How
much ?
Once we set up your site, you will have 3 weeks to assess whether you want the
site or not. If you don't, then you can just walk away. If you do, then we will
ask you for £9.50 (GBP) per year, this will cover the up-keep and the
hosting of the site, any profits we make, will help with the running and
maintenance of our club.
As we are still developing the site, we have waved all fees until Aug 2005, so
register for a site, its free until then.
Will
this increase ?
Hopefully not, we're not in it to make millions, just to get some money in so
our club can get by.
How do
we pay ?
We would prefer you use our secure on-line site. We use the most popular
payment site WorldPay, which has a very high level of security. If you'd prefer
not to use this, then we can supply you with our address and you can send us a
cheque.
How do
we register ?
Simply click on the Regsiter option and fill in the form. We will then use
these details to create your site and inform you of when its done, which should
be a fairly quick turn around.
Do we
have to pay there and then ?
No, we will give you a 3-week period to assess the site, you can go in and have
a good play around and if you don't like the site, you can just walk away.
What
happens if we don't pay ?
If no payment is received, may it be the initial or renewal payment, and then
the site will transfer you to a payment notification screen.
What
happens if we just forget to pay by accident ?
Your site won't be removed, it'll just be suspended, and so once you've made us
the payment, we can then reset it for you.
You will be notified via eMail when the site is suspended.
Will we
need to buy a web address (URL)?
No, not really. Your site will be www.club-sites.com/your-club and
search engines will find you and other clubs can also link to you.
But if you need your own identity then you can buy one and then all you need to
do is to point it at your page.
What if
we already have a web address (URL)?
Then all you need do is point it at www.club-sites.com/your-club.
Will
search engines find us ?
There will be a direct link to your site from our homepages but they won't find
you right away.
Search engines only update themselves every few weeks. To help them find you,
you can ask other clubs and sites to link to you. One popular and free option
to help people find you is the
Open Directory Project. If you add your site here, numerous
search engines including Google, AOL, All the Web, AltaVista, HotBot, Lycos and
Yahoo will then pick it up. You just go to the most suitable category and use
the "add URL" option to add your site, some editors are a bit slow to add them
though.
i.e. the "Clarence AFC" has been added to "Top: Sports: Soccer: UEFA: Wales:
Lower Divisions".
As an example, why not click on the Google logo and see how we rate on their
search engine.
