Who are these sites for?

Any creative individual who would like to promote themselves and their work on the Internet. Most artists us the site as a multi page promotion, a way for them to be contacted by a global audience and include images and text which will not need changing very often.

Are there any extra fees I should know about?

Sites are 99p per page per month, which is a remarkably good deal. We add an tiny, one time, set up fee of £9.99 to your first payment. You will also need to register your own domain name to connect to your new site. This provides you with a professional web address which YOU own and can move to other hosting companies if you ever get tired of the artshot.net! We show you how to register your domain (It really is easy - honest) and give you advice on choosing a great name. Then, once your site is ready, you simply click on a few links and point your spanking new web address to your wonderfully new web site. If you need to change any information on your site there is a charge of £9.99 for as many changes made at the same time! That's it. No hidden costs, no long term contracts just a great site for a great price.

How can I pay?

You can pay, online, using any major credit or debit card. Transactions are processed over a secure connection so it is safe and simple. If you choose to subscribe monthly your card will be debited, automatically, each month until you tell us you would like to stop. If you pay annually your card will be debited each year.

Is there a long term contract?

No! You can cancel at any time. We will then simply delete your site, cancel your subscription and say goodbye. If you take advantage of our even better price, by paying annually, and would like to cancel your site before the end of the 12 month subscription period we will not provide a refund on any unused months.

Can my pages be updated?

Yes, as often as you like but we do charge a fee for doing this. You can make as many changes to as many of your pages, at the same time, for a single payment of £9.99! So, if you just want to add a new exhibition entry or you need to update your CV, change your statement and swap some of your images, we charge you the same flat fee for making all of the changes at the same time. Save your hard earned cash and make all you changes in one go!

Why are your prices so small?

We have a huge capacity on our network and work with several art collections, galleries and small businesses. They pay a very reasonable commercial rate for their web services on the artshost.net which means we can offer artists a web site (which in the scheme of things only uses a tiny amount of our server space) for a tiny fee. Nice of us or what?

Can I change pages myself?

No - sorry, the price you pay for the professional, non-technical, site means that you cannot have direct access to our server and your pages. If you need to regularly update your site, and are comfortable with the technical side of uploading files (FTP) and designing your own pages, we will be happy to swap your site to a full server package. This will give you access to all aspects of you site, design, layout and content. Start off with one of our multi page sites and then, when you need to , swap it for a full access server. We will even copy your site and content onto the new server for you. You can then change things to your hearts delight or scrap the design and make a new one. Complete flexibility is your!
