The original concept for theNoise came about because many of my artist and musician friends wanted help setting up websites and finding affordable web hosting services. At the time, I was leading a Fortune 100 corporation through their Internet strategies and later moved into a consulting firm doing the same for the Fortune 500. As I spent more time with non-profit organizations, where I felt the future lies, their need for services grew, too. So I decided to create an affordable but full featured internet service provider (ISP) focused on web-hosting for startups to meet the needs of these types of smaller and mid-sized organizations and grow with them into the future..

Yeah, this website and info isn't pretty, but it tells ya what you need to know, generally, and you can try it out for free. If you have questions, I have answers.

The short story, though, is that it works and I have almost 100% repeat business - and continue to work to keep it that way (Clients only leave because they get a freebie, or quit their business). Let me know if you have questions or want to get an account. Contact us at info@noise.org.

We have managed and monitored servers located in a secured data center with multiple connections to the backbone, regular backups, and diesel generator backup. And we have large clients and dedicated servers as well as reseller accounts and virtual private servers (VPS, segmented "dedicated" servers).

Our philosophy is to provide a full-service, self-managed hosting environment that is sold based solely upon disk space and bandwidth, not on nickel-and-diming you to death on individual e-mail accounts, forwarders or additional databases. The functionality on the server is already available and to charge more to have us flip a switch on a web page that disabled such is ludicrous IMHO (in my/our humble opinion). Others will sell you unlimited space/bandwidth, but they don't really mean it, and others will gobble up your resources and make your service suffer. Do you really want to depend upon a "cheaper" service that oversells at the expense of your uptime?

Our web and email hosting packages start at $5/mo, payable annually as $60 (prorated monthly if you leave). This is the smallest package we currently offer, but have much, much more, too. We also can accept credit cards.

We will provide you with the directions you need to migrate your account without service interruption should you want that.

We hope you will consider doing business with us, and if you have any questions, please let us know.

We also have Reseller Accounts, as well as Private and Dedicated Servers. A Shared Reseller account is an additional $5/month which includes an Administrator Control Panel for managing your accounts. We can add SSL certificates for $50/year.

Note: All accounts are IP-less (IP is not dedicated, rather it's shared; only SSL accounts really need an IP). For costs, see extras below.
