Web Services:
Having a presence on the web today is the equivelant of having a presence in the Yellow Pages in years past, you really should have atleast one,
and when done correctly a webpage will be a lot more valuable. The days of simply having a digital post card have come and gone.
A website can reduce workload by decreasing repetitive phonecalls of business hours, directions, frequently asked questions,
or services and products provided.
It could also provide specialized information, guides, support tips, or a shopping cart for internet sales.
If you can think of a viable website service to offer potential clients, it can most likely be done.
Domain Services...
XSi can secure the domain you requested providing availablity. Having the exact domain is not as important
as one might think. Most site visitors will be redirected from the World Wide Web via a search engine,
forum, website, or other outlet. Once purchased, your domain name will be registered for a minimum of one year at which
time a renewal will be required for an additional year. New domains can take up to 48 hours to propagate through the Domain Name Servers (DNS records).
Consultation...
A website can be relativly simple or extremely complex. XSi can help you bring your website ideas to life by
helping you understand what is acheivable and cost effective. A consultation will provide you with a basic
outline, timeline and estimate the cost of the project.
Content/Design...
The hardest part of any web project is the actual content. After a brief consultation you will have an idea
of the pictures, text, and information required to properly present your web project. After the content is collected
it needs to be formatted into a webpage which constitutes the design.
The design constitutes colors, art, the placement of buttons and the flow of the content throughout the web page.
Hosting...
XSi is pleased to announce the launch of an in house hosting facility. By serving in house we have total
control over server maintenance schedules and all aspects of our internal network. With a 99.9% uptime you
can be sure your website or servers will be accessible when you need them.
We are proud of the fact that
our facility stayed running without interuption during the "5 days of darkness" following the December 11th
ice storm of 2008 which crippled the Northeastern United States.
Email Domains...
Creating an email account that points to an existing or new domain is inexpensive, straightfoward, and reliable. XSi can create and configure
all the required mail records and point them accordingly. There are also free applications available to handle the routing of your email domain.
After the mail records are updated with the registrar, it can take up to 48 hours for the changes to propagate through the web.
