We researched extensively for an high quality yet affordable web hosting service with all the features we needed and an exemplary reputation for stability and customer service. We found a hosting wholesaler that we like so much that we decided to sign up as a reseller so that we could offer this service as an alternative to our clients. We have hosted with this provider since fall of 2003, and do not hesitate to recommend them.

Our service hosts all accounts on top of the line servers, running the latest stable Apache software over Red Hat Linux. The network is fully redundant, route optimized with the best tier 1 carriers so that you always have the fastest speeds available. They utilize fiber optic connectivity and if one or more providers fail, for any reason, you won't notice a thing, as their other providers take the load. We have a 100% network SLA which means we stand by what we sell.

All servers are monitored 24-hour/day by top-notch technical support personnel. Unlike many other hosting providers, ours provides three levels of backups. They have offsite backups so in the event of a disaster, your data is always safe. All of the servers have Hardware RAID as well as backup drives on the servers themselves. If you have any problems, you can contact Coloma Communications for support via telephone or email. We guarantee a response within 24 hours.

Please note: because our primary business is site creation and maintenance, our Coloma Communications hosting accounts are intended primarily for our web design clients. We do accept a few hosting-only clients, but in order to ensure good support, we must limit the number. If we cannot accommodate you, we will refer you to another provider.

Note: Effective June 6, 2009, our hosting provider moved into its new and improved datacenter. In the process, they substantially increased our disk and bandwidth allocations, allowing us to double or triple allocations for our hosting clients without increasing the prices. After monitoring performance for 8 months, we decided we could safely increase the allocations again in February, 2010.

* To reduce billing overhead (thus keeping your costs down), we require payment for either six months or one year in advance, with a discounted price for annual payments. You may pay by check or use PayPal to pay with credit card. If you choose to terminate your account for any reason, we will refund you the unused portion of your pre-payment.
** In order to avoid being perceived as a source of spam, some restrictions apply to the use of mailing lists. Please contact us for more information.

These bandwidth and space limitations are more than adequate for most small to medium-sized web sites. If the average size of your web pages is 60kb (for example, 10kb of text and two 25kb graphics), one GB/month corresponds to over 16,600 page hits. If you need more space or bandwidth than is provided in the Premium account, contact us for a quote.

Coloma Communications does not provide web design or hosting services for "adult" (pornographic) sites, or for those with content that is illegal or offensive (such as "hate" sites). We do allow sites with legitimate use of adult content for informational or aesthetic purposes, such as breast cancer awareness or an artist's portfolio. If you are not sure whether your site fits within our guidelines, contact us to discuss your plans.
