Web hosting

Choosing reliable web hosting servers

We have tried many web hosting providers and got disappointed due to slow, frequently crashing servers and poor support. It is very hard for an inexperienced user select a good hosting company because all of these companies have fancy web sites and claim that their web hosting services are impeccable.

Server down time is one of the worst enemies of internet marketing as search engines penalize web sites that are frequently unavailable (besides that reader can't access information during down time period).

After many years of searching and trying we have found a reliable space for us in large server rooms that offer fast error recovery, friendly support and enough speed for personal and business website hosting.

Hosting with our web design

We are proud to offer web hosting package with full maintenance. Client usually updates site's content using content management system and we take care of the rest:

  • Make monthly/weekly backups of all files and databases of the website.
  • Periodically check if the site is working.
  • Deal with the problems immediately in case of failure.
  • Create and help to install required e-mail accounts.

Hosting as a separate package

Smooth Step web hosting service is also available as a separate package (without our web design). This kind of service is available on Windows and Linux servers. We will provide initial configuration and support.
