Web Hosting Services
A
web host is a company that provides you
with server space for your web site, including all of the files
associated with your site. When your web address is typed in
a browser, the web host serves up the files pages.
Things to consider when choosing where to host your website:
-
Where are the servers?
Many web developers will arrange for your web hosting. It's
important to know that you have right to choose who you do that
business with. Oftentimes, the server that your site is with
may actually be in another part of the country, or even out of the
country.
At CharlesWorks, ALL of our servers and infrastructure is on
site, making us available to our clients as needed, at any time of
day.
-
Costs
Our costs are comparable with other hosting companies, but our
personal service is priceless. Cheap hosting also
often comes with little or no service, but providing opportunities
for advertisers. We at CharlesWorks know and care about our
clients and make ourselves available for them with round the clock
service.
What is a referral worth to you? At
CharlesWorks, we actually refer our clients to
those needing their services every opportunity
we get. That simply doesn't happen with the big
companies where clients are simply anonymous
account numbers for the most part.
-
Options
We supply services on both Windows and Linux platforms.
Our servers will support sites created using HTML, .net, ASP, or
PHP. We also handle most Content Management
Systems, and MySQL database driven systems.
-
Back up
In case of power outages, lost data, equipment failure, hacked site,
does your current web hoster maintain a backup of your files?
At CharlesWorks, we back up ALL of our websites on a regular
basis for those unforeseen circumstances.
-
Contracts
We do not require contracts on any of our services. We
feel that by providing quality service to our clients, contracts are
certainly unnecessary.
-
Server space
500 megabytes of server space is provided for most websites. If more is
needed, we of course will provide that.
-
Stats
"Stats" is commonly the web slang word for web
statistics. It is simply seeing how often a web
site is being used. More sophisticated stats
software helps the user understand from where
the visitors came from as well.
On Windows platforms, we provide our clients with access to their log files and stats so
that they can monitor traffic to their site using the popular
AWStats software.
On Linux platforms, we provide the popular Webalizer software to
monitor website traffic.
On any platform, the user can always choose to
install and use Google Analytics into their
website coding as well.
-
Support
CharlesWorks provides down to earth, friendly support, avoiding
technical jargon! We like our clients to feel comfortable
calling us with questions or for help, without their having to feel
like they ever have to be a web guru!
Our best testimonials are received as a result
of our service. People want someone to talk to
who they are confident will talk to them and
genuinely interested in helping them resolve
problems when they arise. That's what we do.
