Hosting Extras

Our specialty is providing right-scaled hosting solutions that fit the needs of your online presence. This includes customizing solutions based on our services, in addition to consulting, management, and integration with third-party services that you may be using now or in the future. Some examples of the hosting extras we provide include:

Cloud-based Email, Contacts, and Calendars
We have partnered with Google so that we can provide your company with advanced messaging and collaboration using Google Apps for Business, using your registered domain name. You will have access to your email, contacts, and calendars from your desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, with real-time over-the-air syncing of data and push-email while you’re on the go. Manage your own filters and vacation auto-responders from any web browser, and even retrieve email from other accounts to unify your inbox experience. Collaborate and schedule meetings with other office personnel, or people on other outside systems, including corporate email systems.

Blogging and Content Management Systems
If you need to blog, or need to have full control of the content on your web site, and you yourself are not a web developer, then you are going to need a content management system (CMS). For many sites, we can retrofit your existing site to be used with common CMS systems such as WordPress or Joomla.  If you need something very specific or tied in with a custom back-end, we can build a custom solution that is no more or less that you need to stay in control of your online presence.

Web Analytics
It’s hard to know what you need to adjust with your web site when you don’t know how people are using it currently. For anyone contemplating online marketing or search engine optimization, it is essential that you hook your site up to advanced web analytics. Otherwise you’re just flying blind.

Domain Name (DNS) Registration and Hosting
We recommend that any customer hosting with us also point their domains to our name servers for the best possible experience. Additionally, many of our customers don’t wish to be bothered with remembering to keep their domain name registration up-to-date, or even know how to handle registration. That’s fine, we can manage that for you. If you wish to handle your own registration, that’s fine, and we still monitor the status of all of our hosted  domains so you can be notified in advance, and never miss a renewal date. Did we also mention that our DNS services promise 100% uptime? That is difficult to beat.

Bulk Emailing Campaigns
There are many providers who specialize in bulk email for marketing campaigns. We can consult to help set you up with the appropriate provider, and work with you to design an email template that matches your branding, and your web site. Coupled with web analytics, you can then monitor the performance of your email marketing campaigns.

And More!
Do you need custom modules installed for your web platform? Do you need special communication with third-party services, WebDAV, MySQL, PHP, ASP.NET, Microsoft SQL, Ruby on Rails, or something else? If it’s custom, we do a lot of that.
