thishostingservice is a virtual private server set up through web-hosting superstar Media Temple. We're not here to deceive you and say that we bought all kinds of hardware when we didn't. We are simply reselling easy-to-use web hosting provided by one of the leaders in the industry. They save us all the hardcore work of backing up and upgrading and making sure the T3's don't go down. All we do is set up your account, give you access to your own control panel, and set the system to cruise.
We're not a properly incorporated business entity and provide absolutely no guarantees, warranties, uptime agreements, training, tech support plans or anything of the sort. If you need those things, go straight to Media Temple and sign up with them directly. thishostingservice is just that - a service provided mostly to clients of thisdesignstudio.com and not a full-on web hosting business. If you're still on board, even with all of the caveats, we'd like to say that we make every attempt to keep things running smoothly and are available via email to handle most issues.
To keep things as simple as possible, we've set up three package deals. We can customize these if you like, but we think that one of the three will cover your needs. Take a look and send us an email when you want to sign up. We'll take it from there...
Yours,
