AS I OFTEN GET REQUESTS TO EXPLAIN THE PROCESS OF GETTING ONE’S WEBSITE UP AND RUNNING, I THOUGHT IT BEST TO TRY AND SUMMARIZE IT HERE FOR CLIENTS. BELOW PLEASE FIND A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE STEPS TO BE FOLLOWED.
an explanatory video is available here: http://youtu.be/K5-cmTSQu5g
- CHOOSE A DOMAIN NAME (WHATEVER.CO.ZA)
- GO TO http://co.za/whois.shtml AND ENTER YOUR CHOICE IN THE SEARCH FIELD, AND SEE IF THE NAME IS AVAILABLE. IF IT IS AVAILABLE, THE RESULTS SHOULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS :
3. YOU THEN CONTACT US ON 0357721480 or brettp@neotek.co.za AND TEL US WHAT DOMAIN NAME YOU HAVE CHOSEN. WE THEN APPLY FOR THAT DOMAIN NAME. THIS COMES AT A ONCE OFF COST OF R100 AND THEN AN ANNUAL RENEWAL OF R100. THESE FUNDS WE PAY ACROSS TO THE REGISTRAR.
4. YOU THEN TELL US IF YOU WOULD LIKE A PARKED DOMAIN ( EMAILS ONLY EG: INFO@WHATEVER.CO.ZA ) OR A WEBSITE.
5. THE COSTING MONTHLY FOR US HOSTING YOUR WEBSITE IS AS PER THE BELOW PRICING STRUCTURE. THE FIRST 2 ARE EMAIL ONLY (OR A BASIC HTML PAGE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW WHAT THIS IS), BUT FULL BLOWN WEBSITES WITH A DATABASE START AT R99PM (BASIC)
| BASIC | STANDARD | ADVANCED | MASTER |
|---|---|---|---|
| R 99 pm | R 149 pm | R 279 pm | R 439 pm |
| 5 GB SSD storage | 10 GB SSD storage | 15 GB SSD storage | 20 GB SSD storage |
| 100 mailboxes | 250 mailboxes | 500 mailboxes | 1000 mailboxes |
6. THE DESIGN OF THE WEBSITE RUNS ANYTHING FROM R2500 UP TO ABOUT R30000 DEPENDING ON THE CONTENT. WHAT WE NEED IN ORDER TO QUOTE YOU, IS AN EXAMPLE OF A WEBSITE THAT YOU LIKE AND WOULD LIKE TO MIMIC (HEY HAVE A LOOK AT WHATCHAMACALLIT.CO.ZA , I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A SIMILAR WEBSITE LAYOUT) OR ELSE SEND US A LIST OF THE CONTENT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE AND WE SHALL TRY AND QUOTE FROM THAT. A FACE TO FACE MEETING IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING TO GET MORE PRECISE QUOTES. THIS IS A ONCE OFF COST.
I NORMALLY SUGGEST TO PEOPLE THAT WE DO A BASIC TEMPLATE FOR R3000 + VAT UP FRONT AND THEN YOU GIVE US THE ALTERATIONS ON A PAY FOR TIME BASIS.
