Website Hosting
The Basic Shared Hosting Plan is a perfect solution for sites with low-to-medium levels of traffic. Your website will reside on a server with the power and bandwidth needed to give your site a fast and reliable online presence.
The basic plan costs just $12.50 / month ($150 annually) for one domain name (e.g., example.com). This plan includes 35 GB of storage. Hosting plans are enhanced and customized to meet customer requirements.
Enhanced plans can include special server side applications and configurations, such as Apache Solr, the real time indexing and full-text enterprise search platform and .htpasswd protection for websites. Database support is also available. Enhanced plan pricing is flexible and negotiable; it all depends upon the specific needs of the client.
Private Cloud Servers
With ownCloud you can store your files, folders, contacts, photo galleries, calendars and more on a private, dedicated server. Access your data from your mobile device, your desktop, or a web browser. Use it to get the most recent version of your files with the desktop and web client or mobile app of your choosing, at any time. Use it for extra file storage or as a backup system.
ownCloud can also be used to share your data with others. Give them access to your latest photo galleries, your calendar, your music, or anything else you want them to access. With or without password or time limit, share it publicly, or privately. It is your data, do what you want with it.
We can installed a dedicated ownCloud server at your business location. Your secure cloud server can be configured so that it is only accessible from you internal network or as one that can be reached by your employees using the Internet while away from the office.
BridgeTown has shared cloud servers too. Your data is just as private as with a dedicated server, but other customers use the same server for their cloud space too, giving you total control of your data at a lower cost.

Dedicated Web Servers
BridgeTown Hosting Co. can set up a dedicated web server for a customer’s exclusive use. This is an excellent solution for websites with a high volume of traffic and for those seeking more robust security. With a dedicated web server you have the assurance that the computer system powering your website will not get slowed down by activity of other websites on the same system.
While our shared hosting servers are very secure, a dedicated server adds additional protections. For instance, by reducing risks that are outside the control of your webmaster, such as potentially vulnerable code on another website running on a shared server. BridgeTown Hosting Co. can build a dedicated server to meet your needs. We’ll provide the right hardware and software to keep your site humming along. Your dedicated system can even be built to run your private, semi-private, or public ownCloud installation in addition to the web server.
Email Services
We have affordable email packages available. Use your own domain name (e.g., your-business-name.com) or one of ours. Your email can be hosted on a shared server at the iNetPlanet data center or even on your own private server at your location. Using your own domain name will provide a more professional appearance to your organization and enhance data security for you and your customers.
Using an @gmail.com, @outlook.com or @yahoo.com address for your business hurts your brand strength. If you don’t have your own domain name, we can help you get one that suits your needs and helps your brand stand out.
On-Site Server Installations
Considering installing a server in your office?
BridgeTown Hosting Co. provides on-site server installations. We build, sell, and install Linux/Apache (No, we don’t do Windows!) web servers, file servers, and cloud servers. Service contracts are available for maintenance. We can also provide training and support as needed. Having an in-house server is not for everyone but if you believe your organization might be a good candidate, call for a free consultation. We’ll help you explore the options and see if it makes sense for your situation. Often Linux servers require very little upkeep and having your own means you can say goodbye to hosting fees.
