Managed Hosting
The most important factors concerning hosting are: a stable serve and support you can trust. At AM Media Creators, we offer high-quality, managed hosting services designed to meet the needs of the small business or non-profit organization.

Some of the benefits of managed hosting include:
- Allowing you to focus your resources/personnel on the organization, not IT issues
- Avoiding confusing technical issues, which are frequent in website development and maintenance
- Providing on-demand support in the midst of server troubles
- Managing the growth and development of your online presence
We offer four packages, which accommodate a range of needs. Parked domains allow you to reserve a domain without having an official website. This is a nice way to ensure that your favorite domain is reserved for future use. E-mail hosting is an important step for every organization. Due to the increasing amount of scandalous e-mail, companies are resorting to aggressive Junk Mail strategies, which has resulted in e-mail issues for persons using random e-mail services. Another way to look at this issue is the professionalism of using a gmail.com, yahoo.com, or hotmail.com e-mail address. I am fairly confident that your e-mail address from the 10th grade is not your best option for communicating with future employers. Solution: Host your domain (www.andrewemiller.com), and we will provide quality e-mail services using Google’s Apps program. In the world of e-mail, Google is a name that you can trust. But, Google Apps goes a step further and uses your unique e-mail domain as the sender, i.e. aemiller@ammediacreators.com. More details on this program are found on the hosting and service pages
For those looking to host your website, we provide the resources you will need to be successful. Most sites will fall into the Traditional Package. This is the package to choose if you will not be loading your site up with media. It includes 10 email accounts as you need and plenty of space to build an effective website.
If you want to add (large amounts of) media to your site–i.e. podcast, sermon/audio messages, videos, large databases, survey software, etc.– the Media Rich Package is your best option. We are experts at implementing media online and making it work… RIGHT! We can also show you how to start broadcasting from your own hosting package and even advise you on what to do when the traffic load exceeds your site.
What is Google Apps
Many larger organizations rely on powerful communication suites to manage their e-mail and calendar . One popular example is Microsoft’s Exchange Server. Although these systems are powerful and comprehensive, the major problem is the associated cost. A mid-sized organization would budget in the thousands for an Exchange Server. Whereas, smaller to mid-sized organizations would rely on clunkier and more obsolete systems that failed to adequately meet the needs of the organization. Or, such organizations rely on popular e-mail services such as Yahoo! GMail, or Hotmail. But, the associated problems outweigh any possible benefits.
To overcome these performance and cost gaps, AM Media Creator uses Google Apps™, a sophisticated e-mail, calendar, contact, and communication suite that uses GMail technology with your own domain (e.g. ammediacreators.com). With this setup, you are not required to use clunky and obsolete server-side e-mail systems, rely on unprofessional e-mail addresses, or pay the heft cost associated with enterprise solutions.
Why Google Apps™?
It is simple. Save money, save time and improve security!
Outsourcing to Google lets you run your business instead of running routine IT systems.
- Google Apps™ is 1/3 the total cost of competing solutions.
- No special hardware or software is required, and Google runs the servers so you can focus on your business.
- Get better reliability than on-premises solutions, with a 99.9% uptime guarantee.
- Data can remain on Google’s infrastructure, rather than on unsecured devices.
The Google Apps™ system has two versions available for organizations. 1) The standard edition is a free version that offers 7GB of server space for up to 10 individual users. 2) The premier edition is $50 per user per year and provides 25GB of server space for each user. Along with additional space, the premier edition holds many of the same features as Microsoft Exchange Server.
