Maintenance
Why do I need to maintain my site?
 
Most sites need to be updated on a regular basis.  You may want some of the text changed when it is no longer accurate, or more up-to-date photographs incorporated. 

Your site will also rank better on the search engines if the content is updated from time to time. 
What will it cost to maintain my site?
You have two options to maintain your site:
 
  • Fixed cost at a monthly fee
  • Variable rate.  Pay an hourly rate (£50/hour) when you need updates
You'll normally find that the fixed cost deal represents the most cost-effective way of maintaining your site because most web sites require constant updates to text and graphics.

For a single low monthly fee we'll provide unlimited updates to your site.  You can request changes vie Email or telephone and we'll usually be able to action them the same day.  You can review monthly hosting and maintenance charges for all plans here.
Can I have you maintain my web site even though it is hosted elsewhere?
No.  We can only offer maintenance packages to clients who also use our hosting service.
Web hosting after the free period
All of our package deals come with 6 months free hosting.

When the free period is over you'll need to pay a small monthly fee to cover the upkeep and bandwidth used by our servers.  You can review monthly hosting and maintenance charges for all plans here.
What will it cost me to keep the site up and running when the free period is over?
More information about our web hosting services and a total cost of ownership of your web site after the free period ends can be found here...
