Total Solutions

Once you have your web space, you may need a little extra help to build up your community. We offer a selection of services which will enhance your web site and build up your community.

FREE - Hosted Message Forum

A message forum allows visitors to your site to discuss issues, ideas or just to chat. We can host a free forum (or more!) for you. You can even have a private forum which only vistors chosen by you can see. We will also edit the style of the forum to blend with your site.

• Free message forum using vBulletin.
• Moderate your own forum.
• Make you forum private if you want!
• Send Private Messages to other users of your forum
• Style designed to blend with your site.

Community Portal Script

To make the process of updating your web site as simple as possible, many free scripts have been developed. One of these is called "ASPNuke". Don't be put off by the name, it really is a very good script. It allows you to add, edit and remove content from your site without much technical knowledge. You can even set up accounts for other users to allow them to also add, edit or remove pages from your site.

• Create your web portal without any technical knowledge.
• Add links, photos, news items and articles.
• Build a FAQs list.
• Choose from a variety of styles

Fore more information about ASPNuke or to download you own free copy, check out their web site.

You can download your own copy for free and install it yourself on web space hosted with Consortium.Uk.Net. If you don't want to install it yourself, we can do it for you for just £25. Click the Order Now button to order your installation.

AMAT lite - Total Content Management

If a free script isn't what you're looking for, why not try Consortium Hosting's own Content Management System? Consortium Hosting have developed a powerful content management system which gives you full control of your web pages. You can add, edit and remove as many pages as you need with absolutely no technical knowledge. How is this possible? Well, the powerful yet easy to use content management system "AMAT" makes it possible. Can you type into a box? Then you can use AMAT.

• Add web pages by typing or copying and pasting into a box
• Your pages are fully indexed to provide an accurate site search
• Add users who can log in to create pages
• Add administrators who can approve pending pages
• Upload images and place them into your pages
• Upload files to attach to pages
• Set start and end dates for web pages
• And much more...

AMAT lite is offered to customers who have hosting on our reduced rate space at the special, low cost, price of just £200.

msRose - News Management

Sometimes a full blown content management system is more than you need. In some cases, most of your web pages will not change but you still want to be able to post the latest news quickly and easily. Consortium Hosting have developed a news management system called "msRose" for just this purpose. And just like AMAT, it requires absolutely no technical knowledge.

• Add news items by typing or copying and pasting into a box
• Your news items are fully indexed to provide an accurate site search
• Add users who can log in to create news items
• Add administrators who can edit and remove news items
• Upload images and place them into your news items
• Display full news articles or a news preview
• Create multiple news categories

The usual price for msRose is £350 but for customers with the reduced rate hosting, we can offer msRose for just £65! That's a saving of over 80%!

IRC Chat Room For Your Web Site

Many community web sites have chat rooms. If you have a chat room on IRC and want a simple way for visitors to your site to join in the chat, we can provide a free Java Applet.

The Applet can connect to any IRC server but, unfortunately, we can't help you set up your IRC chat room. There are many guides for setting up an IRC room on the web.
