Web Hosting

We have completed your web design and web development and all is looking good, so let's discuss hosting. Web hosting is not about finding the cheapest host for your pages, it's about matching a cost effective host, combined with services to match your needs. You're leasing electronic office space and as such, you need to be sure that your space is going to be available for your customers to see. Further, should there be an issue, you need this hosting company to be available to facilitate changes necessary as your Maine small business grows. 

Selecting the right web host can be as important as having a steady supply of electricity. If your site is slow, or down, your shop is effectively closed for business.

There are many things to consider in a hosting company, for example:

• what kind of support do they offer
• how much traffic they allow
• what is their availability (up time)
• what kind of email service do they provide (spam protection, POP access, IMAP, etc.)
• how many (parked) domains can you have pointing to your primary domain
• what kind of services do they provide
• what platform do they run on

Fortunately, we will assist you in making this decision. We have our favorites and will share them with you and tell you why. We are also willing to work with other hosting companies as your needs or preferences require.

Once we have your site online, we will begin the formal web marketing process.
