Hosting with no limits

Email 

Once you have a domain name for your website, your next step will be to use that domain name for sending and receiving emails. It simply gives a more professional image to your business.

Many web host will offer you email hosting as an add-on. We do not think that it is a good service to you, the requirements for email hosting being very different than those of website hosting. We do not feel comfortable providing you with a service knowing that it is not the best you can afford.

Instead, UGAL will coordinate the setup of your domain name for email with one of the email host we have relationships with. Our current solution of choice, the one we use ourselves, is Google Apps Fro Your Domain.

Choose the layout of your website 

The layout of your website is one of  your website most important aspect. It needs to be consistent throughout the site so that your visitors feel at home when they navigate from page to page.

Your UGAL website can easily be set (in a click) to use one of the three layouts we support:

  • Logo: your logo appears on top of the page, with the navigation bar next to it.
  • Horizontal Navigation: a banner spans the width of your pages, with the navigation bar underneath it.
  • Vertical Navigation: a banner spans the width of your web pages and a vertical navigation bar is located on the left hand side of your website.
Yes, that's it. Those layouts have been chosen because they are the most common on the web - almost the web standards. They fit 99% of the needs of small businesses websites.
