It should work :confused:


I-Web are great :tu:

You can choose a domain name of your choice, although the cost is separate to the hosting.

You can either buy a domain name from somewhere like http://www.123reg.co.uk/, & point it towards I-Web's nameservers, or you can get the name via I-Web directly.


If you don't want to pay for a domain name, I believe I-Web also offer hosting where you simply have a sub-domain within i-web. I think Incognitas has that.

yeah but i still have the same problem as before

Re: NTL webspace..let me in!!
 

I have paid for a domain name from 123reg and have been invoiced for this, just checked and it has an holding page. So I now thought about signing up with I-Web-Solutions to take advantage of Cable Forum member discounts, however when I go to order I notice that the page where you enter your personal details and credit card details is not encrypted with SSL. i.e. it doesn't have padlock at the bottom of the screen and when I right click properties it says it's not encrypted. Am I being over cautious, but I thought that any page were you have to enter your personal details and Credit Card number should be SSL??? :Yikes:

Re: NTL webspace..let me in!!
 

when I paid for my hosting account with I-Web, it was via Pay-Pal and was definitely SSL encrypted - I wonder whether it might be to do with the problems that Pay-Pal have been having, rather than I-Web, themselves?

- you did the right thing by not risking your details, without being sure they were safe, though :)

Re: NTL webspace..let me in!!
 

iweb don't take credit cards, paypal or cheque? Most websites don't go secure until you have got to the input card details page (which I web don't have!).

Re: NTL webspace..let me in!!
 

That doesn't make them sound like a company you should use.
It makes them sound like the nigerian scammers ;) "send us your bank account number and we will give you money"
I would not deal with any company online that does take credit cards or paypal, it is the only way you have any sort of insurance when buying online.

Re: NTL webspace..let me in!!
 

urm.... i-web do take paypal....

and with regards to SMharman's comments.... you can use Paypal to pay with a credit card.

I have 4 domains hosted with i-web and have had excellent service :tu:

Re: NTL webspace..let me in!!
 

I wrote that badly didn't I. It should have said...

Iweb don't take credit cards. They take pay pal or cheque, both are done offline of the initial order capture transaction. The capture transaction creates an electronic invoice which you settle by mailing in a cheque or by sending a paypal payment to them. Whenever you send a cheque to someone you are sending your bank account details to them. This does not make cheques insecure. Signing a DD mandate to a company you were unsure of (some think this of NTL) would open your account to them, but to get DD collection authority you need to be vetted by the bank doing the processing so are going to be legit.

So if you want to pay by credit card you will be handing your cc details over to paypal not iweb.

I've 3 sites hosted and about 15 domains (pointed to) them, they've been great and respond to support tickets promptly too. Reliable email with spam trapping too.

So they do take paypal, i've never used the PP option but sent in cheques. TBH i can afford to take the £9.95 hit if I get scammed. They are distance selling compliant and their website has full contact details etc. I've sent them three cheques so far, and had no problems.

Remeber it's this .co.uk not one of the many similarly named competitors/site developers.

Re: NTL webspace..let me in!!
 

Just an update I did get a little confused, indeed you are correct; i-web took my paypal payment and promptly invoiced me for this.

I was probably getting a little paranoid when I went to that personal details page sign-up and it wasn't encrypted, you never know who could be lurking out there looking at what your looking at :Yikes:

Anyway I am now signed up with i-web and and took advantage of the discount deal for Cable Forum members. :)

So NTL Webspace was no good to me, because I could not choose my individual and unique domain name.

P.S. Is it easy to get i-web who now host my website to point to my 123reg domain name???

Re: NTL webspace..let me in!!
 

Sent you a PM.

Re: NTL webspace..let me in!!
 

It is indeed.... logon to your account with 123reg and change the name servers (dns servers) to the ones that i-web supplied you. nb it may take upto 48 hours for the domain name to resolve to your iweb hosting.

Re: NTL webspace..let me in!!
 

Thanks again guys, I've now done this. :D

Re: NTL webspace..let me in!!
 

how are you getting on? :)
