| The concept of website hosting is quite simple; it puts your business online. After we design a website, all of the content is sitting on a computer. In order for the entire world to be able to see that content, it has to be published to a host. You can either have your web hosting on a server in-house, or use a 3rd party to host. All of our web hosting services are 3rd party, so you can rest assured that traffic can always find your business website site through the search engines. What is not so simple about hosting is the cost. Some companies charge as much as $50 / month for hosting, and others boast hosting at $1.99/ month online. The expensive hosting costs can at times be associated to added features, but most of the time they are just keeping the extra money you could be using to run your small business. The cheap hosts claim low rates, but there are hidden fees. For example, a host we will not name claims $1.99 / month hosting. In the end, if you want unlimited hosting without their ads, you'll end up paying $12.74 / month for the year, as well as many hidden fees for features which we offer free. All of our hosting is done at one flat rate, $10 / month, and we'll even throw in a free domain name and email accounts. If someone else is holding your domain, we can try to help you transfer it to an account in your name. We have no hidden fees, and regardless of what features you want, that price will never change. Also, the $10 / month that you are paying to host your site also comes with all of the tech support you'll ever need to keep your site running smoothly. |
