Typically, customers beginning thier first Web site start with our entry level Silver plan. Customers coming to us with an already existing, and thus larger site, usually choose our expanded Gold plan. Power users who want still more storage space, bandwidth and all of our hosting features, choose our Platinum plan. While we do not provide unlimited hosting resources, within reason, we do allow Platinum plan customers to exceed their storage and bandwith limits. In the event even greater resources are needed, then we will be glad to customize a plan to your specific needs.

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. Others 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, and we will show you our appreciation.

eDesign and Hosting, Inc. offers both the Unix/Linux and Windows hosting platforms. Should you prefer Unix/Linux hosting, please let us know. Otherwise, you will automatically be set up with Windows hosting. Contact us or call us to discuss your Web site hosting needs. We will setup a corresponding plan for you.

Our servers have spam and antivirus filters 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. As an alternative, these filters can be set to higher levels of sensitivitiy and process the unsolicited e-mail as you choose. Should you wish to 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. We aren't going to say unlimited, but to date we've always been able to provide as many as needed. If you want to store e-mail online indefinately or for long periods of time, then we ask that you forward your e-mail to an online e-mail service. However, if you are only going to briefly and temporarily store your e-mail on our server, then you are welcome to use our POP3 e-mail accounts.

As for pricing, our domain name registration is as follows: 1-yr./29.95, 2-yrs./24.95 per, 5-yrs./21.95 per and 10-yrs./19.95 per year. Once you pay for your domain name, you own the domain name and upon request will have full access and control of it. As for our Web site hosting, there is a one-time $19.95 setup fee for all plans. Then we provide a Silver plan @ $9.95 (Good), Gold plan @ $19.95 (Better), and a Platinum plan $29.95 (Best). For those who wish to design their Web site online, we also have a SiteStudio plan @ $9.95. Compare our Silver, Gold and Platinum plans. Contact us or call us to determine which plan is best for you.

eDesign and Hosting, Inc. moderates all Web site hosting sign-ups, meaning all web site hosting is pending approval. All customers are by invitation only.
