Web Site Services
DEFINITION: Hosting a web site means the same thing as providing space (hard drive space to store your text, graphics, and other files) on an internet server. An internet server is one or more computers with software that makes files available for anyone around the world to see and /or hear, by use of (typically) a high speed network connected to main internet backbones with fiber optic cables.
Netizen Studios is a web site design, development, and website maintenance shop, and value added reseller of internet server space*. We have done the research to find the best values in hosting from some major providers in terms of:
- Reliability
- Speed
- Options
- Prices
We have found major providers that have a professional 24 hours/day, 7 days/week technical staff to monitor the state of the art internet server computers. They all have multiple high speed/high bandwidth connections to more than one internet backbone and many years of experience.
We lease wholesale-priced blocks of space from various providers in order to offer packages that fit the different needs of our clients. Our providers will not undersell our prices, and you will probably not be able to find a better value in full-featured hosting. For those that are new to the internet, we can also offer consulting, recommendations, or complete site designs including installation and maintenance.
Our Business and Corporate plans include the ability to have a presence with a name that you decide, such as: yourdomain.com. You can get a web site with just about any name, if it is still available.
If you do not have a registered domain name, you will need to decide on one and see if it is available. We can do the actual registration for you if need be. The yearly domain name registration fee is not included in our hosting prices; and you will be billed directly from your Registrar, such as NetworkSolutions.com. You can see if a name is still available by going to the "whois" page at networksolutions.com , for example. If you already have a registered domain name, you will deal only with your registrar for future registration fees.
* To be more accurate, Netizen Studios is a sub-lessor of web site hosting, and a web site design & maintenance service provider. We get a wholesale bulk-rate on hosting multiple web sites, by providing direct support to our clients, billing our clients, and setting up options and configurations. All of our web site hosting is operated as a "leased space" type of service.
