Q2. How does this solution differ from every other web hosting solution on the Internet?
Answer: Significantly. We are not just a web hosting service. The real power of our solution is its content managment features that let you generate a professional site and then manage it's content, all without needing to know HTML.
Q3. Why do you charge a setup fee when so many other hosting companies offer setup for free?
Answer: We charge a setup fee because setting up a functioning, useful website for our clients takes work and attention to detail. Most hosting companies create an account for you and then step back with a "hands off" attitude. That attitude is sufficient for programmers and website designers, but not for our customers who need a site without the hassle.
Q4. Why is Verdigre's web hosting service different from everyone else's on the internet?
Answer: We're different because as soon as your account is activated you have a working web site. You may then add to and modify it as much as you'd like with no need to know anything about HTML or programming. We urge you to beware of other offers on the internet which claim to give you a website for just $10 a month, or some other too-good-to-be-true fee. You will end up with a space to place a website with no content to place in it. With Verdigre's solution you pick from a growing list of site templates and customize from there. You can also change your look and feel at any time without worrying about content you've already entered.
Q5. Wait, but this other $10 a month web hosting company says it offers site templates. Isn't that the same thing you are offering?
Answer: Not quite. We offer site templates, and so do those other hosting companies, but the templates they offer only get you started. Meaning, once you decide on your template and your site has been created, you're on your own. You'll see these called "design templates." The difference? Not only does Verdigre's solution get you up and running fast, you can also go back and modify your site with the same ease in which it was set up... all WYSIWYG. This is called "content management" and is very different from templates.
Q6. Do I own the content I place on the site?
Answer: Yes. Your content is yours. You may export your content from your site at any time you wish. You own all graphics and text that you place on your site.
Q7. How do I add content to or modify my site?
Answer: Log into the site with your username and password (supplied to you by us), choose any text, image, or other content module, and select it's "edit" option. You will be taken to a word processor like editor where you can type in and format your content. For a detailed explanation and tutorial,

Q8. Can I add new pages to my site?
Answer: Yes. Adding a page is a simple matter of choosing "Add Page" from the administration menu. You can then place this page anywhere in your site you wish. The page is automatically added to your site menus.
Q9. Can I change my site's look and feel without worrying about my content?
Answer: Yes. You can change the look and feel (or skin) or your site at any time. All of the content you placed in the site will remain in place.
Q10. Do I control all of the branding on my site?
Answer: Yes. We do not require or impose our logo or brand on your site. As far as your users are concerned, the site belongs to you with no evidience otherwise.
Q11. If my site is for a restaurant, can I place a menu on my site?
Answer: Absolutely. A menu is just more content. You can log in and change it at anytime. You may also create sections describing specials and have them automatically expire on a certain date.
