What is Hosting?
Hosting is a service, whereby your website is stored on a server owned by the Host Company (in this case Lakes Area Web Services) for the purpose of Internet Connectivity for a website. Or more simply, it's the service of making your website accessible to everyone via the Internet.
Lakes Area Web Services Hosting Plans
Lakes Area Web Services offers four standard hosting plans, based upon the functionality of the web site. Static Website Hosting Basic, Static Website Hosting Plus, Data-Driven Website Hosting, and E-Commerce Website Hosting. Each of these plans is geared toward a different type of website, so depending on what type of website you have (or are creating); your plan will be fitted accordingly.
The Lakes Area Web Services Hosting Difference
As the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for" and at Lakes Area Web Services, we strive every day to make that a reality. Our #1 goal is customer service, which is why you will get a live person on the phone during business hours. No automated phone trees, no hold music, just a real live person ready to assist you! Not only that, but we are one of the only hosting companies in the world that provides up to one (1) hour of maintenance per month - for FREE*. Oh, and did we mention that we do not require long-term contracts? That's right, we want to continually earn your business, rather than tie you into a lifetime agreement. It is our goal to provide a long-term business relationship, and the best way to do that is to prove our selves on a monthly basis.
*Maintenance not included in Static Website Hosting Basic Plan. All work is rounded up to the nearest hour. Hours are not transferable from month-to-month.
