"Web Hosting for Web Developers" 

"Who else wants Web Hosting Designed SPECIFICALLY for Web Developers?"

Dear Friend,

We've developed a Web Hosting service specifically for web developers.

Now, I know you're probably skeptical. That's normal and healthy. Let me give you three good reasons I can back up what I claim:

Three Reasons To Believe What I Say

  1. I'm a web developer too.
    My biggest frustration was every "reputable" company I tried might have known how to setup a web server, but I couldn't find any that could tell me why code that ran on my local computer didn't work on their computer. They just didn't understand programming. I wanted to create a web hosting company that I would be happy with.
     
  2. I've been developing web sites since Al Gore "invented the Internet."
    OK.. so he didn't really invent the Internet. But, my first web site was written in notepad because there wasn't any other way of writing web sites back then. I can at least read html, perl, php, asp, asp.net (in either csharp or vb.net). So, I'm well qualified to help you track down an issue.
     
  3. We know the dangers of running a web site as IUSR_MachineName.
    If your web hosting company is running your windows web site as IUSR_MachineName, you can use the FileSystemObject (FSO) and navigate the entire hard drive. It's a pretty simple matter from there to find another site and start messing with the files, or find an Access database and create an ASP or ASP.NET page that connects to it and starts siphoning data down. Every account we set up has account specific permissions. This means you are only able to access your own files.

Here is a summary of the benefits you receive

  • Support staff that understands web programming.
    Saves you time and effort because, you won't have to "dumb down" your problem to try and get a resonable answer.
     
  • Fast, redundant back bone connections to your server.
    If you've ever used a cheap host, you know the reason they are cheap is because they are SLOW. Our connections are fast, fast, fast. Everything else being equal, we think you'll be a lot happier with our speed than one of those "cheap" companies.
     
  • Security!
    Hey. You want some hacker able to access your code? I sure don't. That's why we make sure that each account is completely issolated from every other account.
     
  • An instant access domain.
    This allows you to move your site, make sure it works and then tell your registrar that you moved. This saves you time and makes the whole process of moving your account very easy.
     
  • A control panel that gives you complete control over your web site(s).
    Check out our control panel tour and you will see that you will be able to do just about anything you could do to your web site if it was in the same room you were in.
     
  • Languages we support
    Hey, you're a programmer right?  You really can't get much programming done if all you use is HTML.  And, I bet you want to know what languages and versions of those languages, we support.  So, here you go:
     
    • ASP under IIS6
    • ASP.NET currently 1.1. (2.0 is on the way soon).

    • PHP
      • Virtual PHP Chat  
        Virtual PHP Chat allows your users to conduct virtual meetings on-line. It is a small and simple chat web application which uses a flat file as a database.

        SpiderDiscussion will allow you to display how many visitors your website has received. It is a graphical counter. Custom digit images can be used. Leading zeroes can be added to the count to achieve a speedometer effect. The counter can track only unique IP addresses or count all hits.

      • Jevonweb Guestbook  
        This is a simple PHP guestbook for personal websites. It is very easy to setup and to use.It does not require a database, it uses a flat database file.
         
  • Web Log Analysis Applications
    • Webalizer
      The Webalizer is a fast, free web server log file analysis program. It produces highly detailed, easily configurable usage reports in HTML format, for viewing with a standard web browser.

    • AwStats
      AwStats is another great log file analysis program.  Of all the free offerings available, I personally think this is the best of the bunch.
       
    • ModLogon
      A stats package available for our 'Nix plans only.
       
    • Urchin
      Now owned by Google, we support Urchin 5 for an extra $5.00/month per domain.  Urchin gives you the best details about what's going on with your site and is an absolute must if you are hosting a commercial web site.
       
  • Ready to install scripts. 
    Just press a button in the control panel and install these scripts without the usual mess of having to read instructions and make sure you get it right the first time.  You have better things to do with your time.  Why do it any other way?

  • Other scripts we can install for you.
    • DotNetNuke
      I've been installing and using "Web Portal" applications for years and I can tell you DotNetNuke is absolutely the best tool if you need a web site fast.  Don't go writing a custom web site until you've checked out this free tool.  If you signup for one of our DotNetNuke plans, we will install this package for you.
       
