Why is the Online Service especially useful for web sites on hosted servers?

Normally web hosting companies will charge for the space used or will have a space restriction. The Postcode database consists of 28.3 million address records and therefore takes up a lot of space. The online service means we host the data. The way the service works means there is no need to obtain ISP or web host permission prior to adding Postcode Internet Online to web pages or forms.

What makes the online service so ideal for e-commerce providers and e-stores?

A lot of organisations establishing a web presence want the benefits of consistent, accurate address data and easier form fill, without being tied to the usual annual contract. Online lets them do exactly that.

Why do Web Designers incorporate Postcode Internet Online?

Postcode Internet Online supports the web designer’s aim of making e-commerce, online shopping etc enjoyable and simple. Buyers merely enter the postcode and the street address is automatically completed - quickly!

How does it work?

The Online enabled web page sends the address search or lookup request to the AFD Postcode-Everywhere server which instantly completes the address and returns it in XML format - ready for use and display - any way you choose. The web browser is even unaware that a "conversation" has taken place with the AFD Postcode Internet Online Server.
