Hosting overview
We provide you the Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista Server hosting you need so you can focus on what you do best—which is developing software—and allow us to supply you with what you're looking for: a stable, reasonably-priced, Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista hosting solution. (And if you require the older Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 hosting, send us an and we'll provide info as well.)

A significant advantage to you is that we pre-install the necessary software that you require—depending on the plan you chose, we pre-install XML resource kits, C#, SQL server, Visual J# 2005, Visual Basic and Visual C++ / .NET runtime libraries, along with well-tested service packs— which means you have one less thing to worry about as you focus on developing your software application. And for those really hard core debugging situations, we make available Microsoft debuggers, debugger extensions, and other related diagnostic tools, including KD, Windbg, and CDB.

Look over our six hosting solutions to see which one best meets your needs. If you find that you require a custom solution, our experienced MCSE staff will work with you in architecting the Windows 2003 or Windows Vista hosting solution that's right for you.

1. Software development server more info
This is the solution for you if you're developing XML (Extensible Markup Language), Microsoft.NET platform, C# (Visual C Sharp), Visual J# 2005, or Visual Basic ASP.NET applications (Active Server Pages & ASPX) or SQL Server applications and require a Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista server. Send us and we'll promptly provide you a quote for access to a shared server hosted on your choice of a powerful Pentium® 4 or 64-bit processor, starting at $25 per month for PIII and scaling upward for P4 or 64-bit configurations. AMD processors—in both 64-bit and 32-bit configurations are available. (contact us to obtain pricing for SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2000, or SQL Server 7.0. Contact us if SQL needs to be on a separate server or if you require multiple CPUs or faster speeds.)

The benefit to you is that you save money because you have access to a full range of licensed software without needing to purchase licenses for SQL Server, ASPMail, and other 3rd party mail packages. Additionally, you have access to low-cost Domain Name registration and parking, IIS for hosting Active Server Pages, Visual Basic 2005 runtime for Visual Studio/Visual InterDev, optional Visual SourceSafe, and Server Extensions for Microsoft® FrontPage® 2003/2002/2000 and Office Server Extensions (OSE).

Your software development costs are controlled and oftentimes significantly reduced because we supply the requisite licenses and pre-install the necessary software—such as XML resource kits and C# Visual Studio stubs—so you can remain focused on your software development.
2. E-commerce development server more info
If you're developing e-commerce solutions and require a Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista server, send us and we'll promptly provide you a quote for access to a shared server hosted on your choice of a powerful, multi-CPU Pentium 4 or 64-bit or AMD processor, starting at $75 per month for the lower end processors and scaling upwards as your requirements increase over time.

The benefit to you is that you save money because you have access to a full range of licensed software without needing to purchase additional licenses. This includes access to Commerce Server 2002 & 2006, Transaction Server (COM+/MTS), Message Queue Server, Indexing Service/Search Server, Certificate Server, SSL-encryption, plus the apps from the above 'software development server' offering.

Additionally, you have access to a variety of shopping cart software, including CyberCash, AuthorizeNet, VeriSign's Signio, and other e-commerce solutions from WebLogics and ColdFusion.

Your e-commerce development costs are controlled and oftentimes significantly reduced because we supply the requisite licenses and pre-install the necessary software so you can remain focused on your e-commerce development.
3. Dedicated development server more info
This is the solution for you if you're on a tight development schedule and can't afford downtime caused by others' DLL conflicts, misbehaving ActiveX™ controls, and DCOM/COM/COM+ objects. There are times when you just can't afford to go down because someone else has a memory leak and it spills over to your development environment. A 100% dedicated development server alleviates these concerns, and the cost is quite reasonable in allowing you to achieve the goals set out by your time-constrained schedule.

This solution gives you the safety and security of a dedicated Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista Server plus your choice of a powerful single or dual-Pentium 4 or 64-bit or AMD processor (with RAM going up to 4 GB). We also provide server tools for you to easily remotely boot and manage your server.