    • WordPress
      If you need a blog, I personally recommend this free blogging software.  It runs on any Windows or 'Nix plan that supports PHP and MySQL.
       
    • XOOPS
      Up until about a year ago, when I discovered DotNetNuke, XOOPS was my favorite web portal application.  PHP programmers may feel more comfortable using XOOPS.
       
    • phpNuke
      No, phpNuke isn't related to DotNetNuke.  But, it's been around for quite a while and has a large following.  If this is your application of choice, it will work on either or 'Nix or Windows plans that support PHP and MySQL.
       
    • Snitz Forum
      I've used the Snitz Forum on several of my sites.  A great ASP forum application that runs on any Windows plan.  It can use MS Access, but we highly recommend that you us MS-SQL if you expect it to run reliably.
       
    • LiveHelp
      Ever seen those web sites that have the "Live Help" icons?  I did some searching on the web and found a great open source package that you can use on your web site.  Just ask and I'll get you setup.
       
  • COM objects available under Windows plans
    If you're still using ASP to program your web site.  Or you have an existing application written in ASP, it may need specific server objects on the server.  We support:
  • AspCrypt
  • AspDNS
  • AspExec
  • AspFile
  • AspHttp3
  • AspImage
  • AspInet
  • AspMail
  • AspMX

  • SSH Access ('Nix Plans Only)
    If you want Secure Telnet access (SSH) just request it from the control panel and we'll set you up.
     
  • Email
    • Fight SPAMSpam Assasin
      Of course we have email servers here that you can send and recieve email from.  But, we have a few other features I think you'll be eager to use.  For example, every account has the option of using SpamAssasin to filter email for SPAM.  This can greatly reduce the amount of junk that shows up in your email box.
       
      We also give you the ability to enable SPF on your mail accounts as an additional way of reducing the SPAM problem.
       
    • Autoresponder
      Going to be out of town for a while?  You can have your email respond with a message saying so without having to keep your email client running at home the whole time.  Of course, you could use this for other business purposes too.
       
    • Forward Mail
      Maybe you want to have all your mail sent to one place.  You can forward all mail that comes into the mail servers here, or mail that comes to a specific email address on to another email address.
       
    • Catch All
      You can create a catch all email box that will recieve email for any @yourDomain.com email address that isn't setup in the control panel.  Be careful with this one, the SPAMmers love to send multiple emails to as many combinations as possible once they find a domain.
       
  • FTP Access
    Your site will be accessible via FTP so you can make changes whenever you want.
     
  • FrontPage Access
    Need FrontPage extensions?  We support both 2000 and XP extensions.
     
  • WebShell
    You can even upload, download, and edit files via our web based interface called WebShell.  Access this from the control panel once your account has been created.
     
  • Single Click Support
    You know what they say.  A picture is worth a thousand words.  Well, that's especially trouble when you are having a problem setting up your account.  Wouldn't it be great if someone could see what you are doing and either tell you what you're doing wrong or show you how to do it right?  That's what Single Click Support is all about.  If we can't help you using words, we'll give you a link to an application that you can run on your computer which will allow us to see your screen.  Once we disconnect, the application will uninstall itself.  Our customers LOVE this feature.  Who else helps you like that?
       
  • Ticket Based Support
    You can either create a ticket in your control panel, or you can send us an email.  We normally respond within 3 hours between the hours of 6am and 10pm Mon - Fri and no longer than 12 hours during the week end.
     
  • Phone based Support
    You can call between 6am and 10pm and get a direct answer from a web developer just like yourself.
     
  • 24 Hour 7 Day a week Server Monitoring
    Our techs monitor the computers 24 hours a day 7 days a week and know about problems before you do.  You don't need to worry about your site being down.
     
  • Advice
    One of the biggest advantages of working with a hosting company that understands programming is that you can ask us for advice.  Looking for software to perform a specific function?  Looking for a merchant account?  Need a coding tip?  We're not saying we have ALL of the answers.  But, we can probably save you a load of time if you just send us an email and ask us.  If we don't know, we'll say so.
     
