Web Hosting Solutions

Our take on Online Presence

Own Web Now has been a part of the virtual web hosting industry since its very inception. Over the years the product offering has changed but our core values have not and it is important to understand that we are quite different than your usual web hosting company. From globally redundant infrastructure to not overselling, Own Web Now Virtual Web Hosting is designed to deliver peak performance with the features that make sense.

Traditional virtual web hosting businesses resell the same server to thousands of customers, with plans consisting of same features but varying amounts of storage and bandwidth. The offerings are generally priced to showcase the value of the most expensive offering and get the customer to sign for the more expensive plan they will likely not use. This leads to overselling and poor performance associated with many web hosting companies.

At Own Web Now we do not oversell. We do not have multiple pricing plans. We do not offer different feature sets on different plans. As web designers and developers we know the true lifecycle of a web application. There are startup web sites or proof of concept appications suitable for small business and design demonstrations. When you grow past that you generally do not grow in the space and bandwidth demands alone - you require further Administrative control, dedicated resources, ability to modify server configuration and optimize the application. Beyond that there are dedicated servers, load balancers, content distribution networks and scalable storage. No matter the size nor the configuration, you can trust Own Web Now to design and serve your online presence needs.

Now that you are aware of our philosophy, here are the typical features our clients and partners use to power their online presence solutions.

Features

At a glance, here is what the Own Web Now Virtual Web Hosting platform includes:
