Hosting

 

My design services come with premium hosting as well as domain registration and free domain renewal (while you host with me).  My ‘unlimited bandwidth & server space’ has only a few limitations, click here to read them.  At this time, I do not sell hosting except as packaged with my design services. 

My UNIX hosting includes cPanel, the industry leader in hosting control panel software. The newest version cPanel11 is the most extensive update ever and allows you to  manage features such as passwords, backups, subdomains, site traffic stats, and more.

Unlimited Space and Bandwidth ‘Exclusions’
 
Normal use and the popularity of your site is a reason to be happy… and I’m happy as well!  I will ‘fit’ you with a package and it will grow with you as your site grows. 
 
While I have not had a problem yet with these things, it has occurred to me that there are a few instances that will ‘negate’ the unlimited disk space and bandwidth. 
  • Not properly ‘scaling’ (72 dpi) photos for viewing on the web.  The larger the photo (not width and height but ‘dots per inch’), the longer your site will take to load.  Rule of thumb, don’t upload from your camera, use a free or inexpensive photo editing program and *then* upload them.
  • Using your site to host videos.  I recommend you stream your YouTube video through your site easily (and quickly) and not bog down your site (it will run faster and double as online advertising if you ‘tag’ your video properly in YouTube).
  • Using the site primarily for ‘online storage’ — I don’t offer this service.  Certainly store documents and photos to be linked to, but do not use it for backup of your home computer for instance or you may incur additional hosting fees.

If you are looking to do these types of things, contact me to discuss it.  Otherwise, don’t worry about it, I haven’t had a problem yet.  I am just looking to cover myself in the ‘worst case scenario’ of a hosting customer… I am descended from five generations of NY lawyer, so it is most like in my DNA to include this disclaimer,
