We offer Linux servers & Windows web hosting services. We have WordPress environments on our hosted servers as well.
There are basic steps one must follow when setting up a traditional business. First, establish a name for the company. Then find an appropriate commercial space. Finally, move in and decorate.
In concept, web hosting is quite similar. An interested registrant chooses a domain name. Then leases space on a server. And finally uploads the website of their choice. Once uploaded, anyone with an Internet connection can find their way to the site.
The server is a piece of hardware that stores data. Rented space on a server allows you to store the data associated with your website. Meanwhile, the domain name provides that address of your server. The process by which a domain name directs computers to a specific server is called delegation.
Once a web browser has reached a specific server via the domain name, the server begins to “serve” files to the browser, enabling it to display a web page. A web host manages parts of the server the same way a landlord manages a rental property.
The web host determines the features of the server. But not all servers are created equally and features can vary widely. The most basic hosting services may offer server space and nothing more. Others might offer some technical support. More advanced services will offer support for scripting, extended database storage and even email services.
Working with the reliable web hosting solutions that OAC Technology offers will improve user experience for any clients visiting your webpage. An experienced web host will be able to anticipate and correct any back-end issues before they degrade service on the front-end. The host will determine your goals and create a service plan allowing you to achieve them.

From a basic redesign to a comprehensive build, we design and build WordPress websites for Minneapolis businesses, register and manage the domain, and host the finished site on our own servers, so the people who built it are the people who keep it running. Hosting on our servers also means the site gets security patching, backups and monitoring as part of the service, instead of a login you have to remember to check.
Web work is priced per project. If you already have a site and only need it hosted, patched and backed up, that is a flat monthly rate. Call 952-548-5558 or contact us to talk through either.
