Hosting Platforms Compared

We offer several hosting options but on two separate platforms. The following comparison is to help you decide which one is right for you. The Assisted Hosting is for those who would rather have us manage their domain, web site and email hosting. Do-it-Yourself hosting is for those who would rather have full control but don't need a lot of assistance.

We believe that the Assisted Hosting is a better option for those that don't have huge sites and also those who prefer to have the hosting managed for them. Do-It-Yourself hosting is better for people who need a large amount of space and would rather do everything themselves. If you still aren't sure, give us a call at (503) 678-3050, we would be happy to discuss it with you and help you find the plan best suited for you.
