Website Hosting Services by Myrtle Beach Website Designer

Website Hosting Services

 

Once a website has been created, it needs to be hosted. Just like your business, your website needs a place to be located.

Your business may be located at a storefront, an office building, or in your home. Your website is located on a Host. Hosting is the service that keeps the site online.

Unlike many other website design companies, we provide hosting to you as part of a Comprehensive Website Package! We like to think of ourselves as a “one-stop shop” for all your web needs.

If you have an existing site that needs hosting (or you’re paying WAY too much for your hosting) we provide the same affordable hosting services to existing websites as well.

Myrtle Beach Website Designer is a web hosting service provider. We are located in South Carolina, and we offer hosting service for websites across the planet. While most hosting providers offer one or a few plans, we offer customized hosting solutions for each individual client. We make sure that you are provided with no more, and no less, hosting service than you require.

In addition to our hosting services, we also offer website maintenance plans. Once your site is up and running, you may want to make minor additions, removals and “tweaks” to the site as it goes along. Myrtle Beach Website Designer can provide those maintenance services to you.

Whether you have had your site designed by us and are receiving your hosting as part of a Comprehensive Website Package, or you had your site designed by someone else and wish to switch your hosting and maintenance services to us, you are provided with the best service at the best possible price.

In addition, unlike most web hosting companies, we allow upgrading/downgrading of your hosting plan at no charge for the change!

 

All of our hosting services offer:

UNLIMITED HITS!

UNLIMITED Data Transfer!

99.9% Uptime!

Redundant Power!

24x7x365 Monitoring & Management!

Redundant Network Equipment!

24x7x365 Customer Service on site!

Redundant Climate Control!

Engineers on Staff 8 AM to Midnight 365 Days!

Redundant Fiber Entrances!

Redundant Tier One (T1) Backbones!

For those who don’t know what some these things mean, they are the best that can be offered when it comes to website hosting infrastructure!

 

Many website hosting companies try to attract businesses by offering ridiculously high amounts of disc space. Have you seen hosting providers who offer you up to 5GB of space? Well, would you be surprised to know that your site probably will need less than 1% of that?

Most websites use about 50-75MB (that’s 0.075GB). Your site may need more than that, but if you don’t, we at Myrtle Beach Website Designer think that you shouldn’t have to pay for it. Our web hosting services are custom-tailored to meet your specific website’s needs.

If you’re ready to have your site hosted by Myrtle Beach Website Designer, click here to Get a Quote and to find out about our Best Value Guarantee! Or for more info about these and other services, email us at spike@spikecohen.com or call us at (843) 902-7256.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Services by Myrtle Beach Website Designer

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

If you’re like most people who surf the Internet, you use a search engine like Google or Yahoo to find what you’re looking for online. Normally, you only need to click on the first few results that come up.

But have you ever wondered who decides which websites come up first? Well, the engines’ super-computers use a complicated and ever-changing formula to “figure out” which websites are the most relevant to your search.

That’s all fine and good, but what’s important to you is, how do you make sure that your site is listed at the top of those engines? After all, you can have the greatest site in the world, but if no knows it’s there, then you might as well not have one at all.

That’s where Myrtle Beach Website Designer comes in! We specialize in Search Engine Optimization, or SEO. We use a series of SEO techniques to make sure that your site gets the highest search engine ranking possible!

Of course, we have to make sure that you are ranked high for something that you actually do. If you sell cars, and you come up at the top of rankings when someone is searching for lawn chairs, that’s not going to help you, which is why we research the best search terms that are related to what you do, and focus on making your site rank as highly as possible for those searches!

In fact, if you found us via a search engine, then you got a first-hand showcase of our ability to get high rankings for our sites!

 

Here are a few of the SEO techniques we use for your site:

Generate pages and coding designed to follow search engine guidelines.

Develop “META tags” which provide description and keyword info to the search engines.

Modify site content to make it as search engine friendly as possible, while still maintaining the integrity of your site design.

Create XML Sitemap, which helps search engines navigate through your site more easily, and putting your site at a higher rank for more regular “crawls” by the search engines. This allows your website’s new content to be shown on search engines more quickly.

Check HTML, JSP, ASP, PHP, CSS and any other coding for possible errors.

Submit your website to all the major search engines (including Google, Yahoo, MSN Live, AOL Search, Altavista, and more).

Submit your website to hundreds of other smaller search engines.

All of the above services can also be retro-fitted onto websites that have already been created.

 

Our SEO services can be rolled into a Comprehensive Website Package for you! Or, if you already have a website, but you aren’t getting as many hits and visits as you should, we can do SEO for existing websites as well.

Never take it for granted that your website design company designs your website to be search engine friendly. The fact is, most web designers don’t even know how to optimize your site for search engines, and they will probably never even mention it. And most web designers charge obscene amounts of money for the service if they do offer it, or they’ll just hand you over to a 3rd party company to do some “jury rigging” of your site to make it more search engine friendly.

If you’re ready to get the highest search engine rankings possible for your website by Myrtle Beach Website Designer, or you want more info about these and other services, email us at spike@spikecohen.com or call us at (843) 902-7256.

Whether your business is in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina or Guadalajara (or anywhere in between), trust Myrtle Beach Website Designer to handle all of your Search Engine Opmtimization needs!

SalsaQueenProductions.com – Latin Dance Site by Myrtle Beach Website Designer

Let's all welcome SalsaQueenProductions.com to the MBWD family!

 

Remember when I said I could make a site in as little as 24 hours?  Well, here’s an example of one of those.

I was approached this past Friday by the Salsa Queen herself, Adalia Ellis, about making a website for her Latin Dance Company, Salsa Queen Productions.

She was already running a website for her Myrtle Beach Latin Dance Conference, but needed a more spiffy and unique-looking site for her company.

Salsa Queen Productions runs Latin Dance Classes in Myrtle Beach, SC.  She teaches salsa, merengue and bachata.  She also promotes Latin Dance Events throughout the Myrtle Beach/Grand Strand area.

Anyway, Adalia was about to begin a major marketing campaign on Monday, which would be centered around her website.  That meant I had 3 days to make her website.

I finished it up Saturday morning.

Go to SalsaQueenProductions.com, and you’ll see what the Salsa Queen is all about.  In addition to info about their Classes and Events, she also has a Picture and Video Gallery (pictures coming soon!) that shows all her exploits in dancing around the world.  There is also a page with more information about the Myrtle Beach Latin Dance Conference, an event that includes everything from dance lessons, clubbing, beach parties and massage thereapy, and much more!

So let’s welcome SalsaQueenProductions.com to the Myrtle Beach Website Design family!

“To say we are satisfied with the outstanding service we receive from Spike and Myrtle Beach Website Designer would be a drastic understatement.”

 

I’ve probably done more work for Cohen & Associates Real Estate than for anyone else.  They are a company that sells Real Estate in Myrtle Beach and the surrounding area.  And this is probably the most ringing endorsement I’ve received from anyone:

 

To Whom it May Concern:

Myrtle Beach Website Designer will never finish our website! Because Spike puts his personal and professional heart and soul into every single challenge he undertakes, he is continually searching for ways to improve our real estate website CohenMyrtleBeach.com. Just when we think our web presence cannot look or function better, he sends an email asking us to review his latest improvements.

For those who know little or nothing of website design, or who are intimidated by the whole process (I know because that group included me), you will be overwhelmed by the unsurpassed patience displayed and guidance provided by Spike Cohen and Myrtle Beach Website Designer.

No cookie-cutter websites. Myrtle Beach Website Designer gives each and every website designed their own distinctive look, with just the right amount of “WOW!”

Best regards & God bless,
Trish Cohen
Broker-in-Charge
Cohen & Associates Real Estate

 

That’s a great review if I ever heard one!  I look forward to continuing to improve and update the Cohen & Associates website.

Incidentally, the fact that Trish Cohen is my mother has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with how ringing this endorsement is.

It is probably why I got the job right out of high school though.

Anyway, For more testimonials like this one, most of which did not come from my mother, go to our Testimonials Page!

 

How Long Does it Take to Make a Website?

In a previous post, we discussed the answer to the most-common question I get, “How do I get a website designed?”

Well, The second-most common question I get from people is “how long does it take to get a website designed?”  The short answer to that question is “that depends on you.”  And that doesn’t just mean that smaller sites take less time.

The more materials you give me up front, and the more accessible you are throughout the process, the more quickly I can get your site from The Sit-Down to The Launch.

I have had people come to me on Friday, telling me they need a site up by Monday.  They had all the materials and information I needed, and I had their sites up by that evening.  I can do it that quickly.

I’ve also had people who gave me very little material, told me very little about their company and were difficult to contact on a regular basis.  Their sites took  months, because if I don’t know what I’m designing, and can’t reach the client to find out, I have nothing to do.

Long story short, Myrtle Beach Website Designer can make a site for you in as little as 48 hours, and as long as eternity.  It all depends on you.  But the average time is about a week.
