What is Virtual Web Hosting?

We specialize in Virtual Web Hosting and Ecommerce solutions, which means that you can find a home for your web site on our servers and establish a presence on the internet. We can help register your domain name which will become your unique address on the World Wide Web. Having your own domain name does not suggest that you are renting web space, and, since email can be addressed to your domain (eg. [email protected]) you will not have to announce a new email address if you change internet providers

Will I be able to access my domain name with or without the www.?

Yes, you will be able to access the domain name with or without the www. in front. For example, you could access the domain name "Precizion.com" by going to "www.Precizion.com" as well as "Precizion.com".

How do Precizion's plans match my business needs?

Some businesses choose to start slowly and move through each stage in succession, and others leap in at a higher level. How you choose to approach this is entirely up to you.  

We believe that the various stages in business internet evolution are as follows:

  • Advertiser
  • Marketer
  • Simple Trader
  • Extended Trader

To explain these terms and to place them in the context of Precizion's hosting plans, let us consider each term.

  1. The Advertiser. This is often the first step taken by a business when getting their own web site. It involves creating a web page or several web pages to advertise your business, and promote the goods and services that you offer. The nature of the pages can be very simple or quite elaborate depending on what you see as the best for you. If this is where you want to be, then Precizion’s Personal Plan is probably sufficient for you.
  2. The Marketer. Marketing involves both advertising and more directed efforts arising typically from obtaining feedback from visitors to your site. In marketing jargon, you are interested in qualified leads. While you can get visitors to send you an email under the personal plan, you can expand on that by preparing forms that your customers complete, giving you their name and contact details along with their area of interest when using our Plan 1. Additional features such as an in-built search mechanism can allow your customers to search for particular things in your web site. The forms entry would also allow you to receive simple order requests from your customers.
  3. The Simple Trader. An increasing number of internet users are looking to actually purchase goods over the internet. To achieve this you need to start building a database of at least your key products. The first steps are typically to present your database of products/services and through provided software such as the shopping cart, allow the visitors to place an order for those goods. Your own in-house procedures then take over to confirm orders, arrange payments etc. Some people then print the order, insert their credit card details and fax the order through. Alternately, you can introduce electronic commerce arrangements and acquire credit card details over the internet. Usually you need to offer your customers the comfort of secure transaction processing for this to be successful. All these features are available in Precizion’s Plan 2.
  4. The Extended Trader. Typically the extended trader offers their full product range over the internet and has established secure transaction processing. Naturally this requires more substantial database activity and probably more space. If our Plan 2 is not sufficient, then you may need to move into a Plan 3 or 4 to obtain these expanded features appropriate to your requirements.

Do you offer dial-up internet access?

No. We have chosen to focus on serving you with our core services.  Dial-up access is expensive to maintain, and we do not feel we could continue to offer low prices and the same level of customer support. You can still connect to us by using your local Internet Service Provider.

Do you offer web page design services?

Yes.  We have developed a network of suitable specialists who can assist you in developing your own web pages. Depending on the workload at the particular time, we will either utilize our in-house expertise, or call upon one or more of our associates. If you feel that you have very particular web page design needs, we will gladly send you a list of companies that offer web page consulting, web page development, and/or custom scripting services. You will be able to contact one or more of them to discuss design and pricing. For more information, contact us.

How do I upgrade from one plan to another?

You can upgrade from plans by sending your request to mailto:[email protected] or calling us at 1-866-203-1857. All plans may include a one-time $29.99 set up fee.

Can I check domain name availability?

Yes. You can check domain availability here.

Does Precizion handle domain registration?

Yes, and for new domain names and with most accounts, we pay for the first year registration!

Can I transfer existing domain name to Precizion ?

Yes. Whether you place an order by telephone or via our online order form, be sure to specify that you are requesting a transfer and NOT a new domain. You should keep the service at the present site while waiting for InterNIC to complete the transfer. We will provide you with a temporary IP address so you can mirror the site on our server. All email and web pages will still be accessed from the current site. When InterNIC announces the completion of the transfer there is a 72 hour propagation period where visitors could go to either site. At the end of the 72 hours you should contact the previous host to have them delete the old domain from their records and update their DNS record. If you use this same provider for your Internet access you will not be able to access your domain site at Precizion until they update their DNS.

How long does it take before my domain name is active?

Once the InterNIC announces that your domain name has been registered (or transferred, if applicable), it usually takes about 72-hours before it is active. All internet providers must update their records (DNS tables) to reflect new site locations. This is called propagation .

What is the fee for domain registration ?

Precizion pays for new domain names for the first year with the purchase of a new hosting account.  If you are just registering a domain name, charges vary.  Other registrars charge their own fees.

How do I transfer files to my web site ?

Files may be transferred to the web server via File Transport Protocol (FTP), via direct Telnet, or Microsoft FrontPage.

Will I have unlimited access to update my pages ?

You have unlimited access via FTP or FrontPage 24-hours a day. As such, you can create and maintain your web pages on your own computer and upload files to your web site at your leisure.

Can multiple domains point to the same HTML files ?

Yes.  There is a one time $10 setup fee for this service.

Can I use my account for commercial purposes ?

Yes, you can use your account for commercial purposes. The World Wide Web has become a most efficient and cost-effective means of making information available to the users of the internet community. If desired, a secure site is available to you.  If you use our key, it is also FREE.

Can I resell space within my own account ?

Yes. You can resell space within your account. However, you will be responsible for its content and data transfer. It will not be possible to acquire multiple account passwords for FTP access.  If you are using FrontPage, then you can create separate webs with separate users, however, they MUST use FrontPage to publish their web site.

Do you accept international orders ?

Yes. We are pleased to have customers around the world and we're as close as your computer.

How long has Precizion been in business ?

Precizion is a Sole Proprietorship started in 1999.  Our rapid growth is the direct result of our strong commitment to quality and our guiding vision of being the world's best web hosting company.

What contract and payment terms are available?

We bill at quarterly, semi-annual, annual, and 2 year increments and require a minimum three month contract. We accept Visa, MasterCard, as well as personal and business checks and money orders.

Do you offer technical support to customers ?

Yes. We encourage our customers to send email to [email protected] with questions or concerns about their web site, or visit our support section. We answer mail 24 hours a day, and respond quickly to support questions.  Additionally, because of an alliance with HELP-SITE, we can offer a knowledge base via our support web 24 hours per day.

How long does it take to set up a new account ?

Typically an order that includes full payment information will be processed within 4 hours of its receipt. Usually you should have an email forwarded to you with your new account information on the morning following our processing. Once an account is set up an activation notice will be sent to you via email including a userid, password, and FTP hostname. You can begin uploading files to your new web site immediately. Domain account users will be given a temporary URL to access their site via the web prior to the completion of either domain registration or transfer.

How do I place an order ?

You can place an order for a Virtual domain account directly from our web site 24 hours a day at www.precizion.com/hosting.htm
