Hosting & Maintenance

Hosting Fees...

Unlike all other designers, once I have designed your site and obtained your domain name thru my hosting service, there are NO MONTHLY HOSTING FEES for you to pay for the first year.

I will host your site FREE for the first year and then after the first year the fee is only $150 per year (prepaid). This does NOT include the renewal fee for your annual domain registration fee, which all site owners must pay each year to retain the site name.

NOTICE:

If you prefer to retain your domain name on another server, other than our own, you will be responsible for any and all fees required for hosting the site on another server.

MY HOSTING FEE IS ONLY .... $150.00 per year (prepaid) after the first year

MAINTENANCE FEES...

This pertains to sites after the first six months with the exception of adding pages to sites already completed.

Once a new web site has been completed and is on line, often the client finds over time that they want to add or subtract something on the site. Adding new photographs, videos, change text content, or even add an additional page takes the expertise of HTML coding in order to properly make these changes to the site without turning the pages into gibberish. Without that knowledge, or even the time to make those changes, it is best to allow me to make them for you. After all, I designed the site for you and know it's workings inside out. For a very modest fee I will make any and all changes requested in a very timely manner.

If you DO have the knowledge and software to handle your own maintenance, then I will provide you with all your web site files on a CD so you can make your own changes. Keep in mind, if you handle your own maintenance, you will still have to pay the hosting and domain name renewal fees unless your site and the domain name are transferred to another hosting service. If you do decide to handle your own maintenance and require my assistance to correct any errors you made, there will be a minimum $100 charge for my time and service which must be pre-paid and is non-refundable, prior to any corrections being made.

Pre-payment of your deposit can be made to my PayPal account using your own PayPal account or a debit/credit card. This link is applicable for payments for any of my services:
