Web hosting provides the virtual front-end to the client's cyber presence, applications, web site, email, order tracking, and customer service.

Sanity LLC recommends an appropriate web site hosting package for each web design and web development project from shared hosting accounts to self-managed servers.

Website hosting instructions

We advise clients to rely on their website professional to select an appropriate web hosting environment.

Many websites have less than 40 pages and under 25,000 views per month. These smaller sites can probably be hosted for under $100 per year.

All web hosting projects and websites require SSL certificates or risk being blocked by web browsers and search engines.

SSLs are typically included with cPanel sites and often included in web hosting accounts.

Higher level SSLs with increased encryption can also be purchased for high-volume, high-value e-commerce websites.

Website hosting caveats

Do not allow your website professional or hosting company to oversell your hosting needs.

Do not expect "do-it-yourself" website builder offerings to replace the skills of a qualified professional.

Improperly designed websites are penalized by search engines and Google algorithms.

Wordpress is used in a surprising number of websites despite its large number of security reports.

Several of the larger web hosting companies have been merged into a massive conglomerate which lays off support staff almost immediately. requests which used to be resolved in hours began to exceed a week. The working environment became toxic and reflected in daily operations.

Choosing a website host

Don't overcomplicate the selection of a web host. Find a reputable host (we recommend KnownHost) that offers a high-level of support (e.g. turn around on request occurring in hours instead of days and weeks). Many hosts offer simple, prorated upgrades/downgrades resulting in little or no downtime. KnownHost takes this a step further by performing the transition from your old web host to their servers for free.

Recommended web hosting provider

The majority of people reading this will benefit from shared web hosting, which is the traditional method of serving web-based content. Specific needs and demanding web projects will typically move to a VPS or a dedicated server. Sanity LLC operated dedicated servers for years, but found increased profit by outsourcing to a third-party provider. We refer all of our clients to KnownHost, as they have earned our trust.
