There was a time when it was possible for a small company like us to start up a hosting business. Those were the days when hosting space was being sold at $40/month, bandwidth, disk space, and all the rest of the bells and whistles were very limited, and almost anyone with the right knowledge and selling ability could make a bit of a profit.
Today, hosting is so cheap that just about everyone can afford it. Some of the reasons for this include:
- Technology trends. As with most new technologies, over time, prices will generally go down while at the same time, the quality goes up. Server hardware just keep getting cheaper and better.
- Competition. As with most products, price will be one of the biggest factors in a consumer's decision to purchase. Just a few years ago, some companies began offering hosting packages at less than $10/month, which forced other companies to also lower their prices or risk losing customers to the cheaper solutions. Now, you can find hosting space for as cheap as a few dollars a month, including unlimited storage space and unlimited bandwidth.
Since there are so many good, reliable, and low priced hosting options out there now, it no longer makes any sense for us to try to run a hosting business in unison with our other Web services. Instead, we have partnered with some excellent hosting companies that we're sure will be great choices for you. They are as follows.

Moving your site to another server
If you need help moving your website to a new server after you've purchased a new hosting package, we have a lot of experience with moving all kinds of sites. The process usually involves backing up your site and it's database(s) (if it has one), connecting to your new server through FTP, and then uploading your files and setting up the database(s) — everything as it was on your old server.
Prices start at $50 for a basic site, and will be more depending on how complicated your old site setup was, and if databases will need to be recreated, programs reinstalled, and permissions reset.
