Comprehensive Cloud IT for Small Businesses

Are you starting (or spinning off) a small business and need a truly professional online presence? Webstantial can help.

We offer a simple, comprehensive package to get your small business online and looking professional. We partner with you to set things up and all the external services are in your name and billed separately to you. We will not own any of your intellectual property. You are responsible for all hosting and cloud fees separately. We take care of the expertise, set up, and if you like, maintenance.

This package covers web hosting on AWS Lightsail with Google Workspaces for email and end user productivity. We can create similar packages if you prefer Google Cloud, Azure, a hybrid solution, or integration with your existing services. In practice, Lightsail and Workspaces make the most cost-effective combination for most small to medium sized organizations.

This package includes:

• Free Initial Consulting to find your needs to ensure the best fit – whether this or some other service will be best for you. (about 30 minutes, via Google Meet or phone) Schedule your initial consultation here.
