    Web Hosting Starting Out
    Depending on factors like the number of changes and data you want to include, as well as related factors like the company's current workload and such, lead time for setting-up your site will take 15 business days or less.
    By Editor - Updated 06/01/2003 | Back To Top

    Web Presence
    Yes, and more than that. When you order an account, you are assigned a project-manager/art-director who works with you and who supervises and manages the customization of your site (with regard to the other team members), and who has deep, wide and long experience and expertise in all aspects of web design and the Internet in general.

    Web Presence
    Yes, it really is free. There's no catch. There are no setup fees. There are no surcharges. There are no hidden charges. It is all complete, you don't get anything incomplete. No gimmicks whatsoever. No tricks, back-charges, or any such nonsense.
    By Editor - Updated 06/01/2003 | Back To Top

    General Questions
    HostPrepaid is the first company to offer free professional-grade website customization and design for free, and we're able to do this because of our proprietary and innovative business model, which enables us to generate income
     
    Naturally these are all very expensive and requires a lot of work, time and resources for us, but we're more than happy to give this to our clients free of charge. This is available to clients who prepay for 12 months (no surcharge, hidden charges or any such nonsense) to ensure clients are serious customers and not malicious pranksters or competitors who want to undermine this special and unique service we provide totally free by abusing such services.
     
    Furthermore, all customers can cancel their accounts at any time, and are entitled to a limited money-back guarantee. See below for more details.
    By Editor - Updated 06/01/2003 | Back To Top

    Web Hosting No-Risk
    You are free to leave at any time, as you are free to do as you wish and we will refund any unused hosting credits you have left, subject to the costs incurred from third-party purchases made in your behalf (like domain name registrations, etc., which are your very own, and 100% in your name, and are thus non-refundable). Your HostPrepaid services are on a year to year basis, without any required contract. Payments for the current year will not be credited.See directly below for more details.
    By Editor - Updated 06/01/2003 | Back To Top

    Web Hosting No-Risk
    All hosting accounts and customization and design work have a 30-day money back guarantee minus the costs incurred from third-party purchases made in your behalf. These are things like domain name registrations, premium design layouts sourced from a third-party for you, etc., which are your very own to keep, and 100% in your name, and are thus non-refundable). These can cost a total of up to $100 or so, depending, and were chosen by you upon ordering. Since we sell online products, we cannot control the abuse or future usage of our templates, that's why according to our Terms and Conditions we do not do refunds.
     
    Furthermore, even after 30 days you may still cancel at any time, still under the stipulations mentioned above, where you may obtain a refund of the unused portion of your plan.
     
    We care very much about all our clients and believe you will be very happy hosting with us; and therefore remove all possible risks, reservations or hassles you may have.

    Web Hosting Benefits
    Everything. There is a whole world of difference. See for yourself. Simply look at what HostPrepaid includes in all its account and compare it with any other web host.
     
    But in a nutshell: A lot of people slave over the use of one of those automated website makers by themselves. Many web hosts don't even have this at all; but for those who do, you can simply go to any of them or one of those domain registration companies for an example of their site-builder, and see real sample sites. You'll find that all are virtually of mediocre to very low quality, among many other severe limitations. Users actually select from templated "themes" too.
     
    HostPrepaid provides some of the most important and key offerings no one else provides, but the most basic of which is that instead of an automated site-builder program that produces low-quality results, HostPrepaid offers to not only do all the work for your (so you don't have to learn or work on it all), but lets not just ordinary clerks but real web designers work on your website. Based on designs you can select from our design gallery of thousands of the highest-quality designs culled from all over the Internet and all over the world for you. And so much more.
     
    But best of all? It's all provided for free.

    General Questions
    Having a professional web designer build your site will normally cost many hundreds or several thousands of dollars (separate from hosting, domain name registration, etc.).
     
    With a prepaid account with HostPrepaid, websites we customize and build for you are all high-grade and professional-quality, and are totally free.
     
    Not to mention the amount of time, money and work that you save by not having to be the one to slave over building your website.
     
    You don't architect, design, construct and do all other things to build your house, office or building, all by yourself do you? Additionally, you don't do interior design, design and manufacture your office's furniture and do everything else by yourself do you? Don't you assign it to someone else, the experts? Website design is like that. This is what we do, and we're the experts in web hosting and web design. The only difference is, we provide this to you for free.

    Web Presence Add-Ons
    If you wish to avail of any other service such as logo design, a maintenance and update contract, etc., simply go to our Add-Ons section and order it there.
    By Editor - Updated 06/01/2003 | Back To Top

    Web Hosting Starting Out
    HostPrepaid customizes and builds your site for you (normally the one-time event that costs the most on any website), and for free. You can make any changes that you want like any regular hosting account, and have your easy-to-use web control panel with every account.
     
    However, if you later want to make any changes, you have the option to avail and purchase any of our Add-Ons. This includes a maintenance and update contract so HostPrepaid can handle any non-structural changes and additions to your site (like updates of names and other data, inclusion of company news, etc.); or custom web design for structural changes or new designs, or for programming, etc.; plus many other services.
    By Editor - Updated 06/01/2003 | Back To Top

    Web Presence Add-Ons
    Many companies and people find that designing and building their website is only the first step. Sometimes they have or want to constantly update their website and keep it current with new data, news, information and more.
     
