Web Design

In order to make you site live on the world wide web, you will need to engage the services of a web hosting company. Web hosting companies run the computers that are fully connected to the web, and that your website reside on. Then when someone types in your domain name ‘www.yourdomain.com’, the browser will send an instant request to your web hosting computers for your particular website files and then display them on the screen.

Web hosting is a fiercely competitive business in Dublin, so our advice would be to try to find the best quality hosting company rather than the cheapest.  Having said that, most modern hosting companies are relatively reliable and should provide somewhere in the region of 99.99% uptime for your website. Web design companies and even freelance designers will often have ‘reseller’ hosting of their own, which they will offer as part of an overall package to you. This will usually be the best option, because it saves you the hassle of trying to organize the different parties and getting them to communicate with each other. And in the event that anything does go wrong with your website, you have one point of contact to go to for resolution, rather than having the different parties blaming each other for the problem.
