What is a web host reseller?

A web host reseller simply sells a service for an underlying company. In our case, we lease several servers which are actually owned and maintained (along with all the hardware and communication lines) by a major web hosting company. We sell accounts for them, thus, when you purchase a web hosting package through Simply Web Services, you are actually receiving a hosting package physically provided by one of the top web hosts in the world. 

In fact, as many as 70-80% of all web hosting companies are actually resellers for another company's service. Most all web host resellers keep this fact anonymous to give the appearance that they are providing the hardware and equipment, when in fact, they are not. As long as they don't misrepresent themselves this is fine, but often other hosting providers will lead you to believe they are something they are not. In recent history at least one "major" company was found out to actually be resellers for another companies services. This company hosted over 50,000 domains and ran into trouble, pulling the plug on all 50,000 users. Simply Web Services lets you know up front exactly who you are dealing with.

What are the benefits of hosting through Simply Web Services?

     By hosting with Simply Web Services, you save yourself time and effort: 

1. As a VAR (Value Added Reseller), Simply Web Services, takes care of the setup of your account including domain name registrations and transfers (if desired).
2. Simply Web Services offers local support and can administer your domain for you. Thus, we handle the technical problems.
3. Adding and setting up new web site features can be handled directly by Simply Web Services rather than having to do it yourself.
4. With Simply Web Services, you are not just another number, like with most large hosting companies. In fact many of our clients have become family friends.
5. And what is most important to you is that we are more affordable than the large hosting companies.

What if I ever want to change hosts in the future?

Though we would hate to lose your business, you are free to change hosts at any time. However, we are confident that you will be pleased with the value and service you receive through Simply Web Services. If you do choose to leave, we are dedicated to helping you make the transfer as smooth as possible.

Why are you telling me all this?

Because Simply Web Services is up front about everything. We let you know up front exactly who you are dealing with. We are not here to make false claims or claim we are something we are not (which is common in this business!). To be frank, we do not make our money from web hosting; we make it from designing web sites. We provide web hosting as an attractive value-added service to our clients which relieves them of the technical side of setting up and maintaining a hosting package. We believe that our long term partnership with an industry leading host coupled with our attention to service and detail at the local level provides an unbeatable web site package.
