What do we look for in a good hosting solution?

If you have a quick look around the internet you will find hosting services vary quite considerably.

We choose to use Unix, the world's most reliable and trusted platform for web site hosting providers.

Upon the Unix platform we install cPanel, the "control panel" that contains all the controlling features of your website such as creating email addresses and access to other important web applications used to run and maintain your web site.

With cPanel we can create a web site, email addresses, password protect folders or install web applications such as forums or blogs. View more about cPanel.

We use cPanel as it is an organisation that wins the loyalty of customers around the world by providing feature-rich applications backed by a team of developers, technical support engineers and quality assurance experts that provide stable builds.

 

Hosting Additions :

Dedicated IP address - $45 per year

SSL Certificate - $199 per year

SQL Database's - $10 per month per database.

Web Applications can be installed though Fantastico. One SQL data base is required for each application.

 

The Brisbane Data Center is our choice for deployment of your web site.

We host our web sites on a server at the Brisbane Data Centre, Australia (and have a back up in Seattle USA).
