Who is Precizion? |
|
|
Precizion Hosting Solutions (Precizion) was founded
in 1999 as a web-design and web-host reselling company. Over
the following years, the company quickly grew into a fully operational
web-design and web-hosting provider. Precizion is based solely
in the Denver Colorado area. We offer more services, more features,
more web-site, for less money. Find out why! If the FAQ below
does not answer your questions, please
contact us. |

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
