BANDWIDTH CONSIDERATIONS ...

It is always best to do some basic groundwork first, to gather information on your Computer, Bandwidth Speeds and Type of Photographic Equipment that you will be using (if video is to be added).


YOUR COMPUTER DETAILS ...

Right Click 'My Computer' icon and then select 'Properties'

Under the 'General' Tab make a note of:

1)  Ghz Speed
2)  Amount of RAM


YOUR BROADBAND SPEED - UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD ...

Go To: www.pcpitstop.com/Internet/bw.asp to check upload & download speeds. Make a note of both Upload & Download speeds.


TYPE OF VIDEO CAMERA ...

Make a note of the following ...

1)  Make and Model?
2)  Analogue or Digital?
3)  Tape, Hard Drive or Memory Card?

 

Web Hosting CHARGES ...

In all cases we like to provide the hosting for any site that uses CMS and Video, as we need total access to an MS SQL Database Server. These database servers are not cheap. For Video and Photo uploads we also make use of PHP scripts on our Windows 2003 servers.

Our Web Hosting charges take into account the large Bandwidth required by video.

A 5 Page Basic Webhosting charge: £5 per month - £60 per year

Standard Webhosting charge: £15 per month - £180 per year with email, for larger websites.

CMS Webhosting charge: £20 per month - £240 per year

CMS / Ecommerce Webhosting charge: £25 per month - £300 per year
 

NOTES: Video Sites are allocated a bandwidth of 100Gb per month and are charged out at £20 per month. If we find that a client is regularly going over this, then we would review the monthly charge with them. (Having said that, an extra 50GB of Bandwidth only costs an extra £5 per month.)
