Website Hosting
We’ve Tripled Our Plans!
We’ve recently upgraded to bigger servers and a faster network, and now it’s time to start using it! We’ve actually tripled (or more!) the amount of webspace, traffic, and POP3 mailboxes offered on each of our three plans, with no increase in price. Come see for yourself the results of four years of reliable service and friendly support. Sign up now!
Domain Registration
Don’t pay $35/year, register your domain with us for just $15/year. Or, pay for the first three months of your website hosting package in advance and your domain registration is free! Beware hosts that register the domain in their own name. With GetWebSpace.com you are the owner of the domain, and if you cancel our service for any reason, you can take the domain with you without paying a penny or losing a day off your registration. We can register .com, .net, or .org domains, and can help you with any other extension, like .info and .biz. Country codes like .us and .ca are no problem. Start your search now using the box below.

About Us
Adam Ellsworth

Why us? Website hosting isn’t just disk space and network speed anymore, you can get that anywhere. We’ve been providing personal customer service and support, and fast, reliable hosting service since we opened in December, 1999 – over six years ago! It’s about quality service and quality support. And to us, those aren’t empty buzzwords, it’s our promise; it’s how we think.

Customer Service
We are big enough to manage our own servers and have total flexibility to meet our customers’ needs, and yet still small enough to be on a first-name basis with most of our customers. That’s our niche! We don’t have hundreds of call center agents reading from a script, we just have a few phone lines. If we’re all helping other people (which almost never happens) we really will call you right back – usually within a half hour. But more importantly, the people you talk to are the same people that set up the servers, and the same people you’ll talk to next time you need something. We’ve also installed a new, improved support ticket system and brought the average response time down to 15 minutes – even at 4am. We’re just a few people working to make a hosting service that’s great to work with, easy to use, powerful, and highly reliable – all at the same time.
Reliability
Our servers are at ServerMatrix in Dallas, TX – one of the best datacenters in the country, and our home for three years now. (At least some of the hosts you might be comparing are likely in the same building.) This central location is situated where several large Internet backbone networks connect, proving the fastest possible access to the US and customers worldwide.
Reliability SealOn our servers, we use redundant RAID-0 drives to ensure that even a physical hard drive failure results in no downtime. We employ an impartial 3rd-party monitoring company to check our systems every single minute, and regularly earn monthly uptimes of 99.99% to even 100%. You can read our report anytime by clicking the HyperSpin logo on our homepage, or right here.

This is our most popular entry-level plan for personal sites that don’t need advanced scripting or database features. This package provides enough space and bandwidth for nearly any static website, as well as 25 Email Accounts and over a dozen free website tools. Frontpage Extensions are also fully supported.
Our Database package adds full scripting capability to our Basic package, allowing nearly any dynamic content such as Photo Galleries, Blogs, and Content Management Software. We also include Fantastico – a collection of over 50 free scripts you can install right from our control panel.
Our Reseller package includes even more space and bandwidth and the ability to host up to 5 domains! This is ideal for web designers who want to host multiple unique sites under one account.
Our E-Commerce package isdesigned to be a one-stop solution for businesses. This package includes Secure SSL support, a dedicated IP address, and your choice of one of four shopping cart systems we provide, including osCommerce and Zen Cart, or your own custom scripts and software. We will set up your SSL certificate for FREE – a $30.00 value!
Website Hosting Comparison Chart
Our advertised price is our month-to-month price.
But we also offer a 10% discount for annual payments. This is backwards from many hosts you may compare us to, who advertise a great rate, but require you to pay as much as 2 years in advance to get that price. Also consider setup fees – divide them by 12 and you might find they can add $5 or more to the “actual” monthly price your entire first year.
Have you seen more disk space and bandwidth advertised elsewhere?
Just because another host offers even 10 times the space we offer doesn’t mean you’d ever need it – or even be allowed to use it. Offering 500GB of bandwidth for $9.95/month isn’t crazy, it’s just clever marketing. The trick? They limit your network speed. It’s no different than your local water provider offering 100,000 gallons of water for just $9.95/month, but you can only use a drinking straw. It’s just not possible to move that much water, and they’re doing the same thing with bandwidth. We don’t offer impossible amounts of bandwidth in our packages – anything larger would require a dedicated server no matter what host you choose or what they promise, due to CPU load alone. And we don’t throttle your network speed, so your site loads quickly every time.
In the end, there is always a cheaper host – they come and go. But after six years of growth, our customers tell us the level of service we provide is worth several times what we charge. Our advice? Choose your hosting company based on quality and support, and you’ll be a lot happier in the long run.
Do the math – choose us.
Don’t see something you need or someone else offers? Just ask! There’s a lot of clever marketing teams out there. We probably already offer it and either never thought to add it to the list, or call it by a much simpler name.
