Hosting

Web Site Hosting is an important part of effective Web Site Design.

To design a web site that provides what your business demands, it is essential that we have direct control over the servers that host your site. This control enables us to install whatever software is required on the server to support your web sites needs. A company that provides web site design without web site hosting only provides half of what you need for an effective web site. We provide both.

The most common complaint we get from new customers is that they cannot find the person who designed their site. They need the web site updated, but do not know how to access it, who the registrar is and sometimes, even where it is hosted.

When we host your web site, you have an on-going relationship with us. We never get "lost", disappear or become hard to find. When you need changes made, we are right there to do them, and all of the smaller changes are part of your hosting cost.

DNS Services

As your host, we also provide DNS services. This allows us:

• To direct more than one domain name top your web site. If you have more than one domain name, or multiple types - .com, .net, .org etc. - for your domain name, we can point them all to your web site so that your customers can always find you.
• We can provide third tier names. For example:
  • www.your domain.com
  • support.yourdomain.com
  • sales.yourdomain.com
  • service.yourdomain.com
• You can choose whatever you want as the third level.

Statistics

When you have a web site that provides no visitor demographics or marketing information, you have a blind site.

Sure, you can have a hit counter, but a single visitor can generate many hits on your home page and you learn nothing about who they are. Our statistical information, included with your hosting, provides a lot of information about visitors to your web site. These are some, but not all, of the statistics you can track.
