Web hosting

We specialize in the Portland Oregon metro area. We only provide hosting for web pages supported by us.

DESIGN COST	There is a one time fee to design/build your web page. This fee can be as low as $100 for pages hosted by us. It can also be much higher, depending on what you want. Click here to see samples of our work and our standard prices.

1. We reserve the right to cancel any web page that contains offensive material or any illegal or pirated material; as well as any account sending spam or unsolicited emails, or emails containing any of the items described above. Prices and terms subject to change.

2. Alternate domain name would be a second domain name that points/redirects to the primary domain name. There is no additional disk space, email addresses, etc. associated with it. The first alternate domain name is provided for free with Business accounts. Additional alternate domain names can be purchased for $25 per year.

3. Those packages that support sending and receiving emails allow you to send and receive emails from your domain using names such as Bill.Smith@yourdomain com, Bill@yourdomain com, sales@yourdomain com, etc. Instructions are provided for POP3 emails using Outlook Express (other email programs such as Outlook and Eudora can also be used). Web mail interface available. Each email account comes with 250mb of space. Additional email accounts available for only $5/month per email account.

4. Email Aliases: All packages allow you to receive (but not send) emails to your domain that are forwarded to another email account (your gmail, yahoo, aol, msn, hotmail, etc. email account). This allows you to use such names as Bill.Smith@yourdomain.com or sales@yourdomain.com even if your package doesn't allow you to send emails. Each email alias must be requested individually. Email aliases can be very effective, but you do need to be aware of one problem with any email alias. If the email is forwarded to an email address with a different domain then the one contained in the alias (ie: forwarding bill@domain1 to bob@yahoo), then the receiving domain's email server (yahoo's in this example) might tag the email as SPAM. So, if you want to use email aliases, you will need to run a test to insure that the emails are delivered to you and don't end up in a SPAM folder, and if they do you will need to adjust your SPAM settings to allow the emails to be delivered to you.

5. No one likes getting spam. For our BASIC PACKAGE, we use a special process that reduces the amount of spam that you receive. Like almost everyone else, we check incoming mail against a list of known spammers. But spammers manage to get around that process all the time. So, in addition, we use a special initial mail delay technique that stops spammers but allows real emails to get through to you. Subsequent emails come through with no delay. For our BUSINESS PACKAGES, we use SPAM ASSASSIN. Each business account is able to have their settings customized to suit their individual needs.

6. MySQL is a database. Databases are used to create dynamic interactive web sites, such as E-commerce sites. These sites usually have a higher development cost.

7. Additional web support charged at standard rates. Work is charged in 1 hour increments. Business standard rate is $50/hour. Non-profit standard rate is $25/hour. Unused "credits" do not accumulate.

In order to control the content of web pages designed and hosted by us, we do not allow customers to make their own changes or to upload their own files. We handle all of this for them.

Don't buy a higher priced package then you actually need. The majority of our clients use the BASIC package only. When we get together to discuss your project, we can talk about which package is best for you.
