Services for accommodation-providers and travellers

Our website hosting package:

To get your website on the internet you need a Web Host - a company that provides space on a server they own or rent, typically in a data centre. We provide such a service on a reliable and proven server called Phil in a data centre in Aylesbury.

When choosing a Web Host, novices should beware because there may be many hidden catches or expenses even if described as free or inexpensive such as:

• inability to contact the Web Host
• inability to navigate your account on the Web Host's site
• charges for uploading changes to your website
• difficulty with and expenses associated with moving your website to another Web Host
• the domain name may not get registered in your name and you won't own it

There are hidden dangers also with using the ‘free’ space given to you by your ISP (Internet Service Provider):

• if you change provider you will lose your ‘domain name’ (it's not really a proper domain) and you'll lose your site's search engine ranking when you switch to another provider
• if your ISP gets taken over by another Company you may find difficulty accessing your account
• there may be limits on the amount you can upload

With our service, the domain name and web hosting costs are bundled in to the quoted price. There are no hidden extras. We look after and maintain the site for you. In the unlikely event that you are unhappy with our service you can take your domain name away to another provider without any obstacle or charge. (Nobody has taken their domain away to-date.)

But simply getting your website hosted and live on the internet on its own won't be enough to bring customers to your accommodation: you need your website to work for you - it needs to get found in the search engines.
