Let's take a step-by-step approach to all the things you require for an online presence.
There are 4 major steps:
1. Domain name
This is your name on the internet. For example, calti.co.uk is ours.
Domain name prices vary greatly from registrar to registrar. We bought enough domains in the past 3 years to know the cheapest and most reliable places.
| Domains | 1yr | 2yrs |
| .co.uk | £3.49 | £6.99 |
| .org.uk | £3.49 | £6.99 |
| .com | £5.49 | £10.99 |
| .net | £5.49 | £10.99 |
| .org | £5.49 | £10.99 |
| .biz | £4.49 | £9.99 |
| .info | £4.49 | £9.99 |
| .eu | £17.99 | £35.99 |
Please note that most domain names (except the .uk ones) can be bought for periods up to 10 years.
It's not only the price, but also support and the peace of mind that your domain name is in good hands. You wouldn't want to buy a good domain name just to discover that you've lost it due to whatever reason.
2. Web space
This is a very important aspect. It will be your online home for who knows how many years. If you don't choose a reliable and trustworthy hosting provider, you could find yourself in some rather unpleasant situations further down the line.
Your website might get sluggish and thus frustrate visitors and drive potential buyers off. It can become inaccessible for indefinite periods of time, or, even worse, you could lose your website and correspondence in a blink of an eye.
All servers we own are in a one of the best UK data-centres, in London, with top-class connectivity and state-of-the-art reliability. Because we have moved all our hosting hardware to the UK, your website/s will be even quicker than before and it will rank better in Google UK. Since running costs are higher in the UK than the US, we had to re-adjust the prices accordingly.
| Hosting | Sunrise | Sunset | Nightfall |
| Web space | 100MB | 500MB | 1,000MB |
| Monthly bandwidth | |||
| Monthly price | £2.49 | £4.99 | £8.99 |
| Yearly price | £24.90 | £49.90 | £89.90 |
Everything else (subdomains, MySQL databases, POP3 & IMAP mail accounts, mail forwarders etc.) are unlimited.
Please note that on the above accounts a single website is allowed.
All websites can be administrated through cPanel, one of the most popular control panels.
All websites we host are on servers with the following specifications:
- Intel Core 2 Duo Quad 2.4Ghz, 16GB Registered ECC RAM
- Fully redundant SAN storage
- CentOS 4.6 Exterprise operating system
All websites are backed-up nightly so even if something goes wrong with the server - just in case scenario - an exact copy of your website (that includes e-mails as well) can be put back online within minutes.
3. A website design
All our websites are XHTML (Strict or Transitional) styled with CSS 2, designed around web standards and WAI compliant.
We hand-code everything by attentively assembling the visual elements with the back-end code (PHP & MySQL) and front-end code (JavaScript / AJAX) to create websites every client desires.
4. Code that makes things work
So far, we used PHP & MySQL for our development work, but lately started looking into Ruby on Rails. Although we will keep doing PHP websites for a good while to come, our focus is slowly shifting towards Rails. It's a far more productive approach that saves us time and the client - meaning you - money.
