Web Hosting Service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own or lease for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center.
Make It Design evaluates the requirements of the application to choose what kind of hosting to use. Such considerations include database server software, scripting software, and operating system. Our providers provide Linux-based web hosting which offers a wide range of different software. The web hosting client may want to have other services, such as email for their business domain, databases or multi-media services for streaming media.
Website hosting can vary according the type of website the client wants. Hosting starts at R100 per month.
Domain Registration
It is one thing to have a hosting server to host your website files to enable you to show your website to the whole world, but without a unique address the world will never see your website. Make It Design offers domain registration. Domains are defined as www.yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.co.za. Make It Design will provide the client with the correct extension but the prerogative lies with the client to choose a extension (.com, .co.za, .info, .co etc.) of his/her choice.
Extensions that can be used are:
- .co.za (South Africa)
- .com (International
- .co (International)
- .org (International Organization)
- .org.za (South African Organization)
- .net
- .us (United States)
- .biz (Business)
- .info (Information)
- .me
The cost for domain registrations are charged annually and can vary according to the extension choice. E.g. .co.za domains costs R50 per annum, while a .com domain costs R80 per annum.
Make It Design provide Web Hosting and Domain Registration as part of the client's general Internet access plan, but we do not force our client's to make use of our Web Hosting service.
