Purchase and host
If you want to own your website right from the beginning, then you will pay me outright to develop a custom website for you. However, unless you manage your own web server, you will need to have somebody host it for you. You may find it advantageous to have me host your website for you. What are the advantages of hosting with me?
- I will make sure your website is up-to-date with the most current releases of the software. Whether it's the Drupal core code or one of the contributed modules you use on your site, you can rest assured that as soon as new code is available I will install it. (If none of what you just read makes any sense to you, then you definitely need to make sure you are hosting your website with me. If what you read does make sense to you, then you surely can see that this one benefit alone is worth the small amount of additional money you will spend.)
- I will perform regular backups of your website. So, in the event there is a problem with your site you will have a recent backup.
- If there is a problem with your website of any sort, you are able to contact me directly. You won't have to be caught in the middle of your web host and your Drupal website; if there is a problem, I will fix it.
You could host your site on a shared server. But, be aware that many shared hosting services can overload their servers.
Or you could manage your own VPS. Be prepared to invest significant time and money
Hosting your website with me gives you the best of all worlds. The hosting fee is only $15/month with a purchased website.
