All customers receive a package that is tailored to their exact needs, whether this is for hosting only or for a fully developed ready to go web site. You can start small and grow, but you only pay for what you really need and not for options you will never use. We will lead you through the process in an all inclusive package, you do not need any knowledge of the Internet to get your site on line and working. But why should you pay when there are free web hosting sites, well read on.

The Truth About Free Web Hosting

Good free web hosting services are hard to find! There are many free services from the ones that are provided by your ISP to the ones funded by advertising. Nothing is really free, if you opt for one of the free services you may pay for this by carrying thier advertising on your site. In addition with a free service you are unlikely to get any resonable level of support, especially for problems that relate to your web pages rather than the basic technical operation of the site.

You Get What You Pay For

Many internet users assume free web hosting is the ideal way to build a first site, but quickly learn that free hosts rarely offer much-needed assistance and support to non-paying customers. This can be a particular problem for new web sites when you are learning how to develop them, you are far more likely to need help with developing your web pages or customising your site, than you will need pure technical support for the hosting.

Great Low Cost Hosting Alternative

Save yourself the stress and hassle of free hosts -- choose an affordable paid host and get the service you deserve. Lakes Telecommunications provides a fully supported hosting service to all customers, with add on packages to create pages or support page development.

What extra do I get if I pay?

If you have free hosting then you will be provided with web space and a user name and password, beyond that you are normally on your own. Even if you are able to get some support this will take time and rarely will you get any support for your own programming, if you can it may well be through expensive premium phone lines. Bear in mind that much of the effort in preparing a site goes into the web pages preparation and not into the web hosting as such. Once you have made the decision to pay for hosting then check what you will get for your money, what facilities will you get. Beware that many cheap options limit what you are able to do on your website, perhaps not a problem for simple sites but it could become a major problem if you wish to add automated features in the future.

How do I order?

This is the easy part, if you know what you want or have some idea of what you want then go to the orders page and complete as much of that as you can. If you have no idea how to start then just click on the Contacts Menu Item to the left of this page, enter your e-mail address and send off the contact message and we will take it from there.
