Want to Start Something?

Covid-19, plus the rules & behaviors that come with it, is having a big impact on how folks make a living and the skills they might need going forward.  So how can a small, indie web hosting business help?  Making masks would be a disaster, but, we do know how to get websites up and running – plus can help with a lot of the tech behind the scenes. So, if you ever wanted to get a site rolling and weren’t really sure where or how to begin – let us help.

Here’s the idea… We took our biggest shared hosting plan that was $18/month and knocked it down to $12/month. It includes powerful web hosting, email, forwarders, databases, and a tool called “The Installatron” that let’s you install a ton of different web applications with just a few clicks. PLUS – to get you rolling, we’ll install WordPress for you for free and set up an SSL so you can get rolling with your new business ideas.

Here are some detailed features:

  • 3 Domains
  • 10 Sub Domains
  • 5GB of Disk Space
  • 200 GB of Monthly Bandwidth
  • 2000 Compute Cycles per Month
  • 20 MySQL Databases
  • Free shared SSL Certificates
  • 10 Email Accounts
  • 20 Email Forwarders
  • Full Installatron Access
  • Full DirectAdmin Control Panel Access
  • 1 Free Concierge Service – WordPress install with an SSL Certificate

So if you had an idea to start business, blog, or maybe you just want to learn some new tech to boost your resume. Or, maybe you just want to learn more about building out websites to start a side biz. This is a great set of tools at a super affordable price – plus we’ll give you that running start with the concierge service.

Hope this helps and if you have questions – please fire away down below!

CryoEM 101 for the University of Utah is LIVE

In November, we launched a new site working with a team of scientists at The University of Utah and it’s slick as anything.  You can check it out here: https://cryoem101.org.  New chapters will rollout in the coming months, but the first is live now.  

The “why” behind the site is summarized as: 

Cryo EM has emerged as a powerful tool for high-resolution structure determination.  To aid the training efforts of newcomers to the field, we are creating a media-rich curriculum to augment users’ own hands-on training. The training material will contain videos, animations, and interactive simulations that cover the major components of the cryo-EM workflow.

This subject is pretty intense for a crew of web pros with a solid “C”  average in science.  Well, we weren’t needed for our scientific expertise, but instead for our ability to mix WordPress design/development with custom JavaScript functionality to take their work and make it beautiful in any browser.  

Work included:

  • Site design
  • Site development in WordPress
  • Some copywriting
  • Content Production
  • Interactive module development (example here)
  • Ongoing maintenance & future content development and production

Here’s a shot of the “About” page and the folks behind all of the powerful content/assets on the site:

The Team behind the site.

For us, a great project.  Everything was smooth and came together fast.  Using Slack for communication across the team was a treat. 

Also, this is a new blog for us and I’m happy to kick it off bragging about this project.  Hello world!
