Web Hosting

Our web hosting services feature a virtual private server (VPS) running on the speedy LiteSpeed platform. The benefits of a VPS over the more common shared server are:

  • Security – With a virtual private server your file system is much more secure than a shared environment, where thousands of other site owners with shell access can browse through your files.  In a shared hosting environment you are susceptible to system crashes and vulnerabilities created by the actions of others. If another shared account runs a script that crashes the server or opens up vulnerabilities, your site will go offline or be hacked as well. With a VPS account, the server administrator (Clearwater Web) chooses which sites share the VPS – presently only 10 trusted, local sites are on our VPS. 
  • Data Integrity – We back up each site on the VPS regularly: weekly database and file system backups are uploaded to our storage account at Amazon S3.
  • Management –  We handle all internal server configurations.
  • Functionality – A VPS provides the same functionally as a dedicated server.
  • Resource Efficient – The high level of server resources are instantly scaled to the needs of your site. In a shared environment, resources are allocated to all websites in an unequal manner, meaning a large site can drain all resources and leave yours performing sluggishly. In a virtual private server environment, you are guaranteed a set of resources to ensure your site always performs at full speed.
  • Site Speed – Our server runs on the super speedy and resource efficient LiteSpeed platform, a huge upgrade over Apache. Google loves sites that load swiftly.

We take an active part in the success of each of our hosted sites

We are not merely re-sellers of hosting services. In addition to our VPS, we are able to provide optional site management for your website:

  • Weekly updates to main core, themes and plugins
  • Weekly scan for any security risks
  • Site Analytics
  • Weekly backup of all site files and databases to Amazon S3
  • Mass removal of spam comments and post revisions
  • Traffic change alerts
  • Occasional minor tweaks – i.e. add a link, change wording, etc.

VPS hosting, including the website management tasks above, starts at $325/year.
