"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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- PHP4
- Perl 5.x
- Supported Databases
- MS-SQL 2000

You can access your database
using either TCP/IP from your computer or using the web
based interface available in the control panel that comes
with your account.
- ODBC
You can either use File based DSNs
by setting them up in the control panel or DSNless
connections via ODBC. We support:
- Paradox
- Visual FoxPro

Driver
|
- Microsoft JET OLEDB
(Access)

Each account comes with some
very popular scripts ready to use. Look for them under
the cp directory once your account has been created.
- ASP
Scripts
- ConquerChat (Windows Plans

ConquerChat is a useful
application that allows a number of people on the World
Wide Web to talk to one another simultaneously. The
ability to chat on the Web can be a quick way to hold a
virtual meeting.

guestbook system.

be include some tag IMG of your Web page.

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
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?
- phpBB
phpBB is a high powered, fully
scalable, and highly customizable Open Source bulletin
board package. phpBB has a user-friendly interface, simple
and straightforward administration panel

a rich set of out-of-the-box online shopping cart
functionality that allows store owners to setup, run, and
maintain their online stores with minimum effort and with
no costs, fees, or limitations involved.
- 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:

|

control panel of your 'Nix plan.
- 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
SPAM
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.

P.S. Don't forget, we are the only
hosting company that is run by web developers.

loose by trying our service.
P.P.P.S. Your account will only be
accessible to you. We don't assign the IUSR account
priveledges to everyone on the server.
P.P.P.P.S. If you need help, we'll go
as far as SHOWING you how to do something. Nobody else comes
close to the level of support we provide.
