Website Hosting

INTRODUCTION

Let us first explain to you the difference between a 'DIAL-UP ACCOUNT' and a 'HOSTING ACCOUNT'

An ISP for a DIAL-UP Account, will give you access to the Internet, and access to e-mail and, depending on the package you bought, some providers include anywhere from 1 - 10 Mb of 'storage space' for a website. However, most of these URLs will look like: http://www.isp.com/~yourID/

If you prefer to have your URL look like: http://www.yourcompany.com/, then you must get a Registered Domain Name (DNS) PLUS you must pay an additional amount every month for the privilige of getting it 'hosted' i.e. the ISP server configured to your DNS.
The costs to host your DNS website, is IN ADDITION to the cost of your dial-up account.

Total Design Creations has made arrangements with one of the largest Hosting Server ISPs, to provide Hosting Services to our customers for their website at very competitive rates. Your URL may be: http://www.yourcompany.com/, as long as you have a DNS.

If you don't, we can arrange for Registration of a new DNS at no extra charge.

If you don't want a DNS, and you don't like what your ISP is giving you, you could get a local URL: http://www.total-design.net/your ID/ .The only constraint is that the name 'your ID' must be available.

We have exceptionally good deals on COMMERCIAL SITES for SMALL BUSINESSES.

All our packages include e-mail addresses and accept FrontPage and Cold Fusion, FTP access, cgi-bin, Perl5,USP power back-up, daily tape back-ups, unlimited hits.
