£21 a month quickly adds up - you could get a pro site cheaper if you figure the cost over a couple of years,..

A lad I know paid vistaprint for a site. Guess what they did?  Copy and pasted ALL of my telfordwindowcleaner site cos it was top of google for all his search terms!  I wrote to him and vista to tell them they were in breach of copyright and told them to remove the site, which they had to.

If you want to pay someone £21 per month to copy, paste and host, I'll do it! ;D

  iv only once had a problem with vista in all that time and got it cleared up quickly on the phone- tho unluckily the call centre was in Barbados which cost me bigtime as i was ringing on a mobile

2 years! Good grief that's a long time!

 I would say that a well managed Adwords campaign will cost about £30 per month, but will bring in a LOT more work than a website on page 2 of google. You are in the top 3 on page 1 every time nearly.

I would do that more than pay vista for a site. But for £300 I got a site built, hosted for a year and top of the organic listings of google within 6 weeks. That's much better value than vista.

How did VP copy and paste your website stuff?
The person paying for the website does all the site content
VP just publish and submit it.
I have the full package with them and like the fact that I can
go online and change it round to my hearts content anytime
I want.
It's easy to use even putting vids on is a piece of p*ss.
They submit you to loads of free search engines.
They really help you to optimise your site because if you get
poor rankings they know you'll leave them.
The odd times I've needed customer support I have resolved
the issue in minutes.
Their business cards are pants though now I compare them
with the pro ones I had done in June, thought they were the
bees knees till I saw the pro ones.

Yeah i know its took a long time, but when i first started out i didnt have the spare cash to shell out on website promotion and stuff, just wanted a website really to put on my business cards.
