Sure thing. I thought I should refrain from selling myself in the first post, but since you asked...

smallHOST Marketing was set up as the answer to the troubles that I had many years ago as a budding e-commerce entrepreneur. I wasted thousands of dollars and months of my time on web hosts and designers that couldn't deliver what they promised. I finally reached the point where I had 2 choices:

1) Give up, and eat the losses.
2) Invest even more time and money into learning how to do hosting and design myself

I decided to go with option #2 and learn how to everything without any middle men. My e-commerce websites began to make decent sales, and I started wondering if any other people had similar issues with designers or hosts.

I  ended up changing my business plan completely and getting out of the business of selling products online. My focus now is on helping new or existing small businesses, non-profit groups, and charities achieve their online goals at a fair price.

smallHOST linux web hosting is performance oriented, rather than value oriented. I believe that business online need to be quick and efficient for the customer or they will go elsewhere. As such, monthly fees are not bargain basement prices, but my clients so far agree that a few extra dollars per month is justified for faster page load times, 100% uptime (because 99.999% is not enough Grin), and managed backups (I can restore a site to the way it looked any day up to 1 month in the past)

smallHOST web design is flat rate, not hourly. I'm sure we have all seen some designers who charge up to $60/hr and that is not very cost effective for somebody who is just starting out. On the flip side, there is many designers charging only $10/hr and the design is not very attractive.
