Domain Names & Hosting

Domain Names

The first step for any business on the Internet is to secure a domain name. A domain name is your digital identity, for both your website address and your e-mail address, so choosing the right name is important.

In order to provide a high quality of service for domain name registrations, 3 Legs Ltd has set up a specialist division called "Domains & Hosting". We deal directly with UK, US and Manx registrars. This means that no other company is involved in registering and re-registering your domain name. As a result we have full administrative control of your name and do not need to rely on a third party.

Name Type	Registration Period	Price
.co.uk/.me.uk	(2 Years)	£24.00 ex VAT
.com/.net/.org	(1 Year)	£24.00 ex VAT
.biz/.info/.name	(1 Year)	£24.00 ex VAT
.im	(1 Year)	£48.00 ex VAT
.eu	(1 Year)	£36.00 ex VAT

Domain Names need to be renewed 30 days prior to the expiry date of the 
registration period. Failure to do so may result in the loss of that name.

Domain names are sold as name only registrations. You will require either a hosting solution or our DNS Plus service to make active use of any domain name.

Terms and Conditions
In addition to our terms and conditions, http://www.3Legs.com/terms.html, domain names are also subject to the terms and conditions of the administrating registrar. For details please see the links below.

Shared Server Hosting

Our shared server hosting packages are ideal for the first time user or businesses looking to host a simple website. These are pure hosting solutions with no virus or spam email filtering delaying or interrupting delivery.

Using our reliable Linux based web servers you can get your website online at reasonable cost. Our hosting solutions are available in either standard or advanced packages. Each package has a number of POP3* e-mail accounts, each account can have a number of e-mail aliases.

These solutions are aimed at those people looking to host a simple business website. If you intend to install software that requires scripting services such as CGI, PHP, ASP etc.. then these solutions are not suitable. For those looking for a shopping cart then we can provide our web based shopping cart solution. For more information on this service please click here.

Hosting Notes
The above hosting packages are provided on a shared hosting basis. This means that many websites share the same server. We advise anybody who purchase one of these hosting packages to keep a backup of there website on there own computer. These servers are located in UK data houses for the best connectivity availability. While we endeavour to maintain a continuous service, hardware failures will cause a disruption of service. Hardware failures are rare and when they occur we will endeavour to restore service as quickly as possible. If your business is reliant on maintaining a continuous service then you should consider a dedicated server with redundancy capability.

Terms and Conditions
In addition to our terms and conditions, http://www.3Legs.com/terms.html, domain names are also subject to the terms and conditions of the administrating registrar. For details please see the links below.
