Why we should host your domain ?

• Personal Attention - Unlike the major hosting firms, which serve thousands or even tens of thousands of domains, we place emphasis on personal attention. While hosting , you will come to know our staff, and be able call on them whenever you need to.
• Local Host Service - If your market is Southwest Virginia, we've got you covered! We have an open peering policy with other Internet providers and networks, and are working to provide single hop network connectivity. What does this mean to people who host ? It means your clients get to your site faster, more efficiently, and more reliably than with any other network
• Our web servers  servers are standards compliant and support  publish to and administer, with FTP and HTTP/PUT support .Finally, you always have the processor power you need, the space you need, and the Internet capacity you need.

Some domains we host:

Your monthly hosting fee is made up of three items: a base fee, disk storage, and data transfer.

The base fee is $5.95, includes 20 Mb of disk space , and includes 100 MBytes of data transfer.

Should you require more space, the storage fee is $5 for blocks of 5 MBytes, and $20 for blocks of 40 Mbytes.

Should you have a very active site your main expense with virtual hosting will be transfer.  Our base plan, includes 1 GBytes of data transfer, which is sufficient for most small web sites.

We do not do web site design, but can refer you to a number of local web page designers.

We would be glad to work with the web designer you work for in serving their web hosting needs. We also work frequently with do it yourself clients who design their own site. One of the best sources about web design techniques, is the world wide web itself. While it takes skill and effort to design a website that looks attractive, much thought should be given to your audience. A website that looks attractive but isn't effective in bringing you customers or otherwise serving your audience isn't the best website for your needs. For example, there are many web enabled smartphones or cell phones (such as the Apple Iphone), these have a very small screen and a relatively slow internet connection. People with these devices will often check a website for your address, telephone, prices, hours or the time and date of your next event, or schedule. If some of your intended audience are users of such devices, your website should be designed with these devices in mind. See for exampleDesign web pages for cell phoneAnother consideration is to make your website usuable by people with slower connections. While many people have high speed connections, there are many rural locations such as parts of Montgomery County, Giles County, and Pulaski County where DSL and cable internet are not available also some people use dialup because it suits their needs.
