Going beyond the dial tone

Over the past several years we have had many clients ask us why we don’t do web hosting. My response has always been that I thought of the web hosting market as highly commoditized. While this remains true, we have partnered with the good folks at Rackspace to provide hosting “in the cloud.” What that means to you is we can provide highly reliable load balanced hosting service and only charge you for what you need, when you need it. No longer do you need to figure out how much bandwidth or storage you need, you simply sign up for an account and get billed for what you use. Pricing starts at $5/mo.

Some important information about our offering:

• PHP 5.2.x support
• ASP 5.6
• CGI/Perl/Python
• .NET 2.0, 3.0, 3.5
• Ability to run crons
• MySQL and MS SQL databases
• FTP services

So please be sure to contact sales and get a detailed evaluation and proposal for your web hosting needs.
