What the heck is a CMS and why do I care? |
|
CMS stands for Content Management System. If you're reading this question then you might benefit from the educational aspects of hosting with Rappel. A Content Management System is like a skeleton for websites that can have all sorts of elements connected to it with little hassle. There are many Content Management Systems available on the web, we chose Joomla! Because it has been the most flexible and convenient for us.

How do you develop websites at such a low cost? |
|
We use a very popular site structure called Joomla. Joomla is an open-source CMS. That means it is free for us or anyone to use on their website. This is why we don't charge you for 'purchasing' code and you don't pay for unnecessary programming that just re-invents the wheel. If you are unsure if Joomla! Can offer you a website that is powerful enough then contact us and we will help you evaluate. |
|
How do you afford such low prices? |
|
This business is part time for me. That doesn't mean you won't get full service, it just means that I'm not sitting around 24/7 waiting for customers... I have other consistent work to occupy myself. This is also thanks to the power of the internet. I can deliver my services anywhere in the world without major business overheads.

When you purchase your domain name you can 'subdivide' that address to have a virtually unlimited number of addresses and websites.
Here is what it looks like: www.DomainName.com www.Subdomain.DomainName.com

Is there a minimum contract? |
|
There are no minimum contracts for staying with Rappel for domain hosting. You can take your website after the first month and do with it what you want. This includes any free work we do for you. The only contract as such is the purchase of the domain name. When you purchase that name you will own it for a number of years depending on your decision. This will be transferred to you if you leave but will not include any refunds. We would prefer that you stay with us to learn about websites and what makes them tick.
And then leave when you get to the stage that you can build your own website with confidence.

I can take some geek-speak... Tell me some of the features of your hosting and sites? |
|
Okay, here are what you get for your plan... Unlimited mysql databases, unlimited subdomains, unlimited email accounts, ftp access, linux server, fantastico website software offered, many plugins, templates, modules or combinations available. Traffic limits apply but we'll contact you if it becomes a problem.

You don't seem worried about making much money. Why? |
|
I see this business as an opportunity to network with people in business. I have a stable source of income and some extra time to occupy. I do make some money still. Just not so much that it goes to my head. |
