So what elements are needed to get online and develop your own online presence? The main part of the process is registering your own domain name. A domain gives you your own address on the Internet. If you wish to have your own web site, you need to purchase web hosting and possibly a site building service product or service, our Premium Web Design Service.
To start communicating online you need email services, both actual email accounts and, for security, some mail filtering software.
In growing your business online, you should also look at Internet Security software to protect your services and networks and possibly look at dedicated servers or virtual server hosting (as an alternative to shared hosting) for added control and security of your hosting.

Email Services
Email is one of the main forms of communication used today in business and in communicating with friends and family. All domain names bought with Easyspace already include email forwarding, but to have several accounts you should consider our email services.
Our Email service allows you to add/delete mailboxes and offers features such as webmail access, mail forwarding, mail filtering and much more.
Web Hosting
Buying web hosting for your domain name allows you the opporunity to have your very own web site. The Easyspace web hosting services come in three distinct packages: Starter Plus, Business, and Pic 'n' Mix, each focused on particular requirements.
All web hosting packages include FREE setup and many features from backups, statistis and plenty of web space.
All you have to be concerned about is what to put on your site!
Virtual and Dedicated Sever Hosting
Virtual Servers (VPS) are virtually dedicated. This means that while the user experiences a similar service to fully dedicated servers, they are actually sharing server space with a small number of other customers.
However by utilising state of the art server partitioning software, your virtual private server runs entirely independently of all other accounts sharing space and resources on the server. We have full control over the servers we run for you meaning we can guarantee you your fair share of server resources, from disk space to memory usage.
Each user account on the virtual server is given the same control over their part of the server, acting as though it is the only account on the server. This setup also allows for consistent, high performance, even in the event of usage peaks on the main server. All users are invisible to each other and totally secure.
This consistent high performance and flexibility makes Virtual Servers an ideal hosting solution for businesses and individuals who often have high levels of traffic on their sites, or for whom shared hosting has become too restrictive. Virtual servers set you free at a fraction of the cost of a fully dedicated server.
