Web Hosting & Domain Names

 

Domain Names

As a member of Nominet - the UK domain naming authority - we are able to register all top level UK domains, on your behalf, for just £9 (inc vat). These are co.uk, me.uk and org.uk suffixed domains.

The standard £9 fee covers registration for two years. You are free to move the domain to another host, at any time, without being charged. If you remain happy with the service you pay £9 every two years for renewal. If you want us to point the name to another pair of servers - outside our hosting package - we levy a £10 per year administration charge.

We can also register .com , .biz and .tv names for you, registration for these starts at £15 inc vat ( a .com for 12 months). Contact us for more details.

If you wish to use the domain name for email or to display a web site, you will also need a hosting package.


Web Hosting

We offer a complete Linux-based hosting service for:

Individuals, hobby sites, & charities @ £39 (inc vat) per year.
(2GB Traffic per month, 250MB Web Space, 5 Mailboxes)

Small companies & heavy-use individual users @ £69 inc VAT per year.
(6GB Traffic per month, 500MB Web Space, 15 Mailboxes, 1 subdomain, 1 database)
Secure server & certificate - for a secure online shop - is £100 per year

Larger companies (20+ email accounts) @ £200+VAT per year.
(20GB Traffic per month, 1GB Web Space, 20+ Mailboxes, 3 subdomains, 3 databases)

If you exceed a limit, your website still remains fully operational - these are just notional figures we use to share out each servers resources more equitably - we'd just charge more at the next renewal.

These packages include;
BUTTON 250MB+ of web space (this whole site uses 9MB).
BUTTON FTP access to your account (upload new content whenever you wish).
BUTTON Email - Mailbox, Redirects, Auto-responders available.
BUTTON CGI scripting (upload your own scripts for mailing forms etc).
BUTTON PHP scripting, Perl 5, Frontpage 2000 extensions and MySql database support.
BUTTON Unlimited telephone & email support from a friendly human being.


You are able to control all aspects of the domain via the PLESK control panel.


BUTTON You can change passwords
BUTTON Add new email accounts
BUTTON Redirect email to another email account
BUTTON And everything else in the image above
All from a web browser on any machine - making you almost self sufficient.

The package also includes a comprehensive web stats package, so you can see who's visiting you / how often, and what they look at. For an example of this in action check out leek online webstats.

In addition, you get Horde web-based email. Just like Microsoft's Hotmail, it can be used at any PC with an internet connection by entering 'webmail.yourdomain.co.uk'.

If you already own a co.uk or org.uk domain you can easily move it to our companies tag - for parking or hosting. To transfer: simply ask your current host (or Nominet) to change the IPS-Tag to TRCOMPUTERS. When this is done we'll be able to control which server your name points to. You can expect to be up and running again within a couple of hours of the IPS-Tag being changed.

We're also able to host .com .biz .tv .eu & .net domain names that you already own. Just get your current provider to point to our coolnames servers or change them yourself if they provide a control panel. Our name server records are:

NS1.COOLNAMES.CO.UK and NS2.COOLNAMES.CO.UK

When we've finished setting up your domain name on our servers you'll receive an email detailing all login & password details (for FTP, Email & the Control Panel).

To upload your site you'll need an FTP software package: Filezilla is an open-source(FREE) FTP package.

If you haven't already designed the site, and fancy having a go at doing it yourself, we would recommend you give NVU a try. It's an open source, multi platform, web site development tool, that's FREE.

Once your site is up & running, you should register it with Google & Bing & Dmoz.org search engines - as it's FREE. You can learn about generating a free Google sitemap here and download a sitemap generator here - it should help you get listed higher in Google's rankings. You can also setup pay-per-click advertising with Google using Adwords - this targets keywords potential customers might use when searching for your service. If you need help optimizing your site for Google, we'd be happy to help - we charge £35 per hour for this service.

We maintain two separate servers hosted by different companies - they both run Linux. We use them for hosting our own company websites - trcomputers.com , trcomputers.co.uk & spystore.co.uk - such is our confidence in them. In the VERY unlikely event that one server suffered a major outage we can move you to the other server quickly.

Any domains found parked on our IPS-Tag, without prior permission, may be clamped and towed away!
