long will it take me to build
a website? |

account, can I use it with your
service? |
|
Potentially, you can use our service but would
still be required to set-up a Payment Gateway
through truisticwebhost.com in order to process payments
over the Internet.
A great alternative (and more affordable) to
a Merchant Account is to register
a PayPal account.
| How
will I receive orders from my
customers? |
|
In both cases (Merchant Account
or PayPal) you will receive an
auto-responder (to the Email address you specify)
immediately notifying you of the transaction.
It's this simple: you get the auto-responder
and fulfill the order based on the transaction.
Of course, it is your responsibility to
respond fulfill the order.
| Can
I accept international orders
online using my truisticwebhost.com
merchant account? |
|
Yes. Your customer will be billed based on the
currency he/she has decided to pay in (either
US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Pound Sterling,
Euro or Japanese Yen).
The customer’s credit card company will perform
the currency exchange so your customer will see
the amount in his/her countries currency.
| Can
I use my own web address (or domain
name) with my truisticwebhost.com
site, or do I have to use a web
address that includes truisticwebhost.com? |
|
Both options are available to you.
We strongly recommend your own domain name (for
example, www.mycompany.com) as
it looks much more professional and will be easier
to remember for your customers (as opposed to
mycompany.trucareweb.com).You
simply have to have your domain name point to
our servers and we take care of the rest (we can
help you manage this).
If you don’t have a domain name however, you
can still have a domain set up through us temporarily
or as long as you need (for example, mycompany.trucareweb.com).
| If I
already have a web site and would
like to maintain the same design,
can I still use truisticwebhost.com? |
|
Yes. Depending on what’s required, truisticwebhost.com’s
expert design team can modify your web site or
duplicate it to work with our system. Because
there are so many variables to take into account
we charge an hourly fee based on what is required.
In many cases, our award-winning design team
will actually upgrade your design and improve
its functionality in order to augment your
business’ presentation. Before we actually begin
work, we provide you with a firm cost so you can
budget accordingly.
It is also possible to roll this additional cost
into easy-to-manage monthly payments (as opposed
to lump sum fee).
| Can
I connect/link my truisticwebhost.com
web site with another web site? |
|
Absolutely. This is simply called a 'hyperlink',
and you have full control over how many web sites
you link to.
| How
secure is my truisticwebhost.com account? |
|
No one can access your account except for authorized
truisticwebhost.com personnel. Using the same security
measures as online banking, we provide the utmost
in security.
Aside from encryption truisticwebhost.com also has
firewalls in place as well as redundancy servers.
| What
security does truisticwebhost.com
offer for its E-commerce
package (BIZ)? |
|
truisticwebhost.com automatically encrypts your confidential
information in transit from your computer to ours
using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL)
with an encryption key length of at least 128-bits
(the highest level commercially available and
used by all major banks).
In fact, truisticwebhost.com's encryption "scrambles"
your data into a completely illegible format it
cannot be interpreted. Our systems allow
for up to 1024-bit encryption.
| Will
anyone else be able to access
my account details or data? |
|
No. This information is password protected so
only you know your information. We advise our
customers not to share this information with others
and not to use generic passwords like ‘1234’,
your last name or business name.
| Will
my web site always be available
to my customers? |
|
Our customers’ web sites are available 99.5%
of the time. Because we are constantly improving
our service we may temporarily interrupt service
for a few seconds while we add the latest upgrade.
Of course, we always perform this maintenance
during off-peak hours.
At truisticwebhost.com we fully understand how important
reliability is, so we've invested in the appropriate
hardware and the best partners to ensure your
success.
