What is Web Hosting?
Web hosting is the server and network infrustructure that physically houses the code, images, and everything that exists on your website. Without web hosting, your website cannot be present on the World Wide Web.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have a web designer and host to have a website?
You DO need hosting. However, there are a number of hosts on the web to choose from. The quality of service will vary. You get what you pay for.
However, you DO NOT need to hire a designer or developer to build your website. There are many tools that allow you to completely build your website from scratch or a template, but they often come with a learning curve and take time to master. I offer services to take the heavy lifting off your plate if you choose.
Here is what you DO need:
-A web hosting provider
-A domain
-Someone to build it (or DIY)
I offer all of the above, but you can choose to piecemeal any of it as you wish. I do not push anyone to choose my own services. My services work great with any 3rd party provider of the above. It’s a preference of choice.
I have no idea what I need for my website. Can you help me choose?
My services are designed for those who either have no idea how to build and host a website or simply do not have the time to deal with it.
I will always recommend the best possible solutions for you and/or your business, but will never attempt to upsell to something you will never need. I offer design, marketing, streamlining processes, and giving a holistic approach for those who simply have no idea where to start.
Where can I view examples of your work?
Is there a contract involved with web hosting?
Web hosting is contract-free. Cancel any time. All web hosting is billed annually forward, but the cost is prorated if you cancel, so you do not pay for what you do not use.
If I choose a new host for my website down the road, can you transfer my website to the new host?
All websites are fully exportable from our server and can easily be imoprted into any new host using cPanel at no cost to you.
What is your pricing and is there a reoccurring fee?
Web design services are a one-time flat rate dependent on the scope of work. Supportive services such as additional enhancements or routine maintenance are available for an extra recurring fee.
Web hosting services are based on monthly rates billed annually. Add-on services are billed annually as a subscription. Your choice.
What form of payment can I use?
I currently accept credit card, debit card, and check payments. Invoices are sent via email.
Why choose you over any major hosting company?
When comparing features and support, the big players will always have more to offer. The truth is, very few people actually use the numerous services the big companies offer, and you get a support service from far away that juggles multiple service requests simultaneously.
I offer myself. There is no masked person behind the curtain. I am a workaholic, so while I may not be available 24/7, I’m super responsive and more available than the average person. I take serving my clients seriously. All client questions or concerns are a top priority.
Beyond support, the services are nearly identical for most hosts, including the smaller guys like myself. I would really appreciate your business as a local hard-working person. I will always tell you where someone else can offer a better service if the occasion arises. You can even choose to utilize SOME services from me, and some from another vender.
