fiennes.org will host your InForm website for £20 per month. This includes:
We have a reduced rate of £10 per month for people that fall into one of the following categories:
The reduced hosting package is identical to the full package aside from a reduced disk space from 10G to 5G.
Hosting is billed quarterly in advance. Any increases in disk space requirements are calculated on the size of the website at the end of the quarter. If you require larger disk space requirements than the above then we offer upgrades in 5G increments priced at £1/G/month.
Our hosting packages do not include any work done on the website itself. Any support, bug fixes, functionality extensions will be billed at an hourly rate of £42/h billed at the end of each calendar month.
fiennes.org will track all maintenance requests in redmine issue tracking software and will make available a running overview of time used per item on a monthly basis.
If clients wish to prebook regular monthly maintenance then this is possible in 4 hour blocks per month for a minimum period of 1 quarter. These would be billed at £38/h at the end of each month regardless of whether the hours had been filled or not. Any maintenance over the prebooked amount would be billed at £42/h.
While we make every effort to keep data from different clients completed segregated on shared hosting, there may be clients who prefer to know that their website and database is on a different machine to other parties. fiennes.org therefore offers the ability to deploy one or more sites that a client runs on a dedicated digital ocean droplet. The costs for this would be:-
As an example using Digital Ocean pricing in Jan 2025, some monthly package costs with daily backups and admin would be would be:-
Please contact us to talk about what would be the most appropriate droplet configuration if you would be considering moving to Dedicated Hosting.
We will also support the billing for the Digital Ocean assets being in the client’s name. They would have the contract with Digital Ocean and would get billed directly for resource usage. fiennes.org would have an administrative login to the server and would only bill for the £50/month system maintenance and any incurred application maintenance.
Hosting can be terminated given 1 calendar months notice. After this point fiennes.org will refund any unused money from prepaid hosting agreements.
If a client wishes to take a digital copy of the website along with database dumps, static binary assets and source code then this is possible. Time taken to prepare the copy would be billable as would support in setting up an external hosting package under the control of the client’s IT supplier.
