If
you're going to have a web site built for you, you will
need reliable, cost effective Web services. These include the
different services that will be necessary to keep your web site
running smoothly and efficiently. There are many companies that
offer all these services, but we haven't found many companies
that offer all services in a simple format, at competitive rates.
Below we've set out the basics that you will need, whether your
running your own site or getting us to build it for you.

Web Space |
|
Few people realise
that if you want a web
site, you have to have somewhere to put the site! Although there's
really no need to know where your site is actually contained,
it is worth knowing that it is important that where it lives
needs to be secure. Your web site is loaded onto computers called
servers, and these are usually owned by companies that have
invested in high security, sate of the art technology that is
proved not to fail. This is important if you want your web site
up and running 24 hours a day.
At
artwebs.co.uk, we rent our own dedicated servers from
one of the largest domain-space providers in the country. Fast
hosts UK, provide us with unlimited space which we can rent
to you at very low and competitive prices. |

Domain Names |
|
We can provide any domain name
that you want, if available. Choosing the correct name for your
company isn't easy, especially if others have the name you require.
We will discuss the merits of owning different domain names
and give advice as to the suitability of names that you may
have in mind. We also advise as to the best names to get your
site ranked in the search engines.
As part of this service, we can check availability and buy the
domain names you require. |

Email Accounts |
|
| Once you have your domain set
up on our servers, we provide up to three free pop3 email accounts.
If you need extra email accounts; we can set these up too for
a small additional fee per account. We will provide access passwords
and user names to you, so that you can set up and run email
programs such as Outlook or Outlook Express to collect your
email. |

Search Engine
registration |
|
When your site is published,
it must be available to the maximum amount of people surfing
the web. Many people use a search engine to find the site they're
looking for, so getting your name registered with as many search
engines as possible is essential.
For a small fee we will submit your site automatically to around
150 search engines and manually to the top 10. Together with
this,we will make sure that you have the correct code in your
site so that the search engines will locate your site easily.

Site meters |
|
| After your site is up and running,
it's important to know who's looking at it and where in the
world they are from. We always put a free site meter on every
site. This gives you access to statistics such as visitor numbers,
page views, referring urls and even which operating system viewers
are using to view your site and how they reached it. |
