Web Hosting Costs
Cornish WebServices only setup hosting for clients of our website design and marketing work, and the hosting costs are included within the quotation. The ongoing costs of annual hosting are included within any maintenance contract. This includes making updates and changes to email accounts if required. We do not use hosting as a means of generating extra profits.
Typical costs would be around £50-£150 per year for a small business website. These figures may be higher for Windows servers. Annual costs may be larger for regular database backups (if appropriate) or extra requirements such as very large storage or secure servers.
Web hosting services by Cornish WebServices
Cornish WebServices can, if required, provide suitable web hosting services for clients using our website design or marketing services. We will either use our our own dedicated server (maintained by a 3rd party hosting company or use our experience to select a good quality and value for money hosting company. This choice is partly governed by the size and no. of visitors to the website, although the web host we usually use can cater well with very large and high volume websites.
All hosting includes good web statistics, full scripting and database facilities and multiple email accounts. Our business is Internet Marketing and website design. We do not make money from client hosting, but provide this as a service (it is often quicker for us to use our dedicated server than sort out problems on client hosts).
We are also happy to work with any existing host a client has, provided this can provide the required level of service. Although we prefer to work with unix servers, especially for database driven websites, we do not insist on this and are able to work with other types, such as Windows servers.
