Herb
Growing & Marketing Network
Web Hosting for Herb Businesses
Internet Hosting is the place your web
pages reside on the Internet. We specialize in sites that deal with
herbs, alternative health and gardening but we also work on a variety of
other businesses. We're different than most hosts....we really try
to work with you in making your site successful by helping you optimize
your site, suggesting marketing techniques, helping you learn Front Page
if you want to work on your site yourself and you're not already using
specific web design software and being a therapist when you're ready to
throw up your hands with the whole thing :-) We link you to our
other hosted sites which gives you a traffic boost and keep the links
updated as new businesses come in. We don't claim to be the
cheapest, and frankly, don't want to be. This isn't bargain
basement hosting....it's more of a caretaker job for us.
Web design services are available as well. If we're hosting you
and occasional updates and corrections take less than 15 minutes,
there's no charge. And I can be a real nag if necessary to get you
to keep your website current. We want you to have sales with your site.
With design work we now, unfortunately, have to ask you to sign a
contract, and prepay 1/2 of the anticipated design fee before we start.
Total price of design is based on several things but primarily on how much
material the client is able to send us including artwork. If we have
to search for it, we have to charge. There is a $35 initial linking charge (it takes time to get you
initially linked to the other sites). We offer hosting
with a shopping cart for $25 per month and with no cart for $20. We also offer you two
months free hosting each time you refer a new hosting client to us that signs up
for our services. We offer a significant
number of features including
OUR DEAL!!!
We've been thinking and thinking about how to deal with
the growing costs of being a small green business with the continuing
increases in energy costs as well as a need for reasonably priced
hosting. And I think we've come up with it . We're now going to offer
a new class of membership in the Network.....a membership with web
hosting built in. We'll try it and see if it works without me losing
my mind. (always a possibility). This offer is for any business that
fits in with the network: herbal, natural products, packaging,
gardening supplies, alternative medicine, etc. It does not apply to
carpenters, online pharmacies, or non-related companies. Regular
hosting rates apply for them...$25 a month for hosting with a cart.
We're not trying to be a "mill" like godaddy....we really want our
members/clients to succeed and that means more support and hand
holding.
The membership category is $300 a year. For that you get all
the benefits of membership (like the Herbal Green Pages, listings on
both websites, participation in the listserve, help with information,
and emotional support) which is normally $95 a year. You also get
website hosting with a full feature shopping cart (normally $480 a year
alone if you paid monthly).
You can maintain the site/cart yourself or we'll maintain it for our
regular rate...small changes that only take me 15 minutes
or less are STILL free). You'll get 200 mg of storage....enough for
most accounts that don't use the webmail as their main storage
facility and aren't information heavy, stats, 50 email addresses, PHP5,
1 mysql database and more. If you've joined or renewed in
the past 3 months and want to take advantage of this feature, contact
me and we'll arrange for a price break. And if you can't afford to pay
up front for this special package, our regular hosting rates are still
available. For all hosting clients we keep you linked to each other to
improve your visibility unless you
choose to opt out. There is an initial $35 charge to get you up on
everyone's site if you want this option and you're new to our hosting.
We also automatically submit you to the top 10 search engines as part
of the package as well. Special packages on major manual search engine
submission are also available. If you need more storage than 200 mg it
can be arranged for a higher
price.
