This is the number of web pages we will design for you. To get more pages please upgrade to the next plan.

You will get FREE hosting included with this plan.

Hosting & Web Solutions does not charge a set up fee for this plan, the only cost you pay for is the cost of the plan and/or the domain name.

We often get asked if there were any hidden costs since our prices are very low for custom designed websites with free hosting.

Transparency and quality are considered vital for our long term business relationship with your company and so there are no surprises! The attractive web development costing is a result of our hands-on talented design and development team.

We do not offer a contract for this plan. As this is a small plan, we believe that no contracts should be included. For this reason our customers stay with us for the excellent service we provide.

Thanks to our multiple redundant internet connections and network components we are confident enough to guarantee that our network will be available 99.9% of the time, excluding scheduled maintenance. There is no such option as 100% uptime from any service provider.

When you sign up for a web hosting account or domain name your Hosting & Web Solutions account is automatically setup, getting you onto the web faster.

If you feel the need to either upgrade or downgrade your account, you can simply send us an email.

There are 1 type of control panel that you will get:

• Email User´s Control Panel

Each email account created is called a user. Each user has access to their own mini administrator control panel mainly to perform email functions.

You can learn more about the control panel on our support pages.

Any website that you host with us is viewable and operable from all operating systems.

Many service providers put profits over service and reliability by cramming hundreds sometimes even thousands of websites on the same server. We are totally against overselling server space and have a server structure plan to which we stick to religiously.

We understand that websites and email space need "room to move" as businesses expand, therefore we leave plenty of room on each server for projected maximum growth. Keeping load to a minimum ensures the smooth operation of our servers and your site.

Hosting & Web Solutions use all high quality Dell hardware, which are the at the same standard as what the major banks use in Ireland. You can rest assured that your data is safe and will always be available.

All of our servers include two separate power supply units within them, each of which is capable of powering the entire system by itself. If, for some reason, there is a failure in one of the units, the other one will seamlessly take over to prevent the loss of power to the PC. A Hosting & Web Solutions technician will then replace the faulty unit all without your site ever going offline.

All accounts have POP3 and SMTP activated, so you can check your email from your preferred email client such as Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express, Pocket PC, PDA or any other POP3 email program.

IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is a method of accessing email messages that are kept on a mail server. In other words, it permits a "client" email program to access remote message stores as if they were local. For example, email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a notebook computer while traveling, without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers.

• Each email account you create has access to IMAP, you need to configure support for this in your email client.

You can check your email from ANY email client on any computer running any operating system, Windows, Mac, UNIX or Linux.
