LATEST NEWS: .net 3.5 now available on all servers

Once your website is built, you will need some hosting space in which to publish it.  In a nutshell, web hosting is space you rent on a server that has a fast, reliable and always-on, connection to the internet.  When you contract NetPotential to build your website we also offer you hosting in order to publish it, although we can still build your website if you choose to host it elsewhere.

You needn't be concerned with the technical specifications of our servers. Just have confidence that we can provide them with a complete (and reliable) service - which includes hosting.

Chances are that you will also want email hosting for your domain name, so all our web hosting packages come with email hosting thrown in.  We can also offer email hosting on its own, if required.

Technical specifications

Operating system:

ASP.NET hosting available (version 1.1, 2.0 and 3.5, ASP.NET AJAX enabled)
SQL Server 2000 or 2005 database hosting available

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is fast becoming one of the most widely used server platforms for small businesses. At NetPotential we develop our websites in, and recommend, ASP.NET which is a technology that requires a Windows server to run.

The Microsoft .NET framework is native to the Windows 2003 operating system, which makes it the only logical choice for running your web based ASP.NET applications. If you have any questions about our hosting services, please just give us a call.

* What does unmetered mean?
Unmetered means we don't limit the services you need, however we do actively monitor resource usage and will let you know if your usage is affecting the performance of the server, or is becoming unreasonable to a point where the expense of operating your account exceeds your monthly billing. In the event we require you to move from a shared hosting account, we will discuss the options available to you before proceeding with any action. These options include hosting on our US-based server, virtual servers, and dedicated server hosting. As a general guide we do not permit high-volume sites, file archives or free email services. If you're unsure about any of these conditions please contact us to discuss your options.
