Hosting
Hosting is paid by the year, in advance of service, with no refunds. If you go over your hosting allocation, we will automatically increment you to the next level and invoice your account for the difference.
*(See Plans Below) As space is needed or traffic requires, you will be auto-upgraded to the next level plan upon renewal. You will be notified of the increase at least 30 days in advance. The platinum provisioning fee may be waived for non-VPS accounts.

A Home For Your Website
Domain registration reserves your place on the internet, only for you to use. Once you pick a www address that’s available and it’s registered, we need to keep it somewhere. That’s what we mean by hosting. It’s a place to store your website. When someone searches for you, our systems show your website to the visitor.
When you own your own website, you can also set up email at that address. It’s more professional to give someone a business card with an email address at your company name rather than one of those free accounts like gmail, yahoo, roadrunner, etc. People are more likely to trust you so it adds legitimacy to your business activities.
A website is one of the cheapest forms of advertising. Establish a website, then publish it on all of the materials you send out. Signatures on emails are free with every email going out. Print it on your business card, brochures, postcard campaigns and soon you will see the fruits of the simplest and cheapest advertising around. The website gives your customers an opportunity to contact you around the clock, even when you’re asleep, your website is connecting you to customers.
More advanced features of websites include the ability to blog (a web-log or online journal, also good for news publishing), sell online (e-commerce), offer membership registration/renewal systems, customer invoice payments, customer feedback, view statistics and traffic analysis, and many more types of visitor interaction. Get started hosting with Tech Lab by contacting our office to get set up. We also help you transfer from your old hosting provider – when your previous provider can’t keep you online, we can.
