Small web designer
Hi
I am graphic designer who has, through necessity, been dragged kicking and screaming into the world of web design. I use Dreamweaver CS3 and Flash CS3 mainly. I have yet to subject myself the the misery of learning database driven sites but sadly accept that I shall have to learn to do it at some point.
At present I have about 25 sites I host in the UK.
On your intro you seem to be targeting people who just want to host their own sites whereas I need to host lots of sites some with multiple POP3 boxes (rarely more than three per domain). For my own work I also have an ftp server which is accessible from my own website and is hosted in the same place. Your price seems very cheap in comparison with what I am paying at present, but obviously with paying clients websites in my hands which are a vital part of their businesses I have to be very careful where I place them. I need to have full control over the sites and e-mail boxes I host.
I was recommended to you by Trevor Toms of Printsetters who is positively evangelical about your services, but he only has one site and isn't a web designer.
Are your servers Linux or Microsnot based? My current hosts are Linux based, but I have no preference except that I understand that using a microsnot based system is easier if you are learning the data base stuff from scratch especially if you're not good atr programming stuff. I'm artistic not a number cruncher.
Sorry to make this such a long series of questions but I am sure you will understand with other businesses in my hands I have to be uber careful with them. If this package isn't suitable for my needs do you have a package more tailored to small town web designers?
Kind regards
