There are thousands of discount hosting companies out there that promise a lot of space and bandwidth at very low prices. Hosting companies can do this because they know that most of their users will only use a fraction of the resources they have been allotted. This hosting environment is called "shared hosting" and is the most common hosting environment in which many websites are crammed onto one web sever machine.
While this may be economical, you are at the mercy of the other anonymous users of this same machine. If one website that uses this machine crashes, it can take your website down with it. This is sometimes known as being hosted in a "bad neighborhood."
The quality of your website hosting environment is as important as the design and development of your website and while you can host your site elsewhere, we highly recommend that your site is hosted on our server.
If you choose to host your site with Variant Studios, you can rest assured that your site will be safe, secure and backed up. VS offers hosting on its managed dedicated server, which is managed by Surpass Hosting. Because this is a dedicated server, we are the only people who use the resources of this computer, and everyone in your server "neighborhood" is a client of VS. Variant polices the neighborhood regularly — so you have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that should something go wrong, we will work directly with the server experts at Surpass to resolve issues quickly — at no additional cost to you.
Along with hosting, Variant Studios can also manage and maintain your domain names (www.yourDomainName.com) on a yearly basis. While some clients choose to maintain their own domains, you can avoid the hassle of phishing scams, information update requests, annoying phone calls and yearly renewals by allowing us to manage your domain names.
