Basic Hosting Package $7.95

Starter Website

500 MB of server space and 5 GB of bandwidth provides more than adequate capacity for most small to moderate sized sites. Appropriate for individual sites with minimal music or graphic downloads.

Standard Hosting Package $14.95

Artist/Musician

1 GB server space and 10 GB of bandwidth provides for more music or large graphic file downloads. Good for independent musicians and artists getting their cyber-feet wet!

Professional Hosting Package $24.95

Commercial Level

Starting at 5 GB of server space and 25GB of bandwidth, this package is for those who have 'arrived' on the internet. For moderate to large sites expecting lots of downloads. Scalable according to your needs.

A Great Place To Start

If you are unsure about what level to start with, begin here. I recommend that you start with a smaller package and upgrade to a larger package only if there is a need.

The fact is, most people tend to drastically overestimate the amount of space and bandwidth they will need, therefore spending too much and unnecessarily reserving large amounts of unused (wasted!) space. Help me to conserve my hosting resources!

In return, I will work with you by increasing your server space and/or bandwidth allowance incrementally as your needs grow - just let me know what you need. Additional space costs $3 per extra 1 GB. Additional bandwidth is $1 per 1 GB.

What To Do Next

Here is a checklist of what to do to get your website online:

Seven Steps To An Online Presence . . .

1) Design and build your site (or have me do it for you!)
2) Reserve your Domain Name if you don't already have one. (I can help you with this too).
3) Choose the hosting package that best suits your needs. (I recommend you choose the smallest you think you can get away with at first - you can always upgrade later).
4) E-Mail or call me. I will set up your server space upon first month's payment. (I accept PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Direct Debit, Personal Check or Money Order)
5) Point your DNS (Domain Name Server) to my servers. I will provide full instruction on how to do this, or do it for you at no extra charge.
6) Upload your site to my servers.
7) Welcome to the Internet!
