Web hosting is a product that enables Internet users to view your web site over the World Wide Web.
It’s like paying rent for your site to be sitting on a server which is connected to the Internet 24 hours a day.

Without web site hosting, your web site cannot be seen by your targeted audience.

If you don’t have a domain name yet, we can also take the hassle out of registering your company domain name by doing it for you.

Put simply, a domain name is your company’s internet address. Like a company or business name, your internet address needs to be registered to ensure ownership and prevent duplication. It is use for World Wide Web and e-mail addressing, as well as for internet system management.

We can help you choose, register, maintain and delegate your company’s domain name, leaving you free to deal with core business instead of red tape.
