Domain Name
Domain Name ::: Web Site Operating Costs
Your domain name is the main part of your web site address, which appears after the www..
This is equivalent to your business license; an online identification which gives you exclusivity rights. To buy a domain name, you can do so directly from your web hosting provider, or through a separate domain name service. Generally, you only need to pay a certain amount of money per year to register your domain name.
To make sure domain names are unique, they are registered with the Canadian Internet Registry Authority through many registrars.
Although you can create a site under someone else's domain it is recommended that you register your own recognizable domain name.
* Expected Cost: $1.25/month
Hosting Service
Hosting Service ::: Web Site Operating Costs
A hosting service provides a computer called a server on which you can place the web pages and supporting files that make up your web site.
The server can be accessed by anyone using a browser (eg. Internet Explorer, Netscape) and will ''serve'' your pages to them.
The host also provides email service using addresses to your domain.
You need a hosting service to host your web site. Hosting packages vary dramatically from very inexpensive to very expensive. A developer can determine your requirements and shop for the least expensive package that fulfils your needs.
* Expected Cost: $2.95/month
Develpoment / Designing
Develpoment / Designing ::: Web Site Operating Costs
There once was a time when a new Web design could have cost your company tens of thousands of dollars.
Thanks to advances in Internet technology, today’s average price for a professional, business-class Web site is somewhere between $2000 and $7500.
If you already have an existing, high end web site design, then you can subtract this component from your total Web site cost. However, if you are looking for a website redesign or new design, this can be the single largest component for determining how much your Web site will cost.
* Web design and graphics development time & cost: 60 to 150 hours = $2,400 to $6,000

R1Soft Backups- the easy way to get rid of sleepless nights..
If you’re looking for disaster recovery services, there are a lot of “solutions” in the market … but few of them offer the flexibility, transparency and ease of use as R1Soft.
Whether you’re running a hosting company, a dedicated MySQL service, or backup hosting – R1soft is a top-rated choice.
We’re now offering R1Soft backups for free, with the install and configuration done automatically.
Will it impact the performance of your dedicated server like most others’ backup solutions?
No! R1Soft’s disk-to-disk CDP software works by reading data at the sector level and only recording data that has changed since the last backup.
This type of backup allows our clients to backup their data as often as every 15 minutes without seeing a harmful impact on server performance.
The common use of the R1Soft solution is backup hosting, such as offsite MySQL backups and disaster/backup recovery solutions for Linux and Windows servers.
You’ve likely had a moment in your life when you said, “I wish I could restore only this one file” or “I wish I could backup partition tables,” but your current backup strategy doesn’t provide those capabilities.
R1soft, however, features single file restore as well as full server restore, or a single partition recovery. Yes, it is that flexible.
In fact, it does even more: you can choose a regular backup schedule, set the number of recovery points you wish to be kept and let it run in the background without any further configuration!
You’ve probably been looking for a solid way to backup MySQL service data without interruptions to the service itself – R1Soft has a solution for this, too. Simply input the MySQL credentials in the R1soft form and set the schedule to backup all MySQL databases.
With the security of a regular backup strategy, should you run into any problems with your production server data, you can enjoy easy restores of any part of the system. In fact, all restore options are available to you from inside our famous LEAP control panel. Your data can be restored with a few clicks of the mouse. The options within LEAP include:
- Case #1 – single file/folder restore.
- Case #2 – mysql database restore.
- Case #3 – Partitions table restore.
- Case #4 – Full server restore (known as “bare-metal restore”)
With free R1Soft backups from SingleHop, disaster recovery is now a breeze!
