Web hosting or domain hosting is critical to your online success. Your pages should load quickly for your clients, and your email services should be  efficient and reliable. 
If you are a New Zealand company or individual looking to create a web presence, first on your shopping list is a relevant domain name. Tizard Design can assist you in this selection process. This domain name will need "hosting", which simply means that your service provider (in this case, Tizard Design) creates a space on a full-time web server for your domain name. Your provider then creates email addresses for that domain name and provides access to a secure email host. You should have the option of checking your email via both a web browser AND your own email client ( Outlook, Eudora etc.).  

A hosting package also includes appropriate server space and functionality for a website, which can be developed either by the owner or by the hosts themselves. The owner of the hosting space should have access to the space via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or via a custom control panel in advanced hosting packages (CPanel etc.). It is up to the owner as to what extent services are utilised for the domain name.

A typical cost scenario would be:

Domain name purchase : $45.00 (Annual renewal)
Domain name hosting: $130.00 (Anuual renewal)

These costs include initial setup of email addresses. If you would like your own domain name, please feel free to contact us today!
