Every website you see on the internet is hosted somewhere.
The chart below shows you the difference between hosting with Modern Web Studios and most hosting companies.

Easy-To-Use Website Editor Gives you the ability to edit your website from your web browser and it’s as simple as using Word to write a letter to your Uncle Frank! SERIOUSLY! (actually, probably easier because sometimes I just can’t find the right words to say to him… he’s so full of puns and sarcasm… anyway, you get the idea. It’s EASY!”
WordPress Core Security Updates Note: The only option for THEM is to turn on auto-updates but let you deal with the mess when an update breaks your website because there’s incompatibility with your plugins or theme! WE have a team that handles these updates manually, to ensure it’s done right!
WordPress Theme Updates The only option for THEM is to turn on auto-updates then let you deal with the mess when an update breaks your website because there’s incompatibility with the WP version you’re running or plugins! WE have a team that handles these updates manually, to ensure it’s done right!
WordPress Plugin Updates The only option for them is to turn on auto-updates but let you deal with the mess when an update breaks your website because there’s incompatibility with the WP version you’re running or theme! WE have a team that handles these updates manually, to ensure it’s done right!

Volume-purchased Licensed Plugins You would normally have to pay for individual plugin licenses on an annual basis, but with us; you won’t have to because we buy bulk discounted licenses for use on our servers.
Toll Free Access to Real Website Designers for Premium Support! Premium means we don’t just “Guide you to the support videos” (although many people prefer those because they can watch them, pause and replay; even at 1am). We will not only walk you through the steps to do whatever is needed, we can and will connect to your computer and help you by screen share. It’s like we’re right there at your computer with you, even if you’re in FRANCE! (we can say that because we have clients in the romantic city).
Real Small Business Advice. (not a sales pitch disguised as advice) Yes, we will give you our brutally honest experienced opinion on a small business decision you’re facing, so you have some additional input to make a more informed decision. Obviously we’re no attorney, but we can certainly tell you if something is a BAD idea based on our 25+ years of being in business.
Access to our Custom Buttons and Banners Access to our collection of over 300 Graphics, Banners, and various Design Elements you can just drop in your page to make you look like a Pro-Designer!

Built-in Design Tools Tools that make adding 3-dimensional shadows, glows and animated effects to your website a snap in just two clicks!
Built-in Search Engine Optimization Tools We have SEO tools AND basic SEO training to ensure you know how to use them effectively! Most everyone else charges thousands for this training. Skip the seminars, we can help!
Unlimited Pages and Blog Posts With our easy to use visual editing experience you can easily add, categorize and place unlimited content on your site. With our specialized training we will even show you how to stylize your content to make it more user… and Google friendly!
Large Photo Capacity When you see this on OTHER hosting sites saying “unlimited”… there’s usually some fine print. What makes OURS different is our platform optimizes your images for web use. Meaning you can upload literally hundreds of photos verses dozens on their platforms.
Unlimited Portfolio/Galleries Our state of the art folder system makes keeping your images organized a breeze. With our gallery program you can add as many different galleries as you like to showcase your work on different pages.
Unlimited Digital Forms (Contact forms, Quote forms, Review forms etc.) Forms are a great way to collect information safely, but we don’t stop there. Our unique system actually blocks certain keywords to cut down on the overseas junk emails!
No Contracts, month-to-month billing Sometimes things happen and you need to take your site down, so we don’t have long term contracts to lock you in.
Access to an AWESOME and Truly Caring Support Staff for updates & advice We don’t mean to brag, well maybe a little; but we are quite well known for our award winning service. Our team isn’t made up of teenagers or call centers looking through a flip book, we are career professionals bringing years of experience to the table to help your website get better and better.

Additional Features we provide that most hosting companies do not:

Information specific to YOUR website. Most WordPress hosting providers can only provide general info. Why? They didn’t build your website. With wordpress there are thousands of themes, plugins and editing platforms that create an infinite set of possibilities. With us, we support what we build, so there is never any issue.
Weekly Backups made offsite to protect your website in case of an emergency. Offsite is important because you want to ensure there’s a copy of the site in two locations, not just one.
Quickly Create Thumbnails Click to enlarge photos out of your large photos in just two clicks!
Page Archive ability so you can restore a page to it’s previously “Backed up” version.
Offline Mode (take your site offline or under construction with one click.
Image folder system to keep you organized
SPAM filtering forms system! We block most of those nasty overseas submissions so you can stay on task!

We like to compare our hosting to other hosting companies with a reference to leasing a building…
Other hosting companies are like a landlord that lives in another state, you pay them and they fix anything that goes wrong (on their schedule, just to satisfy their obligation as a landlord). We’re more like a landlord that lives next door, that’s always available for advice and that comes over to help you unload a shipment once in a while. Long term business relationships… it’s what causes our customers to not only stick around for the long haul, but also refer their valuable friends and customers to us.

Please don’t hesitate to give us a call or email us if you have
any questions about hosting (or any of our services for that matter).