Send us and we'll promptly provide you a quote for using a 100% dedicated server running Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista and located in our geographically dispersed, firewall-protected, environmentally-controlled, hardened server farm. With power outages becoming all too-frequent, we have industrial-grade UPS' and generator backups.
4. 'Proof of concept' web development server more info
This is the solution for you if you're developing 'proof of concept' web applications with Microsoft FrontPage 2003 and require a Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista server. Send us and we'll promptly provide you a quote for access to a shared server hosted on your choice of a powerful, multi-CPU Pentium 4 or 64-bit or AMD processor, starting at $21 per month for lower end processors and scaling upwards as your requirements increase.

The benefit to you is that this is our lowest-cost service. It's great when all you want is to quickly bring together some HTML/DHTML code to show 'proof of concept' to your client. Since you're using fewer resources, we price it much lower; yet, you can easily upgrade if you find that you require the wider range of licensed software found in the above 'software development server' offering.

But don't be misled in thinking that this is a light-weight solution, it's not: along with being able to host your Microsoft FrontPage 2003 development, you still have access to ASPMail, other 3rd party mail packages, and IIS for hosting Active Server Pages. And you also have the benefit of low-cost Domain Name registration and parking—which can be very useful in not only showing your client the proof of concept, but also presenting them a domain name that they recognize as being theirs.

Your proof of concept development costs are controlled and since we pre-install the necessary software, you can remain focused on developing your 'proof of concept' web application for your client. And when you're ready for the full range of features in the above 'software development server' offering, the upgrade is simple and straightforward. . .
5. Office collaboration development server more info
This is the solution for you if you're developing Microsoft Office collaboration applications that require Office Server Extensions (OSE) and need a Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista server. Send us and we'll promptly provide you a quote for access to a shared server hosted on a powerful, multi-CPU Pentium or AMD processor, starting at $65 per month.

We integrate Office Server Extensions with SQL Server so your client's users can publish documents, participate in discussions, and collaborate on projects, all from within their browser or Office app. Office Server Extensions provide the complete security you need and scale to meet large system needs.

The benefit to you is that you save money because you have access to a full range of licensed software without needing to purchase licenses for SQL Server, ASPMail, and other 3rd party mail packages. Additionally, you have access to low-cost Domain Name registration and parking, IIS for hosting Active Server Pages, Visual Basic 2005 runtime for Visual Studio/Visual InterDev, Visual SourceSafe, and Server Extensions for Microsoft FrontPage 2003,2002,2000 and Office Server Extensions.

Your software development costs are controlled and oftentimes significantly reduced because we supply the requisite licenses and pre-install the necessary software so you can remain focused on developing your office collaboration application.
6. Production web server more info
When you're finished with your development efforts and your client needs to be hosted, send us and we'll promptly provide you a quote for hosting in a 24 by 7, UPS-protected, production server environment. You can choose between a shared server hosted on a powerful Pentium 4 or 64-bit or AMD processor (your choice of processor manufacturer) -or- a 100% dedicated server that is fully under your clients' control.

With this offering, we also make available to you notification tools—the same ones our Network Operations Center uses—so you have the confidence of knowing by pager, cell phone, or e-mail that your client's site is up and running.

Traffic analysis reports—from WebTrends and Urchin—are also made available so you can reliably report back to your client how many page views are taking place.

Questions and answers
Q. Why aren't you like other hosting companies and provide prices online?	A. By asking you to send us e-mail where you describe your development requirements, we make sure that the hosting solution we propose for you meets your requirements, rather than a 'one size fits all' answer. Remember, we ourselves are developers, and we know how critical it is to have the right solution with the proper development tools in place.
Q. How do you see yourselves as being different from other hosting companies?	A. We've found that other companies began by offering web hosting—which we do as well—but where we differ is that our services have been designed for the professional software developer. We take care of pre-installing the necessary software—such as XML resource kits and C# Visual Studio stubs—so you can remain focused on your software development. We then concentrate on keeping the server farm hardware up and running so you have the stable platform that you require.
Q. How many "hops" away are you from the Internet backbone, e.g., will my Internet connection with you be a decent one?	A. Click here to learn about our connectivity to the Internet backbone. We are very fortunate to be "one hop" away from two of the six major U.S. interconnect points. One is the Silicon Valley/San Jose MAE-West interconnect, operated by MCI Worldcom, and the other is the San Francisco NAP, operated by SBC, formerly PacBell. We also have extensive direct overseas connections to Asia and Europe.
