Own Web Now has been a part of the virtual web hosting industry since its very inception. Over the years the product offering has changed but our core values have not and it is important to understand that we are quite different than your usual web hosting company. From globally redundant infrastructure to not overselling, Own Web Now Virtual Web Hosting is designed to deliver peak performance with the features that make sense.

Traditional virtual web hosting businesses resell the same server to thousands of customers, with plans consisting of same features but varying amounts of storage and bandwidth. The offerings are generally priced to showcase the value of the most expensive offering and get the customer to sign for the more expensive plan they will likely not use. This leads to overselling and poor performance associated with many web hosting companies.

At Own Web Now we do not oversell. We do not have multiple pricing plans. We do not offer different feature sets on different plans. As web designers and developers we know the true lifecycle of a web application. There are startup web sites or proof of concept applications suitable for small business and design demonstrations. When you grow past that you generally do not grow in the space and bandwidth demands alone - you require further Administrative control, dedicated resources, ability to modify server configuration and optimize the application. Beyond that there are dedicated servers, load balancers, content distribution networks and scalable storage. No matter the size nor the configuration, you can trust Own Web Now to design and serve your online presence needs.

Now that you are aware of our philosophy, here are the typical features our clients and partners use to power their online presence solutions.

Virtual Servers

As your web presence grows, you will typically need to deploy additional software or modify the server configuration to enable advanced functionality. Virtual Servers will give you the full flexibility of a dedicated server at fraction of the price. Virtual Servers come with administrative access (root via SSH on Linux, Administrator via RDP on Windows) that allows you to change configuration, install software and manage security policies on top of massively redundant hardware.

Dedicated Servers

As organizations grow in the cloud, additional applications that integrate with your web sites and web applications start to make sense. Own Web Now's Dedicated Servers give you access to enterprise-quality hardware managed by our staff on our world-class network, giving you the peace of mind that you won't have to worry about setting up servers, managing colocation services or all the complexities of warranty & server provisioning. Our dedicated servers are typically used in virtualization scenarios, allowing organizations to spin up multiple servers on the same hardware and use the same dedicated system across the organization. For example, many customers run their web sites and email in one virtual system while another is used for remote access to QuickBooks and line of business (LOB) applications.
