24 Mar 09 Getting the most out of Gossimer Web Hosting!

Those of us in Gossimer’s Support Team want to reach out to the public by sharing some descriptions of what websites could be missing out on without using our web hosting service. So we’ve brought together the following information:

Gossimer’s Windows Only Hosting has a lot of features, but Tandem Server stands out from the rest. It is an easy-to-use Content Management System, but it produces very professional looking websites. You are not required to use it and with Gossimer’s Linux Hosting, there are other special features that aren’t always available with other hosts, like Auto Correct URL Spelling (limiting the amount of HTTP error pages shown), Unlimited Web Forwarding Rules (for any local folder, sub-folder, file), Direct Download Manager (making the transfer of server-to-server data seamless), and Website Speed Booster (where websites can be delivered twenty times or more faster!). All of these greatly reduce the amount of time in back-office work because they do not require website coding nor separate software. What’s more, customers can make use of their space efficiently because they can control their raw log files, creating rotations, deleting or even disabling them completely.

Gossimer is really unique because it offers private folders in every web hosting package, and private in this case means that they are not included in the web directory and they are only accessed by FTP (in other words, they are not accessible via HTTP). Customers don’t have to learn PHP or programming to have access to their web statistics. They don’t have to set-up a separate account with an external service to get information on the visitors of their website, the number of which are unique, the number of hits, the average duration spent during each visit, the most viewed pages, which search engines brought them there, and which keywords were used. Not only that, Gossimer offers a back-up manager that can have custom adjustments for different directories and when changes are being made or there is a redirect error for any reason, customers can have their own message in the HTTP error pages too!

In comparison to the thousands of other web hosting companies found on the internet today, Gossimer is perhaps the most customizable. It has quality options while offering the lowest price. Obviously, we have a bias as Gossimer’s Support Team, but who better to give details on the in’s and out’s of webhosting than those of us who are on the inside? We know that other webhosts use bad techniques to get their customers; some web hosts offer unlimited webspace but the fine print might say otherwise. Other companies offer a very low price per month, but customers have to pay at least one year in advance! Let’s not even mention a free domain name, where prepayments have to be made for at least twice that amount of time. Gossimer offers 5 free domain name aliases with each hosting package and we will never charge a set-up fee. Add to that a minimum term of six months starting at $1.89 a month, and it’s a steal! Potential customers can get a lot more just by trying out the service rather than paying more than two or three times that amount for only one month with other hosts!
