Apart from renewing your Domain Names each year your website has to live somewhere so that people can actually see and use it... it must live on the Webtrix® Servers.
THE WEBTRIX® SERVERS
A Server is essentially a computer... the Webtrix® Servers are high-end computers.
The Webtrix® Servers are based in a high-end, Secure Data Centre in Sydney and are state-of-the-art and super-fast.
Your Website and Emails run over multiple Servers so that there is no one point of failure and it just works.
The Webtrix® Servers are monitored 24/7 by software and people with spare parts on hand and to fix any issues that may arise... after all they are computers.
The Webtrix® Servers have "hot pluggable" components which means that if something like a HDD dies all the other ones take up the load and a Server Admin can change the broken HDD without turning off the Server which means zero downtime and your Website and Email just keeps working.
Additionally if an entire Server fails the other ones just take up the load and your Website and Email just keeps working as normal.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Webtrix® Hosting and Maintenance is not just Website Hosting... it also includes Ongoing Software Development and Maintenance so you are always on the newest version of the Webtrix® System... this alone can be worth hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars a year compared to having a WordPress Website that needs to be maintained.
Everything your Website and Email needs to run is included...
Diskspace... you get as much Diskspace as needed to run your Website and you get 2GB of Diskspace for your Email (you can add more if needed).
NOTE: Server Diskspace is not like the Diskspace on your computer at work or home... a normal HDD that might cost $100 for your work or home computer however a "hot pluggable" Server HDD costs in access of $1,000 each and are high-end as they run 24/7... on top of that your Website is split over multiple HDDs so that you need 4 or 5 HDDs instead of one to keep it all working.
Bandwidth... like your computer at work or home the Webtrix® Servers needs an Internet Connection which is Bandwidth... we include all the Bandwidth your Website and Email needs to run.
Email... full Email Functionality is included with 2GB of Diskspace which is enough for most businesses... additional Diskspace can be purchased for $3.25 per GB per month if needed.
DNS... DNS is "Domain Name Services" which is, basically, what makes the Internet run... Webtrix® includes both standard and custom DNS Services as part of your Website Hosting and Maintenance.
Ongoing Updates... this is the MOST IMPORTANT part of the Website Hosting and Maintenance... so it just works we constantly monitor and upgrade the Webtrix® System meaning that you are always on the most up-to-date version of everything... this is invaluable.
The average life of a Website, according to
Forbes, is 2 years and 7 months... with the Webtrix
® System we have had clients run their current Website (including content updates by them in the Admin Area) for in excess of 7 years... over time that can save you a small fortune.
Support... if you have read what our Clients say about us you will see that we are strong on Support... Murray hates slow and poor Support.
Saying that we build and maintain everything so it just works making Support rarely needed.
