worth doing as simply messing-about in boats."

We're different:
  • FREE Site Setup
  • FREE Web Templates
  • NO Contracts
  • EASY Payment Options
Finally ...
Hosting for the rest of us!

We are a small hosting company that grew out of a need for our own web sites to have a reliable, secure home. We offer "Full Service" hosting at discount prices. We'll help you get your site on the web, not just sell you an account.

Free Web Templates!
Free web templates!
Available on request

Small company service:
That's my promise. I will give you as much help as you need, up to creating your entire site based on any of our free templates. Unlike "mega-hosts", I don't have a huge customer base that prevents me from providing excellent personalized support.

We offer:

  • No Set Up Fees
  • No Long Term Contracts
  • 30-Day Cash Back Guarantee
  • Free Web Templates
  • Free Site Creation
  • Personalized Service
  • Easy Payment Options
What's the Catch?
We are selective about who we allow on our servers, and you must tell us what kind of content you'll be hosting.

We don't offer telephone support 24/7, relying instead on our support forums, email and email pager. But we do care about our customers!
