When we first started to fool around with that new-fangled
technology called the Internet, we had lots to learn. Where would we store our
website? How would we upload it? Could we revise it and how often? How
much space would we need and how much would it cost? Ads for Web hosting services
started to appear sporadically in computing magazines. They offered scant services
and small chunks of storage space. They charged lots of money, too. Since
there weren't many options at that time, we chose to store our website at a hosting
company in Canada. They wanted 50 bucks a month for 50 megs of storage space.
The deal didn't sound half bad so we signed up and stayed with them for a year and a
half. We were disappointed, however, that tech support was not available in the
evening or on the weekends.
Suddenly there was an abundance of new hosting
companies offering deals that were much more competitive. It was hard to
differentiate one from another. Their names all sounded alike, their packages were
similar, and picking one company over another came down to eenie-meenie-minie-mo. We
thought our prayers had been answered when we found a company that offered everything
under the sun -- tons of storage space, lots of software goodies, 24/7 tech support, a
money-back guarantee -- all for $14.95 a month! Then we had our first tech support
question. What a nightmare! They wouldn't answer the phones, return our
voice-mail, or respond to any e-mail messages!!! We terminated our agreement, but
they wouldn't give us our money back! Eventually we got our refund, but the
aggravation was unbelievable! The point is, we really learned a lot. We had to
do it the hard way, but because we did, you won't have to. We're here to give you
the benefit of our experiences and help you find your way.
There are lots of companies out there who offer
"complete" web packages. They provide hosting, web development and design,
and promotion and marketing services. Hosting involves a multi-million dollar
investment in hardware, high-speed communications equipment, expensive software, and
technicians to install, support, and maintain it all. Web development requires
professionals who have a technical background in HTML, programming, graphics design,
animation, multimedia, and e-commerce, who can combine demanding software skills with
artistic talent, a tough combination. Promotion involves professionals who have an
in-depth knowledge of Internet marketing strategies with the experience and track record
to make it all work for you. Can companies who offer all this really excel and in
all three areas? We think not.

building awesome websites. We do the development and leave the hosting to the