    Most business owners don't have the time or the desire to type, code HTML, make photo swaps, or any other such work. If you don't want to do any of these yourself, you can let HostPrepaid do it for you, by simply availing of any of our Maintenance and Update Contract options in our Add-Ons section.
     
    With a maintenance and update program, making a change to your website is as simple us sending us an email or using a web form. You tell us what you want to change, and we'll change and work on it for you immediately, normally within 24 hours.
    By Editor - Updated 06/01/2003 | Back To Top

    Web Presence Add-Ons
    Structural changes to your website means modifications that change the layout (the structure itself) of your website. This means changes in your website's design, addition of pages, modifying navigation, changing basic design, graphic elements, formats, etc.
     
    A non-structural change includes items that do not change the layout of your website, such as text changes, swapping photos and images, minor text additions or removals, and the like.
     
    Non-structural changes are covered in a maintenance and update contract, while structural changes require additional custom design services charged separately.
     
    Though some changes constitute structural changes, such as adding pages to accommodate recent news about your company, etc., we can normally provide it for you as part of a non-structural change and it can be covered in one of our maintenance and update contract options.
     
    For more information or if you are unsure whether a change is structural or non-structural, contact your project manager or send any of us an email. You may also get more information from our Scope page.

    Web Presence Adult Content
    No. But you wish to set-up an adult site, we can refer you to other sites who do. Email inquiry@hostprepaid.com
    By Editor - Updated 06/01/2003 | Back To Top

    Web Presence Design
    Many sites (especially those made by automated sitebuilders with very few designs that are more often repeatedly used) are actually utilizing and based on templates that many other sites use, but which most people will never see elsewhere. This is because there is a very small chance that you will find the same design on the net. There are more than 3,000,000,000 webpages online (and still rapidly expanding) according to statistics on www.google.com. So the chances of that are very slim.
     
    Also, even if other sites are found that use the same layout, the data will be very different anyways since your site will have you're the unique text and images of your own that you sent to us to be placed there. What's more, unlike regular site-builders that everyone else uses that usually have 10 to 15 to 50 designs tops, designs in our gallery number in the thousands, and all are premium, top-quality designs that would normally be expensive and that you would never find free elsewhere.
    By Editor - Updated 06/01/2003 | Back To Top

    Web Presence Package Inclusions
    Yes, you can simply make a request and we will send you the design layout of your website, from the full files used in your website all the way to the basics, the "raw" templates and graphic designs used.
     
    Upon your request, you will receive a confirmation email with link(s) to download compressed .zip(s) that contain all your files of your website. The .zip file(s) contain the following: PSD file(s), HTML file(s), fonts and advanced clipart library. You will need unzipping software to open the .zip archive. Windows users may visit www.WinZip.com to obtain compression programs. Mac users may visit www.StuffIt.com.
    By Editor - Updated 06/01/2003 | Back To Top

    Web Presence Lead Time
    One of the many advantages of HostPrepaid is the time factor: It usually takes 5-15 days for a good designer just to conceptualize and produce a web page of such quality as the raw designs you can choose from our design gallery, which forms the basis for your website. Normally you'll have to add to that 15 to 30 more days to place your data and customize it.
    By Editor - Updated 06/01/2003 | Back To Top

    Web Presence Specifications
    Your finished website files are in the various standard website formats like HTML and if there are special cases or add-ons such as scripts, in PHP, Perl, Flash and other formats.
     
    Raw graphic design files are normally available in Photoshop formats. Fonts are included with Photoshop file. Most of these are compatible with Adobe® GoLive®, Macromedia Dreamweaver® and Microsoft Frontpage®. If your layout includes Flash, they can be viewed and edited in Macromedia Flash® as well.
    By Editor - Updated 06/01/2003 | Back To Top

    Web Presence Designs
    Sometimes, a client purchases the rights to a design for exclusivity and so that no one else (except any previous clients who chose that design in the past, if ever) will be able to use the same design. This means that the design you liked has been sold for the exclusive price and will never again appear on our site. But this seldom occurs. You still may find an replacement or any other design among the thousands of top-quality designs in the gallery.
    By Editor - Updated 06/01/2003 | Back To Top

    Web Presence Add-Ons
    Yes, we can. Simply go to our Add-Ons section to purchase a custom design.

    General Questions
    HostPrepaid provides the real benefits that no one else ever has. It is the first and (so far) the only company to provide its prepaid customers professional-grade website customization and design, totally free.
     
    With everybody else, you had to hire an expensive web designer or firm, or in other cases you had to learn and use one of the many "site-builder" software programs, then work on it all yourself to build your website. Not with HostPrepaid.
     
    You don't have to learn, use or work on building your website yourself-- we will do all that work for you! When you prepay for your web hosting account, real people-- real web designers-- will customize and build your professional-quality website for you, totally free.
     
    You get all these with your high-end, ultra-reliable web hosting, and much more (free domain name, search engine submission, etc.) in each package, only with HostPrepaid. We can go on and on, but see for yourself and check out our Benefits section for more information.
