We provide advice, consultation and implementation of your Web host account. We are not a Web host company or a Web host reseller therefore you pay for your Web host fees at cost. In the case of a new Web site, we will make the arrangements to set up the new Web host account for you at no extra cost to you. If, in the case of an existing site, you require a transfer to a new Web host, we will handle the move on your behalf as an option.
 
Our opinion:
Obviously there will be exceptions but generally people that tend towards server and hardware management should not be the same company that does your site design, organization and programming and vice versa. They are two different mind sets. You will most probably be well served in one area and not the other if the same group does both. We do the site design and leave the server management with another company that specializes in professional Web host management. We will make our recommendations and will work with them on your behalf but we will leave the server setup and management to our recommended Web host, that offers:

 


  • Highest quality web servers
  • Strict physical security
  • Highest network speeds available
  • Web-based Control Panel
  • Extensive online help
  • Anti-virus and Spam Filtering
  • Protection from flood, fire and electrical outages
  • Redundant Internet connections
  • Web-based email account administration
Quality of Web servers? Physical security? High network speeds? Control panel? Online help? Anti-virus software? Spam filtering? Protection from flood, fire and electrical outages? Redundant Internet connections? Email account administration?Our experience has found one particular Web host company that we highly recommend. Web Hosts vary in price depending on the level of service you require from the Web Host. The recommended Web Host company offers no telephone technical support but it has not been a problem communicating by email and allows a low rate of $19.95 / month including database connectivity and shared secure server, required for secure credit card transactions. We've been happy with our service from this Web host company since 1999.

No Web host can promise 100% up time but we've found this Web host is just out there and working for you most of the time. With the recommended Web host, too, you are not under any time agreement if you go with the month-to-month plan and, therefore, you have complete flexibility to move to another Web Host company should you choose to do so for any reason. We don't expect you will want to.
