Hosting for Your Business Website

To keep your new website in good working order and up-to-date we can provide fully-managed hosting for it. For UK businesses, sites are hosted on UK servers (an important point for Google and the other search engines). This is an all-inclusive hosting package that covers maintenance, updates to existing material on your website, business email addresses and ongoing email support for any website queries you may have during the year.

Our all-inclusive hosting package covers:

Hosting on UK servers;
Free transfer to our servers;
Linux hosting with full support for scripts;
Up to six business email addresses;
Email forwarding;
Control panel to manage email accounts & to access stats, etc.;
Your own FTP access, should you need it;
Site maintenance by the Web Design Cottage;
Updates by us of existing text and photos throughout the year;
Friendly and helpful email support.

Free transfers

At no extra charge we will handle transfers to the new hosting account. This can be done so that there is no downtime and no adverse effect on either your Google ranking or your incoming links.

We will install an .htaccess file to redirect old links to newly created pages so that none of the old links will become redundant. We can also submit a sitemap to Google to improve the listing of the new pages.
