Every Web site you see on
the Internet is stored on a special computer called a
Web server, these servers must be connected to the Internet
twenty-four hours a day. A Web server has one job in life,
to broadcast the Web pages it stores to Web users looking
for that particular site. You can run your own Web server
if you wish but running your own Web server can be a costly
and time consuming business which requires specialist
IT skills. The easiest and most cost effective way for
your company to have a Web site on the Internet is to
have your site "hosted" for you by a dedicated
hosting company.
We have partnered with one of the largest Internet
hosting companies in Europe to bring you a range of
Web hosting solutions suitable for all sizes of business.
The range of services we can offer you are as follows:
Web Hosting
We can host your site on the latest Windows or Linux
Web servers with a service plan tailored to meet the
needs of different businesses.
Standard
Your Web site will be hosted on a Windows 2000 Dual
Pentium Processor server with 1 GB of memory. This option
is recommended for most sites which do not require the
additional performance of Premier Site service.
Premier Site - Silver
The Premier Site package offers additional speed and
performance for mission critical sites. Premier Site
servers have more processing power and memory than standard
servers, making them ideal for busy e-commerce sites
or sites which have a large amount of dynamic content.
Premier Site - Gold
Premier Site Gold includes all the features of Premier
Site Silver, but has ten times as much processing power
and memory available to your Web site - guaranteed.
Matrix Stats
As an option to any of the hosting solutions above you
can select our Matrix Stats service. With Matrix Stats
you can view both real-time and historical information
about the visitors to your web site. This service puts
you in control of your on-line presence so that you
can make sure your site is really working for you.
Domain Registration
A domain name is a unique address on the Internet, which
holds information and services, tecnetsolutions.co.uk
is our domain name. It can be thought of as your address
on the Internet. A domain name will provide your business
with many facilities. It can give you personalised e-mail
addresses (you@yourdomainname.co.uk), a personal Web
site (www.yourdomainname.co.uk), allowing you to take
advantage of all the Web has to offer, including advertising,
e-commerce and lots more.
You cannot buy a domain, you can only register a domain
name. A few authorised companies around the world have
taken the job of delegating domains names for use. The
process of acquiring the use of a domain name is called
‘registering’ a domain. Tecnet Solutions uses
a number of these authorised companies (known as ‘registrars’)
to register domain names on your behalf. Although we
register the domain on your behalf they are by default
registered in your name, this allows you to move the
domain to another hosting company at any time if you
wish.
E-mail Solutions
We offer WebMail, Mail Forwarding, Auto Responders and
POP mail solutions for as many mailboxes as you need
in our standard package.
WebMail allows you to check your e-mail from any Web
browser anywhere in the world. Mail Forwarding redirects
all e-mails sent to your mailbox to any other address
you specify. You can also retrieve your mail from any
e-mail client (i.e. Outlook Express, Eudora) using our
POP3 service. Auto Responders generate an automated
e-mail response when mail is received in any mailbox.
The text in the message can be whatever you wish and
can be changed at any time. This is a very useful feature
for automatically replying to enquiries or for holiday
or out of office messages.
Virus Scanning
Viruses sent by e-mail are sadly becoming more common
each day. To protect your business from this threat
we can provide automatic virus scanning of all e-mail
sent to your domain name. The virus scanning operates
on the border of the network and all incoming messages
are checked before they reach your inbox giving you
peace of mind.
E-commerce Solutions
Narrow definitions of e-commerce focus on the buying
and selling of goods or services over electronic networks,
such as the Internet. This might be between businesses,
known as B2B or consumers, B2C. While the sale is transacted
electronically the ultimate delivery of the goods or
service may be conducted on or off-line.
If your business is ready to take the step to on-line
trading we can provide e-commerce solutions in conjunction
with our hosing packages.
