existing domain, send you the required DNS records so you or your IT department/company can point the existing domain to our servers. There is a £35.00 + vat one off charge to copy the files and move the data if you are asking us to move the hosting from your existing supplier to us.
If you already have web hosting in place that you would like us to build your website on, please send us the name of the hosting provider you are using and the account or C-Panel login information. This is the username and password that you created when you purchased your hosting package. We can then check if this hosting meets the necessary requirements. Please note : This isn’t our preferred way of working. If we are building a website, we prefer to host it as well. Doing so allows us to be confident in the performance of the website once it is live. Insufficient hosting can result in slow loading websites among other issues. Also, more importantly, if you or us find something wrong, we both know immediately it is down to us here at Web Directions to fix the issue. We do not want to be contacting and awaiting a response from a third party. If you do not want to release the username and password to us for your domain management so we can point it to our hosting, then we will send you our server DNS records.
If you already have a domain and existing web hosting with another provider that you would like us to take over, all we need is the name of the current domain provider and hosting provider, along with the account or C-Panel login information. This is the username and password that you created when you purchased your domain and hosting. We reserve the right to charge a £35.00 +VAT fee for transferring an existing domain to our control panel and/or to transfer domain and hosting of a website to one of our servers. Please note, we cannot take over or move a website to our own hosting that has already been created using a website builder package such as GoDaddy, Wix or Shopify.
We don’t sign you up to a contract. We hope that the level of support and service you receive from us will be enough to make you want to stay but we understand that sometimes clients decide to stop using our services. You are free to leave at any time.
Domain: If you wish to move your domain away from us there will be a one-off cost of £35.00 + VAT. This is an Admin charge to accept the domain transfer request and this also covers us for the cost of your domain that we pay annually in advance.
Hosting: If you wish to move your hosting away from us there is a £35.00 + VAT one-off charge to copy the files (sent as a zip file) and we will send you the database as a .sql file. Alternatively, if have the correct skill set yourself
You can log in to the server with the correct username and password to copy the files and database yourself.
If you have already got web hosting in place and an existing website that you would like us to make changes to, please send us a link to the current website, eg www.yourdomain.xyz, the name of the hosting provider you are using, and the account or C-Panel login information. This is the username and password that you created when you purchased your hosting package. If your existing website is built with WordPress or another CMS, we would also need the existing admin username and password.
We will be asking you to also give us;
We can automatically request this transfer from your current domain supplier but we will need a EPP code.
This is not a problem. We only need you to provide us with MP3 file for Audio or MP4 file for Video. Please be aware depending on the file sizes there will be an increase in your hosting costs. If you do not want to have an increase in your hosting cost but still have video(s) on your website then you can also upload your videos to YouTube. YouTube will host your videos for free and we will create a link to this video on your website. Please see samples by clicking here.
