๐ŸŒ Hosting Questions

Yes, 100%. Both our Static (โ‚ฌ50/year) and WordPress (โ‚ฌ150/year) plans include fast, reliable web hosting. There are no separate hosting bills to worry about โ€” it's all bundled in your annual fee.
We'll contact you before your renewal date. You simply renew at the same annual rate and your site stays live. If you decide not to renew, your website will be taken offline after the renewal date passes.
We use optimised, fast servers for all our websites. Static websites are especially fast โ€” they typically load in under 1 second. WordPress sites are also optimised for speed with caching and performance plugins.
Yes. Every website we host comes with a free SSL certificate, meaning your site will show the padlock icon and "https://" in the browser. This is important for both security and Google rankings.
We aim for 99.9% uptime. Our hosting infrastructure is reliable and monitored. In the rare event of any downtime, we work to resolve it as quickly as possible.

๐ŸŒ Domain Questions

Domain names are not included in either plan. You need to purchase your domain separately from a domain registrar. We recommend letshost.ie for .ie domains โ€” they typically cost โ‚ฌ5 for 1st year. Once you have a domain, we connect it to your hosting for free.
Absolutely. If you already have a domain registered, just let us know when you order and we'll connect it to your new website at no extra charge. We'll guide you through updating your DNS settings if needed.
For Irish businesses, a .ie domain is strongly recommended โ€” it builds trust with local customers and boosts local SEO. You can also use .com if your .ie isn't available. We can advise you on the best choice for your business.
We recommend letshost.ie for .ie domains. The .ie domain requires proof of Irish presence (e.g. a company number, VAT number, or Irish address), which most businesses have. The process is straightforward and usually takes minutes.

๐Ÿ“ง Email Questions

The Static Website plan (โ‚ฌ50/year) does not include business email hosting. However, your website will have a working contact form that sends messages directly to your email inbox. For a professional business email (e.g. info@yourbusiness.ie), you'd need to upgrade to WordPress or use a separate email service like Google Workspace.
Yes. The WordPress Website plan (โ‚ฌ150/year) includes business email hosting. You'll get a professional email address using your domain name (e.g. info@yourbusiness.ie), which you can access via webmail or set up on your phone and laptop.
Yes. If you're on the Static plan and want a professional email address, you can use Google Workspace (around โ‚ฌ6/month) or Zoho Mail (free tier available) separately. We can advise you on setting this up alongside your website.

โšก Delivery & Process

Most websites are delivered within 48 hours of placing your order and providing your content (logo, images, text). More complex WordPress builds with e-commerce may take 3โ€“5 days. We'll always give you a clear timeline when you order.
To get started, we need: your business name and description, any logo or images you want to use, your services/menu/pricing information, your contact details, and any specific pages or features you want. Don't worry if you don't have everything โ€” we can work with what you have and help fill in the gaps.
Yes. Minor content updates (text, images, contact details) are included. If you need major structural changes or new pages added, we can discuss that separately. WordPress clients can also make many changes themselves using the WordPress admin panel.
Your satisfaction is our priority. We offer revisions to make sure you're happy with the final result before we go live. If something isn't right, just let us know and we'll fix it. We don't consider a project done until you're happy.
Not at all. We handle everything technical โ€” design, development, hosting, SSL, DNS, and launch. You just tell us about your business and we do the rest. After launch, we're always available to help with anything you need.
After you submit your order form, we'll be in touch within a few hours to confirm details and send a payment link. We accept all major cards and bank transfer. Payment is due before work begins, and your hosting renews annually.
