I've been surfing the Internet and now I want my own Website, what should I do?

There are several options open to you; if you are experienced then you could purchase a hosting package, design and code your own website. This would involve managing your hosting account, fixing bugs in your programming, checking your design is compatiable across all the major browsers and various other jobs that you would need to undertake on a day to day basis.

Alternatively you could subscribe to a 'get your own website' hosting package, in this instance you would not need to worry about your website hosting. Generally hosting companies only offer a basic or limited website creation tool which may look appealing initially but you would soon become annoyed with the lack of features and support offered.

Fortunately there are a handful of companies that offer good website creation tools with MaxiPRO being one of them. Be careful not to fall for the gimmicks and think about the useful features that you might need after a couple of months, you should decide exactly what you want to achieve with your website before deciding on the product subscription. MaxiPRO offers all of it's tools and features as standard for one low monthly fee.

Where is my Website kept, who looks after it?

Your website is hosted on very fast servers that reside in a secure controlled enviroment in a multi million pound data centre in the UK's capital city, London. Rest assured, your website will be live 24/7/365 with ultra quick response times.

I have seen a few 'build your own website' products, why should I use MaxiPRO?

Have you ever bought something and wished after a couple of weeks that you purchased a better model! Although building a website might seem daunting now, give it a month and you will be asking questions that you had never even thought about before. How can I do this, why can't I do that... With MaxiPRO you can build a professional looking website that is search engine optimised and W3C code compliant, you have advanced tools at your finger tips that a total beginner can use. All of the extra little features enable you to control each page of your website as if you had programmed it yourself. Our competitors products simply lack these very important features...

I want my own domain name, how do I purchase it?

There are thousands of different resources to purchase your domain from, some reliable and others come with serious consequences. We suggest you use '123-Reg', they are very cheap, completely reliable and have a great control panel to manage your domains. Alternatively we can purchase your chosen domain name (subject to availability) on your behalf for a small annual fee. The nameserver of your domain needs to point to our servers at ns1.server1.brapion.info and ns2.server1.brapion.info for your website to work on the WWW.

Can I move my website to another server or hosting company?

When ever you publish your website, MaxiPRO builds static HTML pages from your template, menu, content and account settings. You could technically move your website away from our servers although you would need to replace or remove any forms, rss feeds, forum, survey and other features. You would not be able to manage your website through the control panel in your account either. Terms & conditions apply.

Do I have to install any software?

Not at all, everything is managed online which means all you need is a browser to view your website and the control panel. We recommend that you use IE6+ to access your account and any modern browser to view your website.

Do I need to be experienced in programming html and css?

No definately not, the advanced content editor takes care of all the W3C compliant programming behind the scenes. Simply enter your content and click the appropriate formatting button, similar to a word processing package like MS Word.
