PortalStone provides completely secure and reliable 24x7x365 SysAdmin services and WebMaster services for Websites, Applications, Email, Servers, Networks and more. We have extensive "real world" skills (not just MCSE or CIW certificates although we do have some of those too) garnered though working with our Clients at PortalStone since 1999, and at prior companies. A good WebMaster and/or SysAdmin understands and has actual experience in (as we do) a great number of systems, applications and technologies including: Email, Security, Servers, Networks, TCP/IP, Routing, Firewalls, UNIX, Databases, Programming Languages, Content Management Systems, etc., and can communicate with people too! Our response time for critical support issues is 1 to 12 hours; and 2 to 48 hours for non-critical support issues. Our SysAdmin and WebMaster plans are based on response timelines and billing is based on an hourly, project or fixed basis. You can engage us on a fixed price per assignment basis, wherein we enter into a contract on mutually agreed upon fixed price against a set of well-defined deliverables. This fixed price depends on your requirement details. Or alternatively, you could have our specialist working for you on a full time, half time or on an hourly basis. This plan works well for you if you have more than one requirement or need continuous assistance.
