How much does it cost to transfer a com, net or org domain name from uk-cheapest?

It is not necessary to transfer your domain name to another provider in order to use their hosting service.

Simply apply the domain nameservers related to your hosting account (as supplied by your hosting service provider) to your domain name and this will point your domain name to your external hosting account.

If in the event you do want to fully transfer the domain name to another provider (thus making them responsible for your domain renewals) please see the following page for assistance with transfer costs and charges:

I’ve uploaded my website but I just get a Forbidden error message

The forbidden error message is usually given when there is no index.html or index.htm file present in a directory.

Make sure that you upload your index file correctly. As soon as you upload your index.htm or index.html file the Forbidden error message will no longer show.

Make sure that your index.html or index.htm file is in lowecase, a file named “Index.htm” (uppercase ‘i’) is not the same as “index.htm” (lowercase ‘i’) and will still result in the “Forbidden” error message. Filenames are case sensitive.

If you do have an index file in place then the problem may be related to the mod_security rules on your server. A 403 Frobidder error can usually be resolved by removing mod_security. Contact the Helpdesk to disable this service.

My web pages used to be listed in Google and now they are not

Each time Google update the database of web pages (about once a month), the index shifts. If your site was dropped from Google and you have not made major changes to it in the last month, Google will likely pick it up again in the next index. It’s possible your site was simply inaccessible when the robots tried to crawl it.

You may want to check and see if the number of other sites linking to your URL has decreased. This is the single biggest factor in determining what sites are indexed by Google, as we find most pages when our robots crawl the web and jump from page to page via hyperlinks. To find out who links to your site, use Google’s link: tool.

It’s also possible your rank decreased because other sites were found and assigned a higher rank. You can be assured that no one at Google has hand adjusted the results to boost the ranking of a site. Google’s order of results is automatically determined by several factors, including the PageRank algorithm. Please check out Google’s “Technology Overview page for more information on how this works.

Google does not index all of my pages. Why?

Although Google index more than 8 billion web pages, they cannot guarantee that they will crawl all the pages on a particular site. However, Google are always working to increase the number of pages crawled and hope to include more pages in the index soon. For more information about how Google find and include pages in the index please read Google’s Technology Overview.

If your site’s internal link structure does not provide a path to all your pages, the Google robot may not see all the pages on your site. Google follows links from one page to the next, so pages that are not linked to by others may be missed.

Basically, you can’t buy your way into the actual search results. You can however, purchase advertising adjacent to Google results.
