We can give your site a home on the Web. We don’t pretend to be the cheapest solution out there, but usually the cheapest solutions have hidden costs.

As it says on the front page, we serve a limited clientelle. We're not a big outfit, so we can't really afford to "make it up in volume". Hosting a website means that your information is available to the world, 24/7. Even while you sleep. It's a big job, but we're up to the task ;) Check out the benefits of hosting with us:

Some of the benefits of hosting with us:

• Your site is mirrored on two sides of the continent, and backed up daily. So if an asteroid takes out the west coast, you'll still be able to see your website ;)

• Fast UNIX/Apache servers, running secure and stable software.

• 24/7 server monitoring, physically secure and virus protected.

• Site monitoring: we watch log files to make sure they don’t overload your site.

• Historically 99.9% uptime.

• Plenty of room for your files.

• No limit on bandwidth.

• Multiple POP email accounts (e.g.. Joe@atyoursite.com, comptroller@atyoursite.com)

• No limit on email aliasing

• Cgi-bin (runs bulletin boards, calendar, NewsPro, counters, etc.) Plus someone who can customize the cgi scripts to enhance your site’s interactivity.

 

The rates below are ballpark figures, based on payment in advance on a quarterly basis. Discounts are available for prepayment. Prices subject to change, yada, yada, etc... These prices assume we're building your site, and doing updates. Yes, you can get your site hosted for less than $10 a month, elsewhere: but you'll be doing the maintenance yourself, most likely...

Hosting will be billed on first full month that site is “live”. Price includes minor updates (price changes, new picture of the baby, etc.). But additional pages after site is “wrapped” will be quoted separately @ $65/hr.

Most of our hosting includes a bit of updating, in case you want to add a link, or change out a picture, or change a price or two. However, the addition of numerous pages after a site has been "wrapped"(see the fine print), or a redesign of the site, will be billed at $45/hr, with a $25 minimum.

If you would like to handle your own updates, just let me know, and I'll arrange for you to have FTP access, or access through a browser-based interface.

If you're going to be doing a fair amount of changes to the content, but not the appearance of the site (like a daily or weekly menu change for a restaurant), there is also the option of a CMS, or Content Management System such as NewsPro or Moveable Type. There's a bit of up front expense, but you can keep information current without paying us for lots of updates. See our Creative Services page for more details.
