Our entry level Silver plan Web site hosting is typically more than enough for Web sites that contain only text, graphics, a few pictures, and brief audio files. Web sites with larger audio files, such as sermons, flash animation, FTP sites, photo intensive Web sites, and brief video files need to start with our Gold plan hosting. Web sites with video, such as video sermons, need to start with our Platinum plan hosting. Other factors, such as the overall size of your Web site, and the amount of Web site visitors will also determine your hosting plan. As you maximize the use of the resources provided in your plan, then it is time to upgrade to the next level plan, which could include a custom plan. Call us at (304) 529-3808, or e-mail us to determine which plan is best for you.

eDesign and Hosting, Inc. offers both Linux and Windows Web site hosting. If you plan to use ASP and MS databases, then you will need Windows. Otherwise, Linux hosting is your best choice. Unless you request Windows hosting, then your Web site will be setup in Linux. Contact us or call us to discuss your Web site hosting needs. Let us know if you will be hosting audio or video files, such as sermons. We will setup a corresponding plan for you.

Our plans save you money by permitting the hosting of multiple Web sites under one hosting plan. Let us clarify, though, that multiple domains under the same plan need to be owned by the same individual, business, ministry or organization. Individually owned domain names would need to have their own plan, even if they have the same Webmaster. Let us know that you are referring another customer to us. If they buy one of our Web site hosting plans, then we will show you our appreciation.

Our servers have spam and antivirus filters with white and black list features for the protection of your e-mail accounts. When we set up hosting accounts, we activate those filters and set them to a default low level filtering to remove suspicious e-mail. We do suggest that you use a third party filter. Go to the SpamCop Web site for a choice of POP3 filters. If you need any assistance with our server filters, contact us by e-mail or call 304-529-3808.

We are often asked how many e-mail accounts you may have. To date we've always been able to provide as many as needed. We do ask that you not store your e-mail on our servers, but instead forward them to an online e-mail service, or regularly download your POP3 e-mail into an e-mail client, such as Outlook, on your own computer.

As for pricing, compare our Silver, Gold and Platinum plans here. As for domain name registration, our prices are as follows: 1-year/30.95, 2-years/25.95 per year, 5-years/22.95 per year and 10-years/20.95 per year. When domain names are initially ordered, we register them for one year under our name. Once we receive payment for your domain name registration, we then extend the registration to the amount of years for which you paid. Also, upon receipt of payment, we change the ownership of the domain name over to you. Private registration is recommended for new domain names. Also known as domain protection, this is included by default, unless declined at the time of ordering, for an additional $7.00 per year. Expired domain names may be purchased by resellers, and thus used by anyone for any purpose. (There are no refunds on domain name registrations.) Rates for Web site design, maintenance, updates and all other Web site related work are custom tailored to the specific needs of each customer.

eDesign and Hosting, Inc. moderates all Web site hosting sign-ups, meaning all web site hosting is pending approval. We reserve the right to accept or decline any domain name registration request and, or Web site hosting request, for any reason at any time, without explanation. See our Terms and Conditions.
