Riverside Web Hosting Services

Web hosting is a must if you have a website, otherwise your site wouldn’t be available online. Smart Web Creative offers Riverside Web Hosting Services which is highly recommended.

You do have the option to go elsewhere to purchase web hosting, but we’ll need access to your server to upload the completed website and also to address any maintenance. Do know that it does make it difficult if problems arise on your website due to conflicts with how your server is setup.

While many of our services are budget-friendly, hosting costs can be a little daunting. The reason for this is due to our costs for running our servers. Now, there are other hosting companies such as GoDaddy, Bluehost, and HostGator, to name a few that you are welcome to use. However, we do not recommend going with these companies unless you are comfortable with their services and limited features which can be frustrating.

We see your website as your online storefront. The hosting for it should be just as important as the website itself. We strive to have your site load quickly, with security and backups in mind. Additionally, you won’t have to deal with the headache of those other companies since our team will be handling all technical aspects.

Other hosting companies may have cheaper hosting rates, but you pay a-la-carte for everything you need at first. Most of the time afterwards, you will probably need additional features which will cost your business hundreds more each year. We include these features such as website security, speed, and SSL certificates at no additional cost.

Most of the time when you host with a standard hosting company, they will do very little to maintain your site with your hosting. Any updates that your hosting needs will be ignored. However, with us, we make sure that the updates for hosting are up-to-date and we do everything we can to fix any errors that may arise with your hosting experience. Since your website will be hosted with us, it is a lot easier and faster for us to solve the issue than hitting road blocks with another hosting company.

Additionally, if you experience problems with your hosting, you will be dealing directly with us and not some foreign customer service representative that knows nothing about your site.

There are times when your website will need an upgraded web hosting package. This could be due to needing more hard drive space, monthly bandwidth, FTP accounts, etc. If you need to upgrade during your annual web hosting, we’ll just have you pay the difference for the rest of that year that you purchased the web hosting. When it comes time to renew your web hosting, you will then pay the new upgraded web hosting package.

Yes. A lot of design companies won’t mention recurring costs until it’s too late. At the least, you will need to pay for web hosting, annual domain name registration, domain privacy (if needed), and an annual trusted CA signed SSL certificate (if needed).

Smart Web Creative offers web hosting services to its clients along with an SSL certificate.

Domain name registration and domain privacy are not handled by Smart Web Creative. It’s easier for a client to purchase those separately as they own and control their domain name. However, we do offer assistance when trying to purchase a domain name.

Contact us immediately. If your site is hosted with Smart Web Creative, we can almost always resolve the issue within a reasonable amount of time.

If you’re hosted with a third-party, it’s more difficult to address what the issue is and in some cases could be on their end. In any case, we’ll try to find out what went wrong and let you know.

Yes. While hosting with Smart Web Creative, you can have up to 50 email accounts on any of our hosting packages. Since you have cPanel access, you could set up your own email accounts. But we do offer email account creation at an additional cost.
