Corporate Hosting Prices

From the following list of Prices for the Standard Hosting Plan select those items that meet your needs.  Each Standard Hosting Contract will at least require the Basic Hosting Package.  You will only need the Basic Hosting Package unless you intend to sell products using a shopping cart or receive private data directly from your site.

Server Disk Space:    100MB :  Data Transfer/Mo.    6000MB

* These items are required for a basic hosting package.

We recommend setting up the basic hosting package.  This allows minimal cost during the setting up of your domain name and designing your website.  This will also place your business on the web more quickly, since we will provide you with a temporary home page that will tell your viewers that your site is currently under development.  Your viewers will be able to send you email directly from your temporary home page and you can begin using your email address with your present and future customers.  Your email will be automatically forwarded to the your address of choice.

The Miva Shopping Cart can be added to your site to allow your customers to shop and purchase your products or services online directly from your website. 

* Required service for each account.

All Hosting Contracts and Services are paid in advance monthly.
