Hosting > The Best Package for You

A complete survey of your options

With common-sense guidance

Work out what you actually need

1

You will need a domain name

Every site on the Web has to have a unique domain name.

If you are not sure what a domain name is, or why you need one, you will find the answers to all your questions in a section of our domain registration page.

Make sure to come back here to consider the other things you need!

2

You will need a hosting plan

If you’re in the dark

All responsible hosting companies (including Web Costa Blanca) will allow you to change plans if your first guess is wrong and you need more space than you thought you would, or get more visitors than you thought you would.

So, if you can’t at this point manage more than a guess, plump for a plan like our Basic Plan and see how things work out.

If you have some idea of how many pages you’re going to need and how many visitors you are likely to have

Try our ‘Handy Calculations’ belowin the sidebar.

You may need additional services

A website built / rebuilt

For design, copywriting, coding, etc., check our own qualifications, in our ‘Services’ section.

And/or browse the pros and cons of doing the job yourself, on my personal wesbite

And/or Google “find a web designer near me”.

A marketing strategy

Search engine optimisation is not just about selling a product. Every website can benefit from a plan to make sure that its message reaches the people you—the website owner—want to reach.

Check what we have to say on this topic.

And/or Google “search engine optimisation”. (Good luck sorting through the results!)

4

You may need your site maintained

Few websites are both finished and complete when they first go online.

As most resposible Web companies do, Web Costa Blanca allows up to a month after a website launch for immediate necessary changes and additions. After that you will need to think about the longer term.

If you’re happy on your own

You may be able to handle updates and alterations yourself—and you will have access to your own FTP facility and your own control panel to do so. (You will need an FTP app on your own device(s)—but these are easy to get hold of, and many good ones are free.)

If you want a professional service

Web Costa Blanca offers annual webmaster services both to sites created by me and to sites created by others. You can relax, and get me to do everything necessary.

5

What about prices?

Be wary of web companies that offer you “first year” prices.

Always check what the price is going to be from year 2 on, once they have caught you.
