If you decide you want a specific Domain Name for your web site such as 'www.yourname.co.uk'
etc. (rather than 'yourname.scotbiz.net') then you require to register your
chosen domain name, and also arrange hosting. We can help you with this if
required, or do it on your behalf.
Once you have a Domain Name and hosting arranged, we can do the web site design
work for you, and transfer it over to your site.
If you want a website design that will allow you to edit the information yourself
(with a little skill and the correct software!) then we can keep the design
simple to allow you to do this. Just let us know.
You can check if the Domain Name you want is available below.
Registering a Domain Name costs around £10 per year, although his varies
slightly dependent on whether you go for a .com, .co.uk, .net (etc.) domain.
Here is a short summary of the advantages and disadvantages of of each option:
A scotbiz.net site is cheaper - around half the price or less.
By purchasing our web space in bulk, we get the best service that our provider
has to offer. BNS can then pass these savings on to you, while still providing
an excellent service.
BNS have full administrative control over the scotbiz.net site, so changes
and fixes can be carried out quickly.
Finding your own domain name, which accurately reflects your
type of business can be very difficult, since most are already registered.
This is why you often see some very 'creative' web site names!
This is not usually an issue with a scotbiz.net web site.
Setting up things like e-mail for your own domain name can be difficult, unless you are familiar with the system. On a scotbiz.net site, we will setup your e-mail addresses for you, and can usually provide guidance on setting up your computer mail program.
A scotbiz.net site includes technical support, so in the unlikely event that you have a problem, just give us a call, and we will sort it out.
Call us or drop us an e-mail to discuss your requirements.

It is possible for you to have your own domain name, and still
have your site hosted by BNS. This gives the advantage of cost, and still
allows us to do the administration of your site, but your customers see your
own domain name, rather than a scotbiz.net name. (not that we think that's
a bad thing of course!)
Please call us for more information.
