Directory Submission

Okay... So you have a great website - how do you get people to view it? This can be a difficult process as there are hundreds of thousands of websites on the internet and that number is growing daily. If you are in an especially competative market then you are facing a monumental task of getting traffic to your website. Search engines such as Google ans Yahoo! are an obvious source of web traffic but if your website cannot be found by the search engines or they don't rate your website very highly then you will be in a low position in the search engine rankings and this means that you will not get many visitors. One way to get the search engines to notice you is to get links from other websites - this works because search engines are constantly 'crawling' the internet and indexing what they find. By gaining links from other websites to yours you are increasing the number of visits your website get's from the search engines. It can be hard getting links from other websites - but luckily there are websites on the internet that welcome people who want to link back to their websites. These sites are called 'web directories' are are huge lists of websites organsied into categories - they are like the Yellow Pages for the internet. There are thousands of these web directory websites online and it can be hard work regsitering at each one and adding your website details, this is where Total Web Development come in. We will manually add your website to a huge amount of web directories (we do not use automated software that can result in your submission to the directories being denied). Our pricing is very competative for manual directory submissions: Number of web directories Total Price 20 £10 50 £25 100 £45 200 £90 400 £170 800 £300

Social Networking

The biggest buzz of 2010, Social Networking is the latest craze and a must have for the majority of businesses large and small. We can help you connect to your customers via some of the most popular social websites such as Facebook and Twitter.  

Cloud Hosting

Cloud hosting is the next generation of web hosting systems. It is highly reliable and can cope with massive spikes in web traffic automatically.  

Web Hosting and Servers

Websites are placed on 'web servers' in order for them to be viewed on the internet - these web servers are highly specialised machines located in complex buildings called datacentres. We utilise high spec datacentres in both the UK and the USA Generally our hosting customers will be placed on UK located servers unless they specify USA based hosting. Our web hosting is not the cheapest available - and it was not designed to be. Because we keep the number of websites hosted on our servers low we can offer 'business class' web hosting - this means that your sites will load fast and be ultra reliable. Lower cost hosting means more websites per server and a generally lower quality service. Our servers are monitored 24 hours per day and are looked after by a dedicated team of server technicians, who actively respond to any problems as they happen... Dedicated Servers If your website has out-grown traditional shared hosting then you maybe considering a whole server for your website, this is known as a 'dedicated server'. We can match your website needs (and your budget) to your ideal specification server... Because all of our dedicated servers are built from scratch we can put together a custom quote for you based on processor, memory and hard drive specifications. Our dedicated servers are fully managed (meaning that you do not need any technical knowledge to own one) and just like our shared hosting they are monitored 24 hours per day and looked after by a dedicated team of server technicians.
