Website Hosting from PlanetMagpie – 100% Business-Class Hosting, Enterprise-Level Reliability

Everyone has the same question when it comes to web hosting. Is it reliable?

Picture this: All websites hosted on new, high-performance IBM servers. A 30MB pipeline for bandwidth (one of the fastest backbone connections available).  Backups occur daily, and are taken off-site. 99.9% uptime through Cisco and Juniper routers. Microsoft-certified engineers monitoring servers 24-hours a day, every day.

And only professional websites are hosted in our datacenter.  No consumer or personal sites.

This is how PlanetMagpie defines "reliable."

We built PlanetMagpie's Website Hosting to be the best business-class Bay Area web host. We know websites are many companies' lifelines. And we know what's necessary to keep your lifeline up and running. Hosting features like these:

Standard PlanetMagpie Hosting Features

  • Reliable high-speed backbone connectivity with 99.9% uptime
  • The latest security enhancements, installed as they come available
  • Highest quality networking hardware available (IBM servers and Cisco routers)
  • 24/7 live phone and email support
  • Access to PlanetMagpie Web Developers for quick updates, enhancements, and troubleshooting of your website and web applications. (Standard hourly rates apply.)
  • Daily backups for all hosting servers
  • 10 FREE email accounts with worldwide access to your personal webmail (additional email accounts can be purchased in increments of 10 at $10 per month)
  • Server-side anti-virus protection and spam filtering
That’s just the technical side. The "service" part of our "hosting service" is even more professional:

1. Live Phone/Email Support: Our engineering team actually picks up the phone when it rings. We also answer emails as they come in. Simple, but many hosting providers will leave you stuck in the voicemail maze. We don’t even have one.

2. Bay Area Hosting for Bay Area Companies: Did you know that where your host is located affects your website's load time? Think about it – pages hosted in Sweden take longer to reach Bay Area customers than pages hosted in the Bay Area. Those seconds make the difference between a customer reading your site, and a customer getting bored and clicking Back.

3. "Green" Server Room: We upgrade servers regularly, year after year. This way we always have the latest hardware and security protections from Microsoft, Cisco and IBM. And we recycle the old servers, helping us to stay green.

4. Enterprise-Level Quality: PlanetMagpie hosts small to enterprise-level websites, on-site and through colocated servers. So we must have fast, solid backbone connections to meet their bandwidth demands.

5. We Do It for the Customers: Hosting is not a major profit source for us. We host because it helps our customers (80% of our hosting customers came to us for IT consulting, network support or web development first.). We also do it to make life easier on ourselves and our customers. Because we control the server settings, it’s much easier to make quick site changes if the hosting server is right here.

Standard Monthly Hosting Cost: $30.00
Basic Setup Charge: $75.00 (Covers up to one hour of labor for setup. Time spent in excess of 1 hour will be billed at our standard rate. Additional charges may apply.)

This is 100% business-class web hosting. True, PlanetMagpie is not the cheapest out there, but it doesn't aim to be. We aim to be the best. When it comes to a company website, the cornerstone of every modern business, do you want the cheapest hosting—or the best?
