Internet and Intranet Hosting
Whether we've designed your web site or you've done it yourself, you are going to
need somewhere to host it. We have several web hosting options available, depending
on your websites' requirements.
Web Hosting
To make the site accessible anywhere in the world, it is necessary to hire space
on a computer (a server) which has a permanent connection to the internet. This
is called hosting. Hosting is also needed to provide a location for your computer
to go when you type in a domain name. All hosting packages are located on our dedicated
servers housed in a physically secure environment with high speed network access.
They all benefit from full 24/7 server monitoring and advanced UPS management. Our
backbone provider includes full redundancy and massive throughput. You can be assured
your web pages will be delivered to your visitors at top speed.

Email Hosting
With a domain name and hosting, it is possible to forward any e-mail sent to an
address at your domain, such as 'info@yourcompanyname.com', to an existing e-mail
account. This means that instead of customers having to remember a long and unprofessional-looking
e-mail address, such as 'a.person@username.freeserviceprovider.com', they can just
remember your domain name. The fact that e-mail is forwarded automatically also
means that you have the freedom to change your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as
often as you wish without having to worry about changing your e-mail addresses on
printed media and so forth. All we need to know is the real e-mail address where
the mail is to be forwarded. We offer a variety of ways to check your email.
You can use our free web-mail interface where you check your email through a standard
web browser. You can also setup your email account in your favorite email
program or on your cell phone if you wish.Lets Get Started
Domain Names
A domain name is the address that you type into your browser's address or location
bar when you wish to visit a particular site. For example, our domain name is 'www.apercuteam.com'.
A domain name is very important for every commercial organisation's website. Internet
addresses are complicated at best, and if you don't have a domain name, then customers
will never find you. A potential customer is far more likely to remember 'www.yourcompanyname.com'
than 'www.freeprovider.com/username/userdirectory/index.htm'. They also look far
more professional. Domain names also allow you to have professional-looking e-mail
addresses, such as 'fred@yourcompanyname.com', through the use of e-mail forwarding.
If you do not already own your own domain name we will help you select one and purchase
it. We will then maintain your domain name for you so you never have to worry
about the settings and renewals on it.Lets Get Started
Intranet Hosting
There are times you will want to host information on the Internet that is not a
public website. You may have an application you use in the office that stores client
contact information and project management. This is probably a great tool for your
business but what about when your on the road? Now you can't get to that information!
That is when you want to host an intranet application on the Internet. On a secured
server we setup your program or a portal to it so you can access all the functionality
of your office while away from your desk.Lets Get Started
