Hosting Frequently Asked Questions

How long has RSH Web Services been in business?
RSH Web Services has been in business under the same ownership since 1997. We are not the largest company, but we are big enough to count on when you need us and small enough that you will get personalized attention from a dedicated team of experienced web professionals

Do you have a money back guarantee?
All RSH Web Services hosting accounts come with a 45 day money-back guarantee as standard. If you are not satisfied within the first 45 days and wish to cancel please let us know. And we would especially want to know why so we may make any necessary changes

Is website speed really important?
Just a 1 second page load delay has shown to impact your bounce rate, SEO rankings, and even your conversion rate. Our SSD hosting packages are affordable and cost effective solutions for those who want the benefits of super fast SSD drives. And are up to 20X faster than the "Standard" hosting platforms

Do I Need An SSL Certificate For My Website?
No, but you should. In July of 2018 Google Chrome started marking websites as “Not Secure” if it is not protected with an SSL certificate. It is all a part of making the Internet more secure. However it is most important if you collect data or accept payments. Also Google ranks websites with SSL certificates higher in the search results. We include free SSL with all hosting accounts

Affordable hosting for forums and online communities. Build your platform with reliable performance, security, and 24/7 support

45 Day Guarantee with all SMF hosting plans
