1. What are the differences between getting a sub-site of www.b-onweb.com/mysite.htm or my own virtual domain (http://www.MySite.com)? This is an excellent question. You are the most qualified person to make this decision, but it may be helpful to use the following table to compare your needs.
2. Do you charge anything for the amount of people/traffic on my web site?
No. Your investment with b-onweb is the same, even when your site begins to draw lots of people and traffic.
3. I've seen virtual domains for as low is £12 per month and as high as £200 per month. Why are the prices so different?
Great question! First, the Internet is still new, and prices always fluctuate for similar services in a new industry. Second, read the fine print. Very often, those £12.00/month deals have hidden extra costs, like monthly fees for the amount of traffic on your site. Imagine getting a great deal at £12.00/month on your own virtual domain, only to find out that when more than 100 people visit your 10MB web site each month, you have to pay an extra £0.70 per person or an extra £0.17 per MB of traffic. Those costs can add up fast. b-onweb has no hidden charges, no matter how much traffic you have on your site. Finally, find out what you get with your virtual domain. Many low-cost servers have no value-added extras. How easy is it for you or someone else to upload your own files? How easy is it to get support? Do you have the ability to run your own CGI scripts? Etc.

5. What is hosting?
Once your web site has been built it needs to reside on a computer that maintains a constant connection to the Internet. We call this kind of computer a server. This is because it serves up the web site information to Internet surfers who visit the site. The function of holding the web sites information and making it accessible to Internet visitors is called Hosting.6. Do I have to get hosting with you?
No, you can host your site wherever you like. There are however distinct technical advantages to hosting with us. Since we built your site all the elements of your site will work proficiently with our servers.© 2001-2004 bonweb a division of Alliance Diversfied Ltd. All Rights Reserved
