What is Hosting Anyway?

Your web host is the “virtual garage” for your website. While the domain name is the address, the host is the structure—a powerful specialized computer—that houses your website and connects it to the Internet. Hosting services, like Heartland Hosting, offer a variety of features and options; you’ll select the features and options for your site based on its size and function. For instance, in addition to the amount of physical hosting space you need, you should look to see what kinds of “extras” you need: data transfer? e-mail? spam filtering? virus filtering? back-up capabilities? site statistics? tech support? e-commerce? flexibility? We offer all of these.

Our universal hosting plan is very simple: “unlimited everything.” Unlimited space, bandwidth, forwarding, databases. That way, you never have to worry about what next month will cost, or if you will need to increase your space as you move ahead in your project. We manage everything on our end, and offer both Windows and Linux plans. We provide universal hosting for a flat fee of $29.99 per month, no set up fees, and we can have your account ready in most cases within an hour.  (There is an additional fee to set up e-mail service.)

Want to manage your own hosting? We offer a complete line of hosting packages through our partners at GoDaddy that offer tools that allow you to manage all aspects of your site. You can review several great hosting plans at http://www.heartland-hosting.com.
