Three Hosting Options & Domain Management
- Sometimes people ask us if we have never held up the transfer of a domain or website from anyone. The answer is NO. It’s your domain and your website. We are just the vendor helping you to create, maintain and promote it. If you need any help accessing your hosting or domain from another company, please let us know and we will be there for you.
- For domain management, You keep your domain wherever you want it. We are a reseller of Godaddy and like them the best. When the website goes live, we use a Content Delivery Network “CDN” called Cloudflare.com. The DNS needs to be managed by them so they can filter traffic to the website and block any malicious attempts to attack the website. They also provide the SSL security certificate and help the website to perform better by caching images.
- For Website Hosting, we offer 3 options
- All Hosting options are provided by www.cloudways.com, one of the leading hosting providers for WordPress websites. Their servers are extremely fast and their customer service is excellent if needed.
- All of our Hosting Plans come with premium support from our staff. We include up to 1 hour of live training that we record for you to revisit if you forget how to update your website. Here is our Support Policy, https://ameravant.com/wordpress-website-support/support-policy/. Your hosting in includes 9-5 phone support, Ticket Support, usually same day and often within the hour, and online User Guide support. Your support also includes maintaining your hosting server, WordPress Application and all Plugins needed to run your website, in Options 1 and 2 below.
- Option 1: Shared Application Hosting $39/mo – This is the most common and 95% of our clients prefer this type of hosting. We develop websites using WordPress and it requires maintenance, so on a Shared Application when we update WordPress, the server, plugins, etc, everyone gets the update at the same time.
For this plan, you have “Editor” rights to edit content within your website. Accessing any programming or scripting code, that may be needed on a page, is not allowed but can be performed by our staff. This is designed to protect you from not accidentally crashing your website. - Option 2: Single Application in a Shared Hosting environment $49/mo – This is where your WordPress application is 100% yours. You are not sharing any resources with any other website The downside of this is there is extra time needed for us to visit your WordPress application and make sure all services are always updated. If this doesn’t happen your website will eventually break. Even though you are not sharing the resources of your WordPress Application, you are sharing the hosting environment. A shared hosting environment can have many websites on it and still perform extremely well. If you felt you wanted even more dedicated performance, you would need the next hosting option, dedicated hosting.
For this plan, you have “Administrator” rights to edit content within your website, and any programming or scripting code. Your Support Policy with Ameravant does not include fixing the website if you break it as a result of your Administrator rights. - Option 3: Dedicated Hosting $39/mo + the cost of the Dedicated server, starting at $29/month for a minimum monthly cost of $68/mo – The only clients we have using dedicated hosting are clients that have very high and sudden demands on their websites, like Fire Departments. They need it because in the case there are 10,000 people at the same time wanting to know the status of a fire, the server needs those dedicated resources.
- For this plan, you have “Administrator” rights to edit content within your website, and any programming or scripting code. You also have access to the Server through a control panel and FTP. Your Support Policy with Ameravant does not include fixing the website if you break it, and it does not include helping you to understand how to manage the tools that come with Server-level access.
