progress once its complete we will then upload to your
web space. The site may take 24-48 hours to show on the
WWW as the servers will need to refresh in order to pick
up the new domain. If the domain already exists this will
not be an issue.

web site hosting. We can also send you a backup of the

What
is a domain name?
A domain name is something that is used to identify a
piece of web space that houses a web site. In reality
that web space is identified by a set of numbers like
242.89.67.87 (an IP Address) - but as humans are less
likely to forget words a name is "attached"
to those numbers and is unique to that web space.
Do I have
to have a business to get one?
No. Anyone anywhere can purchase a domain name and pretty
much use it for whatever they like providing they are
not infringing someone else's copyright or trademark.
What domains
do you sell?
We deal with the main domains - .co.uk, .com, .net, .org,
.info, .biz, .name
How
much are they and are there any hidden fees?
..co.uk are £10 for two years registration and .com,
.net and .org .info and .biz cost £25 for two years.
Once you have made that payment the domain is yours and
there are no other costs involved at all.
Once
I buy the domain is it always mine?
The domain is yours for as long as you registered it.
Providing you renew the name there is no reason why you
shouldn't own it for as long as you wish.
What
if I want the site hosted by someone else in the future?
Just let us know the host's details and we will do this
within 24 hours free of charge. Normally a hosting company
will tell you exactly what details you need to give us.

What is web hosting and why do I need
it?
When you type in a domain name you generally then see
a set of pages making up a web site. Originally these
pages would have been constructed on a computers' hard
drive. Once their creator is happy with the site he then
needs a computer that is continually connected to the
Internet so that anyone from anywhere can see the site
at any time. This is the web space and the site is hosted
on that computer. We provide that web space so you can
"publish" your web site for all the world to
see!
How
much does it cost and are there any hidden fees?
All our packages
come with 1 years website hosting FREE - £99 per
annum thereafter. There are no other fees to pay.
Does
your hosting carry your banners or adverts on my web pages?
No, none whatsoever - when you buy hosting hosting from
Template Portfolios that web space will only show whatever
you put there.
What
if I have a domain name I bought elsewhere and want hosting
from template portfolios?
No problem, place your order and we will contact you right
away with instructions on how to move the domain from
your current host or domain holder.
What
if I already have a website host and want to continue
using it?
Thats fine, we willl upload the site to your chosen host.
For the site to work correctly the server will need to
support MySql and PHP 4.3 scripting for e-forms,
e-cards and other scripting to work. Please comfirm
with your host before you proceed.
What if I already have a website host
but would like template portfolios to host the new site?
No problem, we will make all the arrangements to re-direct
the domain to our servers. You are advised to check before
hand as some website / domian hosting companies charge
to transfer domains. Also your email may be out of action
while the domain is being transferred.
How
much web space do I get and what is a MB?
A MB is a megabyte which is a measure of computer space.
You get 1000MB (1 GB) of web space with all our packages.
What
is FTP?
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and is something
novice webmasters sometimes struggle with in the beginning.
FTP allows the transfer of your web pages and images from
your computer to your web space. There is help in the
members section and we do not mind at all talking you
through this over the phone.
What
is a POP box?
This allows you greater control over email - you can have
several POP boxes set to deliver mail to individuals -
which allows for privacy and automatic distribution of
mail to whoever it is intended to be delivered to.
What
is Adobe Photoshop?
Adobe Photoshop is hands down, the most popular
program for creating and modifying images for the web.
Its also used widely within the photography industry to
retouch and edit photographs. Click here