  • An opportunity to make a little money.
    As a web developer, you probably have friends who ask you to create web sites for them, or maybe it's your business.  When you join our affiliate program, you can earn a recurring income (10% of the base plan's price) just by signing them up with DMB Hosting for their hosting needs.

Don't take my word for it.
Listen to what our customers say.


I have been with DMB Hosting for over two years now, and have not once run into a problem of service or billing discrepency. I've always been provided with friendly phone support, and have appreciated the benefits of more control over my web hosting account and setup than I ever had with other web hosting providers. I feel safe and sound setting up new client accounts under DMB Hosting.  Seamless hardware/software upgrades, notifications of scheduled maintainence times, and a number of flexible service plans really make me think that I have found THE last web hosting provider I'll ever need. DMB Hosting is definately the way to go...

Paul Bruce -- www.indesolutions.com
  ASP.NET Web Hosting Client

I host many web sites at DMB Hosting and I say without reservation that I am very pleased with the service. DMB provides affordable web hosting and Dave does a great job of migrating, supporting and maintaining my sites.  I need ASP.NET web hosting, and DMB delivers. Here I get a real person with real technical know-how, who demonstrates real accountability in delivering as promised. This is the strongest feature of the service.  If you want a responsive, accountable web host who has the know-how to handle almost any technical request, look no further than DMB Web Hosting.

Dan Mezick, New Technology Solutions

Thanks for getting this new site rolling for us. Our new DNN website should be out very soon (new DNS Settings request to be made today after another review).

Dave & Dan - Many thanks for gettting us into the new DNN!

"SB", www.ctdotnet.com  

My original plan was to go with a web hosting company that has been around for a while and is close to the area I practice business. After careful research, and 3 days of trying to rectify a problem that should not take more than a day, I decided to switch my web hosting solution over to DMB hosting.

The same exact issue was solved in less than 6 hours. Customer support was the best and they attended to the problem right away.

I had a noon deadline and DMB Hosting really played a huge role in accomplishing this task. Thanks!”

Rae Parth, Developer. 

DMB Hosting is by far the most dynamic and knowledgable hosting company I've ever worked with. I host 2 sites with DMB and a third is in the works. I simply haven't found a better hosting package out there for the money. If you're skeptical, I challenge you to answer this: How many hosting companies have you ever been able to ask a technical question to ... anything from a design conundrum to seeking third party tools that could help you get done what you need to get done in a timely fashion - and actually receive a non-evasive answer. You won't get evasive answers from DMB Hosting - they're a hard-core hosting company run by and for developers.

Warning: Do NOT buy a Web Hosting service
unless it meets the following 8 criteria

There is a lot of confusion surrounding our field. I want to give you 8 criteria or elements you absolutely, positively must have in any solution you obtain:

  • Obviously, the first issue is, does the hosting company support the technologies you want to use for your web development?
  • Does the support staff understand you when you ask them a question?
  • Do you understand the support staff when they answer you? 
  • Will your information be secure from prying eyes? Make sure a hacker can't ruin your work.
  • Is access to your web site going to be fast?  You don't want your visitors waiting forever for the page to get to their computer.
  • If you are moving your site, will you be able to move the site and test it before making the new site live? 
  • Will the support staff show you how to do something if needed or is it going to take a hundred emails to get that issue resolved?
  • Will you be able to make a recuring income by referring your friends, family and customers?

You can't lose with our 100%,
ironclad, moneyback guarantee

Your satisfaction is assured with our 30 Day, no questions asked, you can't make a mistake, 100% iron-clad money back guarantee. If for any reason, you aren't thrilled and satisfied with our product, just contact us within the first 30 days and we'll refund 100% of your purchase price. No hard feelings.

What I'm saying is, don't decide now if our web hosting service is for you. Just get it and try it out. If it doesn't do everything I say and more, if you don't save time and frustration, if it isn't the best customer service you've experienced in web hosting, if it doesn't work for you, you have nothing to worry about because you can get every dime of your money back under our no-loopholes guarantee. So you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
