* = Because I prefer it, Annual Billing gets you a 20% discount over quarterly billing.

At a high level, the basic account is for a single domain that you can generally self-manage (add email accounts, for example) via the cPanel.

Silver and gold accounts are for hosting multiple domains and come with 1 or 2 hours of consulting time per month as needed, in addition to a reduced rate for any additional consulting needed.

Some of the things I do when consulting - simple web page design and updates, home PC IT help, smart phone email setup and configuration, data processing and analysis.


Frequently Answered Questions

  1. The Basic account is generally rigged up for hosting of a single domain. You should be comfortable with managing your own domain via cPanel. I can help, but generally charge for any consulting done (at $60/hour, 15 minute minimum per incident).
    1. Basic accounts can host 1 domain. IE if you have 2 domains, you'll need two silver accounts.
    2. Phone and email support (answering questions about where to go in cPanel to do what you need to do, etc) is free and does not count as consulting time.

  2. Silver accounts include about an hour a month of monitoring, support and other consulting where I can help. In addition any consulting above the given hour is done at a reduced rate ($40/hour).

  3. Gold accounts include about 2 hours a month of monitoring, support and other consulting as well. As with silver accounts, any additional consulting is done at the reduced rate.

  4. Gold accounts include a dedicated IP Address. The rest don't. For a small fee ($5/month) they can be added.

  5. Silver and Gold accounts can host multiple domains for no additional fee. There is a limit to the number of domains I can host.

  6. I am generally flexible with the included hour(s) for Silver and Gold accounts. For example, with Silver, if you didn't use your hour from last month and used two this month, I won't bill. However, I don't allow banking many months on end (since I charge a reduced rate for additional hours with these plans).

  7. Bandwidth and hard-drive limits are generally flexible. But ultimately must fit within my reseller agreements.

  8. In the event of cancellation, I pro-rate refunds based on unused months.
