Website Hosting Introduction
To have a website, you first need a domain name/URL (such as www.urbandriftwood.com). That domain name has to point to a computer (server) that has your website information stored on it (hosted). So in a nutshell, to have your website on the world wide web it needs to be hosted by someone. Urban Dirftwood provides hosting services for websites of all sizes. We have developed 3 different hosting plans that scale to meet the needs of your business's website.
We can assist you in choosing a domain name that suits your business and we will take care of registering and renewing this name. In the event that your desired domain name is reserved, we will search to find a variety of similar domain names that are available and guide you in choosing the best name. We can also provide you with advice on reserving domain names that you do not intend to use but are very similar to your chosen name. This may help avoid confusion by your customers.
Urban Driftwood has partnered with the premier Joomla hosting provider, Rochen. In addition to their unmatched reliability Rochen is undertaking a number of green initiatives including carbon offsetting, energy efficient technology investments and improvements to their business processes. More information on their green initiatives can be found at http://www.rochenhost.com/about/green
For clients with specific hosting needs we have partnered with Walser Technology Group to provide customized, local hosting.

As the Urban Driftwood team understands Main Street organizations and is already involved with downtown development work, the process changed from educating a vendor to allowing us to learn how we could use our site more effectively. The focus shifted to improving communication with stakeholders and customers, and keeping our information current.
