Domains - domains are an additional cost of $15 per domain per year. The above prices only refer to webhosting prices.
Cpanel - is a basic shared
server, it offers many programs, and is easy to administer. However,
it is slow because the Database is a shared DB. Cpanel, is a good
choice if you want a easy user interface. However, it is much slower
because it is additional hardware running on top of Apache and PHP.
We do offer this hosting however, many often find it slow, and end up
upgrading to our premium hosting.
Cpanel offers a shared mail hosting,
which has many exploits that spammers use to both send mail, and they
are riddled with spam after a year or so of use. We have a shared
cpanel server, and it offers a good value for end users. But our
other servers offer much more value for the dollar.
Personal - Many users only
need a few webpages to start a site. They don't need databases, and
only a email account or 2. We have created the personal level
webhosting for those users. We have added php free to the account.
For many users this is the ideal hosting setup on the market.
Basic VPS- Basic offers 1
unrestricted Database, 1 GB of storage, 10 GB a month of bandwidth
transfer, and 500 MB of mail storage. (IF you have a Database driven
site, such as Joomla, Gallery, Moodle, Drupal, etc, this is the
service for you)
Premium VPS- For those who need
more than a GB of storage, or more than 500 MB of email storage, this
is the account for you.
Additional - Need more space
than what is offered? Offer additional bandwith, storage, and DB's,
at an affordable rate. However, not many websites will ever need
anything more than the Basic hosting requirements.
Cpanel vs our VPS (Virtual Private
Servers) - cpanel basically uses a shared server technology.
This means that they often put 1,000 websites onto a server, they
give huge quotes about how much they can give you, and then those
1,000 websites, are competing for the exact same resources. The
majority of the sites will never use half of the resources quoted,
but those that do, are then asked to upgrade to a VPS. A virtual
private server account then usually runs $60-100 dollars a month.
We do not like this theory, and only
sell what the user needs. We run dedicated machines, to share the
burden of fewer sites on to them. For example, dedicated Database,
mail and hosting servers. We only put on to the machines about 50% of
what they can hold, to not strain the severs, and we do not upsell
you, you can at anytime upgrade your server contracts. A dedicated
machine, really has less going on, and can run its fewer processes
much quicker, than a shared server.
If you have only a few pages of HTML on
a server, you do not need anything fancy, and our personal server
will fit your needs well, so we don't charge you extra for things
that are not needed. On the other hand if you want a Database driven
website, you will find that much a shared server cannot keep up with
the demands that you put it under, therefore a VPS will be a better
choice.
Premium Mail - Offers 2 level
spam filtering, Pop/IMAP/ Secure SMTP mail server. Incredible
webmail, Unlimited mail Transfer. Easy user management, best mail
server on the market.
Backup - We offer a unique
backup service. We run a mirrored server, for instant backup in case
of drive failure, but we also run a daily backup which stores all the
info on the server for 7 days. Each day we take a backup of the
website. The backup isn't written over for 7 days. E.G. We have a
Monday backup which isn't written over until the following Monday, a
Tuesday backup, a Wednesday backup, a Thursday backup, a Friday
backup, a Saturday Backup, and a Sunday backup. (A 1 GB account
quickly grows to 8 GB of storage, however, this service helps to
prevent accidental data loss for our customers, and many have found
it invaluable)
