What’s Next?

Now you have your site there are other costs you may need to incur and most companies seem to skirt round the issue.
We don’t! Whilst it is possible that you won’t need to incur any extra costs, additional costs unrelated to the web site design are an odds on bet.

Just Consider:



Web Hosting and Domain Addresses
Now you have your shiny new site. Where are you going to put it? You need a host. Hosting is usually a bit like renting a piece of land where you can reside. Your site is also resides with a host. 5i doesn’t think that renting is good for you, so we effectively lease you a large bit of space for life. We charge you £150.00 plus Vat up front and then a yearly administration fee of £50.00.

Many web companies want £50 a month for the same thing!

If it is a small site, and you have some free web space as part of your ISP deal this is probably enough.

However your Internet address will be something like http://www.users.myispthatcostmenothing/JoeBloggsbusiness.co.uk. Does this give the right image when £20.00 gets you your own address that can be used with free web space?

If you go for this option and already have an ISP that you are happy with-great. If not we recommend Totalise. Find out why.

If you want your own domain name, or already have one, and want fast quality web hosting check out own fantastic deal. Find a quality service offering the same comprehensive service and is as fast secure and reliable and you can have a free domain name on us.
