Internet Presence Pricing

[Hosting] [eCommerce] [Maintenance] [Web Site Development] [Hourly Rates]

Three elements comprise the cost of your Internet Presence:

  1. Website Development
    The actual cost to develop your site depends on many things (see discussion below). We have developed complete multi-page websites for as little as $350.00 and as much as $54,000.00. You will be provided with a firm proposal to build the site to your specifications prior to commencing the project - there will be no surprises and what's more we will be happy to discuss the ways in which you can minimize your site development cost. We have included an itemized development cost breakdown table below so that you can get a feel for the items that may go into your website and their cost.

  2. Server Rental (Hosting)
    The Virtual Server (hosting) prices shown below include a wealth of services that many companies charge extra for or don't even offer. These services include among others: a comprehensive report detailing access to your website, server maintenance and administration, FrontPage extensions, access to your own CGI programs and no extra charge for bandwidth.

  3. Domain Parking
    This Service allows you to PARK a domain without a website on one of our Servers. Included in the price is the ability to alias all mail sent to anyname@yourdomain.com to an email address you provide and an optional re-direction to an existing website address.

  4. Optional Website Maintenance
    It is a truism that in order to bring people back to your website you need to keep your site interesting and fresh. The best way to do this is to maintain your Web pages yourself. We have trained many of our clients to maintain their own web pages. On the other hand if you do not have the resources to maintain your site either in terms of time or the necessary software tools then we offer optional Website maintenance programs priced to meet your needs. Our Level-3 maintenance option even includes the extremely valuable WebPosition package.

Ashton ITC provides our clients with a turn-key solution. You can put your entire Internet Presence in our hands with complete confidence, or better yet stay involved and let us partner with you. For those organizations versed in Unix and Internet server networking administration, our ITCnet division offers redundant OC3 connections to fast and powerful virtual servers that you setup, control and maintain.

Follow the links in the pricing tables below for details on Server and maintenance options.

A Discussion of Website Development costs -
How could the price of website development vary so much ($350.00 to $54,000.00 for example)?

A lot of it has to do with the purpose of the site - for example, the owner of a Bed-and-Breakfast who supplies photographs and copy concerning their business for the purpose of providing basic information for tourists with the ability for a Web visitor to send them e-mail can have an effective website for a few hundred dollars, even less if they provide us with information in a digital format (i.e. word processing file, image files, etc.). Add the ability for the web visitor to make reservations on-line and the cost can go up significantly - depending on sophistication anywhere from a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars extra.

On the other hand, a large national mail order firm that wants to put thousands of items in an on-line catalog including images of each item and the ability for visitors to order on-line with a virtual shopping cart can easily spend several hundred thousand dollars for a site.

Here are some things you can do to minimize the cost of developing your website:
