Hosting Packages Features

IMAGE: Business Life Cycle diagramThe hosting packages at Gressing are designed with the business owner in mind. Each package is optimized for a specific time in the business development life cycle, and is priced to coincide.

The Gressing In-Gress hosting package is perfect for the initial, or startup, phase. It contains enough disk space, bandwidth, and standard features to allow for a strong web presence, while not adding much to your bottom line. During the Growth phase of the business lifecycle, the Ag-Gress hosting package is a logical choice. As your company enters the third phase, Expansion, you will benefit from the increased capacity and professional tools included with the Pro-Gress hosting package. During the Maturity phase of the business life cycle, the E-Gress hosting package, which includes e-commerce tools, is well suited.

Additionally, for those business owners who have an IT staff or choose to manage their own hosting environment, Gressing provides a powerful control panel that allows easy management of all major hosting functions and provides onboard tools to install and configure a variety of included applications and utilities.

IMAGE: Screenshot of Software Installation windowAll of the applications included with your hosting account can be installed with a single click, followed by entering a few lines of information (user name, password, directory to be installed, etc.), and clicking Install. By installing only the applications that you want, when you need them, you avoid taking up disk space or databases that could be used for something else. This is just another way that your Gressing accounts grow as you grow and as you need.

If you would prefer not to manage your own hosting account, Gressing can do it for you. Review our Website Solution Summary for additional information or sign up for a Gressing Hosting Account today.
