Description of Services
All You Need Is Right Here

Building a Web site is similar to constructing a building. How much space do you require for your creation? How much traffic will pass through the site? What kind of functionality do you need for this structure?

Whatever level of service you need, I have a plan that is right for you. I offer three Web Site Hosting plans to accommodate a wide range of needs. Add-On services may be applied to customize any of the Web Site Hosting plans.

All services are catered to fit your needs and complement any existing services that you may have with other Web businesses. I specialize in transferring Web sites to my services and reducing your costs in the process.

Consulting Includes the Following Services:
  • Web Site Domain Name Registration
  • Web Site Design
  • Web Site Production
  • Web Site Search Engine Optimization
  • eCommerce
  • Programming (Forms, Dynamic Pages, Databases, Bulletin Boards, Page Counters, etc.)
  • Technical Support
  • General Consulting

For establishing an Internet connection through dial-up modem, DSL, cable, or any other Internet connection method, I provide referrals to qualified Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

 
Prices and Rates
Web Site Hosting Plan Pricing

Longer service terms reduce time that must be spent doing account administrative tasks, allowing more time to be spent improving services and addressing client requests. That means you get a significant discount when you make a longer commitment.

The Basic plan is sufficient for most individuals, small businesses and organizations. Larger organizations may need more email accounts, more disk space or greater data transfer capacity. The Standard and Pro plans are designed for businesses that require more resources. Finally the Basic plan is for those who do not require a database, and need limited disk space and data transfer.
