Absolutely no hidden cost  - All features upfront

All features that you get with the following plans are listed here, clear and honest.  Unlike some other providers we don't put you out on a guessing game where you are looking for answers and need a call to a sales person so that he or she can yet another shot at selling you a product that does not serve your needs.  What you see is what you get, there are no hidden costs.  Find answers to all of your questions on this single page.

Host multiple IIS websites with full control under one account.
Be aware of the hosts that advertise unlimited domain hosting but in fact restrict you to hosting only one IIS website per account and force you to host the other domains through sub folders of the main website.  With these hosts you can host unlimited domains but you must point them at the one and only IIS website you are allowed.

At ForteHosting, you can host multiple IIS websites with their own web resources as well as soon host unlimited domain pointing at either of these websites like traditional hosting companies.  You get not only a great value with us but service and support you can count on.  If you are looking for feature rich hosting and support that fast, knowledgebase, responsive and respectful then you have come to the right place.

30-Day unconditional money back guarantee
Just in case if you are not satisfied, we refund your money back, no questions asked within the first 30 days.

Cool Feature: when  you upgrade a plan for more web/database space or bandwidth, you can host more IIS websites we as well.

ASP Dot Net 2.0-3.5-4.0 and MVC Ready -- Win. 2008 IIS 7 - SQL 2008 Ready!
(We host Dedicated SQL 2005 and 2008 Servers, Not Express Editions on IIS servers)

You do not want to be with a web host who is not upfront with the features the host offers.  If you cannot find something you are looking for then contact us.  We may already have it on our servers.
