Web Hosting and Domain Names

Many people are confused by the difference between web design and web hosting.

Hosting

This is the space your web site occupies on the world wide web. You can organise your own hosting or we can host your site for you. This is completely up to each person or company to decide what is best for them and we will be happy to explain the finer details and help you decide the best option for you. Hosting does incur a yearly charge.

Domain Name

To Have a site you must purchase a domain name eg bigpushdesign.com

We will be happy to organise and help you with your choice of name if you wish. As they are non an expensive item to purchase many people buy various domain names and point them to the one site. There are many extensions available as in .me .co. .org .tv. but the two most common are .com & .ie

.com is sold on a first come basis but there are rules governing the purchase of a .ie domain name as one must prove that you are entitled to register a particular name.
