We have two (2) hosting plans.
The difference in the plans is how much help you need in setting up and maintaining your web site. Both services include as much tech support as you may require for resolving issues on the server. In simple terms, the difference between them is, in the first plan, you are responsible for your web site; in the second plan, we are responsible. Both hosting plans feature no locked-in contract; cancel hosting anytime; full refund of any unused months on request.
Each plan offers “unlimited everything” (hosting space, bandwidth, email accounts, tech support, etc.) In each plan, the hosting server is the same, you have the same state-of-the-art Account Manager and cPanel. Account setup is automatic within seconds after your first payment. Of course, if you are transferring your registration, that may require a few extra hours.
Sel
f Managed Hosting is for those who prefer to install and manage their own hosting and web site, as well as manage their own domain name registration. This usually requires knowledge of cPanel as well as web site development and common tools such as HTML, JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, Perl, Photshop, etc. or the installation of one of the popular CMS packages such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, forums or a shopping cart, as well as a working knowledge of PHP, MySQL, TPL. etc. – Prices start as low as $6.00 per month for extended prepay.
Managed Hosting is for clients who need a full-services experience. We will register or transfer an available domain name for you (dotCOM, dotNET, dotORG, dotINFO, dotBIZ, dotUS) free of added charge.
