Web Hosting Services
A high performance web hosting service is absolutely essential for an effective internet presence. We recognize that downtime is not an option for your servers, therefore we have spent many months researching hosting technologies and companies. Our conclusion is this: the small hosts simply do not have the 'juice' to provide maximum reliability, fast load times, and comprehensive advanced features. This is why we have partnered with one of the highest rated hosting companies in the industry to offer our customers state of the art performance. Detailed information about the servers on which your web site will be hosted is shown below.
What is Web Hosting?
Web site hosting is 'renting' space on a server computer that has large bandwidth connections to the internet. Your web site is uploaded to the server computer and from there it is 'served' to anyone accessing your domain name with an internet connection. The reliability and speed with which your web site is served to the public is directly related to your hosting company's hardware, software, staff, facilities, and internet connections.
Pricing
We currently provide web hosting services only on sites that we have developed. Restricting our hosting services to our design clients only, helps us maintain control over the server load and content, which ultimately results in better hosting performance.
Prices for our web hosting service starts at $100 per year. This allows enough storage and bandwidth for most small to medium sized sites. Pricing for large sites is based on estimated storage and bandwidth requirements.
