Overview
Since April 1998, WebsiteSource has offered various Web hosting plans. The WebsiteSource data center in Austin, Texas utilizes direct OC-48 connections for maximum reliability. Hosting plans start at $6.85/month for 4-8 websites and include SiteStudio (a website building tool) and Site Statistics (a traffic monitoring tool). Private servers are available for power users. These offer full root access and the ability to install user-chosen programs. Because one dedicated machine can contain multiple private servers, this option is often cheaper than a dedicated plan. Starting at $34.96 per month, you can lease a private server including 3 GB storage, 120 GB monthly data transfer, a dedicated IP address and unlimited domain hosting. Finally, WebsteSource also offers dedicated server hosting plans starting at $129 per month with Intel Celeron 2.0 GHz servers.
Price
Plans range from $6.85 per month for basic shared hosting plans to $129 per month and higher for advanced dedicated host options.
Reliability
WebsiteSource servers are Dell PowerEdge 1750 systems with Intel Xeon 3.06 GHz processors and 2 GB RAM. All servers run Red Hat Advanced Server for maximum security. WebsiteSource uses Cisco networking equipment with a DDoS Protection Suite. The data center is approximately 15 minutes from Dell’s headquarters in Round Rock, Texas, so Dell technicians are readily available for hardware maintenance.
User Tools
All WebsiteSource hosting plans include access to the SiteStudio Website Builder tool and Miva Merchant E-Commerce, which offers fraud protection and streaming media generation tools. An online control panel is available.
Customer Service/Tech Support
WebsiteSource offers 24/7 online chat, toll-free phone and email support. Its website has free help manuals and video tutorials for webmasters, as well as a FAQ and a knowledge base.
