Hello all...
I am curious, should website design be seperate from hosting or is it better for them to be together?

And my main reason for posting, is it a good thing to have a Live Sales option for potential customers (eg. does it help make the sale). I tried searching, but nothing came up helpfull for me. :) Thanks.

I personally think web design and hosting should be kept to different sites. I am not sure why but I always think that when you see a webdesign company that offers hosting, the hosting is just an extra feature. People may be happier to go with a hosting company that concentrates on hosting. My opinion. Regards.

I would first say, to go with that works best for you. So give both of them a try to see what happens.

As for me, having them sperate worked out. I had the hosting on my main site for about 3 months and nobody was ordering. I went and registered another domain name and BOOM! people started to email to ask questions and we have been getting clients. It has been a definate improvement to have them sperated.

Thanks for the replies :D
