your web site, please feel free to contact
us to discuss your requirements.
How long will it take for my web space to be set up?
Your web hosting account will be set up immediately upon receipt of your order.
What information do you require to set up my web hosting account?
We will require details of the domain or domains you wish to be hosted.
Can I transfer my web hosting from another company to you?
Yes, we will guide you through the steps necessary to implement this.
Can I transfer my domain name to you?
Yes we will be pleased to accept management of your domain names.
Is your web hosting service fast, secure and reliable ?
Do I need to transfer my domain to you to use your hosting ?
If you are happy to leave your domain name where it is at the moment, you can simply ask the current provider to update the name servers in order that your domain name points to your hosting account with us. We would handle your website and email configuration, but domain management (and payment of naming fees) would remain with your current provider
How long does it take to transfer a domain name to you?
This is largely dependant upon how speedily the person who currently holds your domain record reacts. If they act upon your request quickly it should only take 24 - 48 hours to implement. For more information visit the Domain Transfer Section of our website.

Yes you can, we will be pleased to check availability of your preferred domain names and then to register them on your behalf.

Can we host our website inhouse on one of our company's computers? Is it a good idea to provide our own internal webserver?
Will I see any downtime if I get my domain transferred to use your website hosting facilities?
No, there will be no downtime. Domain transfers usually take a couple of days to complete due to the need for a global refresh. While some end users may be visiting your site at its new location, others may still be receiving old information and are being routed to your previous host. During this time, it is best to keep the account with your old hosting provider open until the domain has been properly transferred and is pointing to GCW servers

Contact us via email or telephone us, we are more than happy to explain any technical issues and help you get your site up and running.

This
will automatically disappear once your website is uploaded
to your webspace on our servers. If you are in the process
of having your website designed you may wish to display
a simple temporary "banner page" to advertise
your company's presence and give contact details whilst
this is in progress.
