We provide robust packages to assist in the growth of today's online business. Packages start out as little as $4.99 per month and include many of the features not found in other shared hosting providers offerings with features such as control panel, shopping carts and optional features that allow you to expand your business without over sizing your budget.
We have 6 pre configured plans to choose from which can be setup and online within minutes of your order.
All of our plans come with instant setup and we allow you to purchase a domain name and have the whole process automated for you, once your account is setup you can begin building your web site in as little as 30 miniutes!
Your first step is to choose the right package for your online business, many customers have come to us with little or no knowledge or have been looking around the internet and notice that many web hosts often over sell their hosting packages or the available space and bandwidth. To give you the best idea of what you really need you should start out thinking about what you want to accomplish with your site, is it going to be an information site? a site with many pictures? will you offer downloads? will you be running any web scripts? do you need a database?
To help you decide what you need we have created a table which will first show you how much space you will need.

As you can see with just a little bit of space you can fit a lot of pictures, sound and files so whats with all these hosts offering so much space? Well it is just a marketing gimmic! over the last few years hosting companies have been trying to gain more business by offering large packages to entice the buyer into thinking they need all this space, granted some web sites do need more space but once you reach the need for over 1 GB of space you should not be on a shared hosting server anyways.
