Web hosting

We provide hosting for our custom websites at a flat rate of $20/month.  As a service to you, domain names can be purchased for $10/year.  If you don't understand what this means see our Web Hosting Basics page.

This flat hosting rate provides you with 200 megabytes of server disk space and 4 Gigabytes per month of bandwidth. Yes, other providers often promote much more capacity than this, but that is a marketing technique. Normal websites don’t ever need that much capacity. Our largest sites currently average about 50 Megabytes of storage and most months use less than 2 Gigabytes of bandwidth even with some video on the site.

Under certain circumstances you may need additional storage or bandwidth.  Our websites may on occasion go slightly over their bandwidth limit.  This most often occurs when you have large images or videos and have a surge of visitors.  We typically absorb these overages and temporarily bump up your limit without additional charge.  However if your site begins to sustain higher traffic we will need to negotiate a new monthly rate.

Although 100% up time for every website is our goal, this is dependent on electrical power to our server, etc. Upon notification of any website “down,” in the past we have been able to have them up and running within 1-2 hours and will certainly do our best. We do not guarantee any up- time percentages.

We normally take calls 9am to 9pm 7 days/week and will respond to any phone calls or e-mail messages regarding problems within 24 hours. Most problems on the server are handled by data center staff working 24x7.

Our websites are hosted on a server located in the datacenter of The Planet in Dallas, Texas
