What is web hosting?
Your website lives on a computer with a very fast connection to the internet—a web server. We call companies that run web servers a web host.
Each host has it’s strengths and weaknesses, and we help you determine what will meet your needs. Performance, support, maintenance are often counter balanced by cost and support levels.
We do not see hosting as a profit center, rather it’s a critical need and the cost of doing business online. Our focus is on security, performance, and usability.
As development gets more complex, we gravitate towards web hosts who provide stronger service. Managing cost vs. performance is important to get right.
What does web hosting cost?
We host websites for as low as $15/month. Note that hosting fees can run you hundreds or even thousands of dollars each month, depending on your needs.
What factors might increase hosting requirements?
- Ecommerce sites and websites that perform core business functions or transactions require more security, stronger SSL certificates, and more frequent backups.
- Legal, financial, or healthcare websites require more security and can face penalties for breeches of trust.
- Many sites change daily and the work your team puts into them is critical and valuable. Creating more frequent backup points takes time and disk space, costing you more as well.
- And the more traffic you get and bandwidth and storage you use, the more it costs.
Understanding what kind of hosting and support you need is critical and when we build and manage your website, we help pair the right host and levels of service with your needs.
We’re host neutral and can work with any you choose, but have preferences and decades of experience working with hosts.
