Website design and hosting service

SideStoke home

Web Sites
We can register a domain name for you, design a web site, and provide hosting for the site.
These are independent web sites, not part of  SideStoke.
Domain names
If your name is Joe Blow we can attempt to register the domain name  joeblow.com so that you will have a website with the address    http://www.joeblow.com
If the domain name joeblow.com  is not available, or if you do not like it, we can try  joeblow.com.au, or maybe joeblowpottery.com  or whatever appeals to you and is available.
Once registered, the domain name can provide a permanent web site address, regardless of who writes or hosts your site.
Email address
If you are connected to the internet then you probably use an email address like arosser@bigpond.com
made available to you by your internet service provider. Unfortunately, if you change internet service providers you will probably lose this email address.
By registering a domain name and setting up a web page you can  have an email address like    joe@joeblow.com which will stay with you  permanently.
Designing the web site
For a  charge of  AU$350 we can design a web site in line with your preferences,  and provide hosting for it so that it is available on the  World Wide Web. You will have to supply images, text, and any logos that you might wish to use. Resizing and basic massaging of the images is covered in the design charge.
Even if you want to use a different hosting service for your web site, we can write  the pages for you.
Maintenance
A web site frequently needs to be changed to display new work, update a CV, remove images of sold work, or whatever.Our annual fee for looking after the changes and  renewing the domain name registration is AU$140. This fee will be  indexed for inflation, and will  cover the annual registration fees for domain names such as joeblow.com There will be an additonal charge for annual registration of the more expensive domain names such as joeblow.com.au There is no maintenance fee for the first year of the web site.
Other possibilities
Setting up and hosting of existing web site, with maintenance or hosting only. Enquire for fees.
