Website Hosting - Why Use Computer Image?

Domain Renewals

The number of scams, cons and rip-off merchants associated with domain names is on the increase.  Renewals through these methods often end in either (a) you paying too much for your domain renewal or (b) your renewal not being processed and your domain disappearing from the Internet.

Should your domain lapse it will mean that no email can reach your server and no access to your website will be available.

Computer Image can manage your domain names, including renewals, to ensure your domains are genuinely renewed when required.  This ensures that your domain is always available and correctly renewed.

Computer Image charges the current recommended retail price on renewals (for a .com.au domain) - $140 including GST for 2 years.  .com.au domains cannot be renewed for any longer than 2 years.

Domain Name Services (DNS)

DNS provides the method for other computers or people on the internet to find the correct destination for email messages and the correct place to look for website content.

Computer Image can provide these services independently or as part of a webhosting package.  Computer Image operate four DNS servers at three physical sites in Adelaide..

Secondary MXing (E-mail redundancy)

Secondary MXing services mean that if your email server is disconnected from the Internet or not receiving mail for any reason that incoming email is stored on your behalf.

This email, after being checked for viruses and junk mail, is then forwarded to your server when it becomes available again.

Computer Image can provide these services independently or as part of a webhosting package. We operate three mail-queuing servers at three physical sites in Adelaide.  All email that passes through our servers ie. not delivered directly to your own mail server, is virus scanned and filtered for spam or junk mail, before being redirected to your chosen ISP Pop Account or mailbox.

Detailed Website Statistic Reporting

Computer Image website customers have the added feature of detailed website reports which show them information such as many many visitors they have had to their site and how they got there eg. via search engines or other links.  These statistics are accessible via a web browser and details are automatically updated weekly.
