What's this Web Hosting Stuff About?

We know that web hosting can be confusing. There are a lot of options here, so this page should help you decide what plan, and course of action to take.

The good news! All of our managed hosting accounts are "fully managed" meaning that if you need help with a software package, simply open a ticket and we will get back to you with assistance. So rest assured that if you get stuck, there is a helping hand waiting for you.

I want to set up a:

Blog

A weblog, or Blog, is an online journal. Most blogs are updated weekly, daily, or even several times a day. Blogs are revolutionizing how the world communicates with each other.

We have several platforms available for blogging. The best one, in our opinion, is WordPress. It is easy to jump into and start publishing online.

If you just need to set up a simple, no frills blog, then you might set one up at wordpress.com. The downside is that it is not very customizable, for example plugins are not allowed.

For a more advanced blog, consider opening an account with us and using our automated Wordpress installer. Our hosting platform allows you to install many different customizations to your Wordpress website. It also allows for more privacy of your content.

Forum

If you are interested in setting up a discussion forum, we have some great news for you. One of the best forum software solutions out there is phpBB. It is a full featured, secure forum system that has a great price tag - free!

Fortunately for you, we have automated installers for this system! This makes installing a forum on your website a snap, and also will help you keep it updated with the latest security patches.

To get started with a forum, sign up for a hosting package. Once you receive your login information, log into the control panel and navigate to the "Installatron" software installer. From here, you will see the phpBB option. A few questions later, and your forum is up and running.

If you have any problems getting started, submit a support ticket and our helpful technicians will be able to help you get started. We have experience in setting up multiple high traffic forum sites.
