product overview

Domain names are essential if you want to have a school Web site or use an email service for your staff or students. Without registering and hosting a domain name neither of these is possible!

A domain name is the part of the email address that comes after the '@', ie *******@swgfl.org.uk or the part of the Web site address that comes between 'www' and the next forward slash. So in this example the domain is www.www.swgfl.org.uk/support.

Domain Name Hosting service means that you will be able to use your registered domain name practically, by attaching a Web site or email service to it. In technical terms this means that a file is created on a DNS (Domain Name System) server that contains information about services on a domain. This enables emails to be correctly directed and people surfing to your Web site to be sent to the correct place.

product benefits

• Allows you to source all your email, Web hosting, and domain name services from one place which means you have only one company to contact for support, service amendments, and advice.
• Removes the need for you to set up domain names hosting services on your own network - no additional overheads for hardware, support, licensing, or lost time.
• Supports government initiatives, eg BECTA 'Schools names on the net' project - meaning your school can benefit from participating in these schemes.
