Includes things like: web hosting, website administration, server managment, domain name registration.
Every website needs three things: code to make it happen, a name to point to it, and somewhere to put it. This is usually a quiet server running in a basement somewhere maintained by a small army of geeks ready to kill all the things that go bump in the night. There are also other tasks you may need help with... registration of your domain name, for example, or keeping your website up to date. Some people know how to update a website themselves, and prefer to do so. Other folk just want to give someone a disk and say, "my photographer says there are photos on here. I need them on my website." Those people need administration.
The music industry has always required high bandwidth content; so you want fast, reliable servers. We use Linux Apache, the industry standard for reliability (although you can even wuss out and get a Windows Server if you want). If you need things like database integration, Cold Fusion, ASP, PERL, PHP, Python, Ruby... it's all here.
PREMIUM HOSTING
The biggest difference with our Premium Hosting and that of other hosting providers is we don't just give you some strangely routed IP address and a few megabytes on a harddrive. These are fully-functioning independant websites with a great user control panel, subdomains, mailing lists, forums, shopping carts, even a webmail portal... tons of features. You can control virtually every aspect of your website.
SIMPLE HOSTING
Then again, sometimes you don't need the bells and whistles. Perhaps you're a web designer and already know what to do with some space and an ftp account. Maybe you already have a forum elsewhere or an email address on Yahoo and just need a lot of space to put up a few pages and all your mp3s and videos. That's what Simple Hosting is... big space, real cheap.
The basics for hosting are compared below; and if you have any questions, please ask. Other services such as administration, are priced on a per job basis. Contact us with all inquiries.

** We do offer Windows Server hosting, and we even used to have a table like the one above. But... no one ever asks for them. That's partially because Linux is better at these things, and mostly because Windows completely sucks ass at these things. From experience, Windows servers have 10x the downtime and 10x the maintenance of a Linux server. They are incredibly sensitive to viruses, and generally just bitch and complain the whole time like Marvin from The Hitchiker's Guide. If you still need one for ASP, Access or some other integrated web application we can set one up for you... but please contact us for a quote.
