The Virtual Workforce Comapny Ltd.
A domain name is used so that a website visitor does not have to remember the "house number" (IP address) of your website. These days most people probably type your company name into Google and hopefully you come up. Years ago, one just typed the URL into the web browser address bar and reached the page without the need of a search engine. (You don't have to search if you know.) tvwfc.co.uk is our domain name. inuklocal.co.uk is another one. haywardsheath.inuklocal.co.uk is a sub-domain of the inuklocal.co.uk domain.
You get a domain name from a domain registrar. There are many domain registrars. You see them advertising on TV and there are many more who don't advertise on TV. Look for one which allows you control over the domain details, like making changes to the Name Server. We have used www.fasthosts.co.uk for almost 20 years and can recommend the company. Good control panel. Good service. We can register your domain name for you and take away the uncertainty of not knowing and not being 100% certain of what to do. Most likely it will save you money as you only buy what you really need and not one of the proposed add-ons.
Prices vary. Fasthosts currently charges £9.99 + VAT per year for .co.uk domains, £12.99 + VAT for .com domains. They often have a special offer and sell the first year for £0.01. (This price was checked on the 8th of June 2019)
.co.uk Domains are registered for a mininum of 2 years and renewed for at least another 2 years. However, you can buy credits at a discount and register your domain name for example for the next 10 years. Saves you money and you don't have to think about it for a while.
Yes, we can. We do this for our clients. If we build your website - we can do that for you.
Yes, we have upgraded the payment pages and we can process orders using the new 3DSecure protocol.
Sure, that's already build in. We go even a bit further as you can set the values yourself. You could do buy 2 get 1 free or buy 3 get 1 free. You can set those offers for each product and even set a start time and an end time for the offer.
That's up to you. You can add as many as you need. We don't restrict this. You have also 2 different access levels you can asign as you might want to restrict who can process refunds (for example).
No. There is no limitation. You can add as many products as you have to sell. Each product can even have variants. Let's say you sell T-Shirts. The T-Shirt comes in different sizes. You can do this as 1 product and have e.g. 5 variants for the sizes or you add 5 products. The variant approach would probably be the better solution.
The easiest way would be using a subdomain like yourshop.yourdomain.co.uk. You just need to add links from your website to the shop pages and you are done.
Yes, you can have email address for your domain name. We host a Mail Server which handles that all. The Mail Server comes with web mail (like Gmail) and you can get your email to your Outlook or other email client account.
