Self-Directed Hybrid Web Hosting is well suited for customers who want more of hands-on approach to their online presence. With this offering, we leverage a partner named GetFlyWheel. This platform is an intuitive web hosting environment with a highly intuitive interface which makes it easy to manage your site, collaborate with others and focus on growing your business without the need to know all the technical complexities!
This service is highly flexible, and totally under the YOUR control. Think2xIT will perform the initial migration using FlyWheel then turn the entire account over to YOU. You then have the option to either subscribe to FlyWheel as a blended service through Think2xIT or you can “assume” the subscription from FlyWheel directly. If you elect to take over the account, Think2xIT will help guide you to be fully self-directed, and when you are ready, we step aside and allow you to be fully independent. (We are of course only a phone call or email away should you need us) …
If you initiate the subscription through us, we will charge you the single site subscription yearly fee, which is determined by FlyWheel (normally at approximately $300.yr). We bill you through us using a monthly subscription service model which includes the additional support to help you maximize the FlyWheel platform. This is truly a “hybrid” approach since it is partnership between you, us and FlyWheel. We help you implement and/or migrate your site over to FlyWheel and train you on how to manage the site and control your content and workflow. This additional Think2IT support can be cancelled at any time. This blended option allows YOU to fully own the hosting experience, unlike other turn-key providers. This is a highly unique approach to web hosting the greatest flexibility and control over your website destiny.
