The content of your website is stored in a central database which we manage on your behalf. The WebPresence software which is installed on your computer is your key, if you like, to your information on the server. The only way that WebPresence can gain access to your information is if you are online. Whenever you add to or update your website in any way, that information is sent directly to the server via your internet connection.

The best time to modify your site is after hours when an hour online costs about R10. This is really inexpensive if you consider that a development company would charge a few hundred per hour to modify your website.

Telkom also offer a R7 capping service after hours whereby you only pay R7 for being online from 7pm - 7am.

Not only can you, but it is advisable to prepare your content in advance to minimise the amount of time you spend online. For articles, you should type them out completely first and then simply cut and paste the text into the article editor. (using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V).

For more detailed information see the WebPresence Help.
