Frequently Asked Questions

Website Design and Optimization
Q. When Web2000Host.com designs a Website, do you test your design across multiple browsers?

A. Most definitely! We not only test our designs in most recent releases of Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, we also test them for a variety of screen resolutions. Currently, the "typical" Internet user is surfing the Web on a 17" monitor, viewing it at 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels tall and 1024 pixels wide by 768 tall. We optimize all of our Websites for that size and do our best to accommodate all others.

Q. Is Web2000Host.com capable of adding any back-end functions to the design?

A. Yes! Many of our clients currently use several back-end functions to enhance the performance of their Websites. From handling forms in several different ways to graphical interfaces to being able to update Web-based DB applications in real-time, we have the ability and resources to create whatever back-end functions our clients desire. We also offer our clients, the ability to utilize shopping carts to conduct E-Commerce, chat rooms, message forums, multiple email addresses, cam network setup, and right now are also in the completion stages of setting up video streaming and pay-per-view video facilities.

Q. Is Web2000Host.com willing to design around items I already had designed by someone else, such as my company logo? And, if I don't have a company logo designed already, will Web2000Host.com design one for me?
A. Logos and Corporate IDs play an important role in business. Whether it be for print advertising or the Web, the whole purpose of a Corporate ID is to retain familiarity and recognition with your products and services. Our design team will work with whatever promotional material you may already have to achieve this goal. If you need assistance with your logo or Corporate ID, we will be more than happy to design one for you.

Q. When designing a Website, do you include meta tags?

A. Absolutely Yes! Meta tags are used to define meta data. What is meta data? In the most general terms, meta data is information about a document (the Web page). In a "nutshell", the whole underlying purpose of meta tags is to be picked up by the search engines. When we design a Website, we will automatically optimize custom meta tags for our clients. We will also submit your web site initially to all of the major search engines.

Q. Why should I hire Web2000Host.com to professionally design my Website when I can buy a program and do it myself?
A. Perhaps the best way to answer this question is, if your car needs to be repaired, why do you take it to a mechanic? If you are sick, why do you go to a doctor? Designing a site is not all that difficult, but it takes experience, knowledge of the industry, and specific design skills to develop a "GOOD" web site. Designing, maintaining and hosting web sites is our business. It is something we specialize in and do well. If you're going to have a chance of success online, you need to do it right the first time, or you can end up wasting or losing a lot of time and money. Hiring a professional gives you the best shot possible at succeeding.
Besides this, there is also a learning curve that goes along with any software program, you have an extensive time factor that comes into play. While these W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G (What You See Is What You Get) programs have come a long way to provide good looking templates, you shouldn't be treated as cookie dough about to go into the cutter. We make sure to take advantage of all new technologies and developments related to the Internet to stay ahead of the wave and to pass the new functionality on to our clients. By the time the software program is purchased, the technology is out of date.

Hosting
Q. What type of servers does Web2000Host.com use?
A. We use Linux-based servers, with multiple T-1 lines for speed and reliability. All data is backed up on a nightly basis to protect your sites' data. We monitor our server 24-hours a day, 7 days a week in case of any unexpected problems that may arise. We can guarantee 99.9% uptime.

Q. What is Web2000Host.com' opinion on free or cheap hosting?
A. Cheaper is not necessarily better, but a large price tag doesn't mean your getting the best out there either. There are many start-up companies offering either free or unbelievable hosting prices. Be wary of "deals" that sound too good to be true, because often these "great deal" companies go under, can't really live up to their promises, or bombard your site with banner ads to cover the "great deal" pricing. Other firms offer lower rates and then charge you more for any additional features or support you may require. Don't get nicked and dimed to death! Our hosting plan is all-inclusive! We continually "shop" our competition to see how our prices compare. Apples to apples, we are the most cost-effective solution! ** Note *** We also offer business solutions where hosting is totally free! Contact us for more information.

Maintenance
Q. Why do I need a Webmaster?
A. Most of our clients are not familiar with the more "technical" aspects of the business. Neither do the majority of them even want to get involved in this end of the business. They prefer to do what they enjoy most and are good at; and leave the rest to the "techies". This is why our motto is:
"YOU DO WHAT YOU ENJOY, AND WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THE REST!"
Your web business shopuld be fun and profitable. If it stops becoming fun for you, production slides downhill, and before long, you're walking away from the business with a bad taste in your mouth for the Internet.

Q. Why would a company outsource a Webmaster?
A. Cost. Hiring a full or even part time Web Designer / Webmaster, running the ads, screening candidates, a hefty salary, benefits, vacation, sick-time, personal days, etc…can be very expensive!

Our specialists are experts in every possible ingredient of what it takes to keep your site current and packed with up to date information!

Each client receives the quality service we've been known to provide!
