Web Site Hosting and Maintenance

How do you choose your web site hosting provider?

Here are some of the factors to consider:

Connectivity.

Make sure your hosting provider has enough bandwidth to handle peak traffic flow without a traffic jam at your site.

Reliability.

Does your hosting provider have a proven track record. Make sure they have redundant systems for both connectivity and power. Robust DNS services. Does the hosting company offer robust DNS system? In the event of a partial outage, does the DNS system automatically fails over to another network - without losing a query? Does the hosting company run monitoring scripts on the servers, tracking CPU utilization, traffic, and response time to all services.

Customer Service. 

Does the hosting provider offer the services and features you need now or in the future. Is their technical staff available 24 x 7 so you can get help when you need it.

Hardware/Software.

Do you have specific platform needs? Does UNIX or NT make more sense for you? Does the hosting provider support the applications you need? Applications to look for are: Secure Socket Layer (SSL), RealAudio, Site Statistic, Data base support, Password protection, E-commerce support.

After analyzing your needs and plans we can help you find the most appropriate hosting solution for you. We work with several different  hosting companies covering anything from small website to data base driven e-commerce hosting. 

How are maintaining your site?

Do you need assistance in maintaining your content? Do you want to outsource the content maintenance? Do you want to outsource the technical aspects of your web site? Do you really need a full time, in-house web master?

For many of our clients we maintain all content, maintain and troubleshoot any technical issues that can come up, maintain and operate their email solutions, create and operate their email marketing campaigns, manage our customers emailing lists. For small to midsize company it can be expensive to keep in-house resources to do all these things. Think about outsourcing them. We can also set up some features to make the maintenance easy for non-technical staff. The best maintenance solution depends on frequency and the extent of content changes or additions.
