Dogbark.com >> About Us
DogBark.com, LLC provides web hosting for the creative industry, as well as anyone else brave enough to have a web presence. We focus on the needs of photographers, illustrators and designers, and everyone in-between. Our goal is one simple idea: give people fast, easy, customer centered web hosting. (OK, maybe thats actually three ideas.)
• Why Choose Us: more infoless info
The real question is "Why not?". We bring a lot of things to the table. Nice customer support, great prices, knowledge about the creative industry, quality servers and excellent connectivity. In addition to all that we do everything we can to keep you happy. Well even pay you for telling others about us.
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a web host. It's important for you to decide what's important to you. Below we've noted some things that are important to us. You'll see how these values overlap in more ways that one.
Service
When we say "service" we mean good customer service. Yes, we are providing a service of web hosting but there are countless companies doing that. We like to separate us from the pack by providing our services with excellent customer service.
Quality
We have set high standard for the way we do business. That means we use high quality hardware, high quality connectivity, and we strive to provide high quality customer service.
Price
When you're shopping for web hosting you are going to see a huge range in price. We've seen from very high prices all the way to free. Obviously we can't compete with "free" But who would want to get free hosting? We believe you get what you pay for. Our services are priced to be very competitive but not to the point of sacrificing the quality of our services. A side note about "free": We do reward you with referral credits when you tell your friends about our services. That's how you can earn your free hosting.
Speed
Fast is good. With so much of the Internet based on speed we have committed ourselves to providing you with fast hardware, fast connection, and fast service. That means that you get what you want and you get it pronto.
• Our Professional Affiliations: more infoless info
DogBark.com supports a number of professional organizations through our membership, affiliation, support and just down-right friendly help. Our support is concentrated in professional photography, illustration and graphic design organizations on nation and local levels. Organizations include DSVC, APA, ASMP, EP, IPA and GAG.
• Why We Are: more infoless info
We believe that God has given us many blessings and that we have a responsibility to use those blessings. We believe Jesus Christ died for everyone's sins so that all can live in God's grace. But don't worry ... we won't get preachy or strike judgment on anyone - that's not our style. We have customers of all faiths. We hope you experience the grace and mercy of God's love.

Where We Are
We are based in Franklin Tennessee, a quaint historic town
just south of Nashville. And no, were not famous ex-musicians (well
... not famous). Fan club information is not yet available. I wonder why.

storage and traffic. Overages in these areas are subject to our
payment terms specified at http://www.dogbark.com/services/more.php

unused, prepaid hosting services after the initial 30 days of service.
Refunds
If, for any reason, DogBark.com fails to deliver said services, a
prorated refund will be issued. No refunds will be issued if (a.) you
choose to terminate services before the end of any prepaid periods,

Opt-in Email Marketing
If you choose to engage in marketing your site and/or services via
email please heed the following. The only permitted form of email
marketing is that in which the list is "opt-in". By definition,
opt-in is where people provide you with their email address
specifically requesting to be on your email list for information
about your site and/or service. Note: The purchase of an opt-in email
list does not guarantee the legitimacy of such a list. Please contact
us before taking any steps.

Commercial Email (UCE) and Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) aka “spam”.
Spam is the act of sending unsolicited email. You will be cited with
UCE/UBE abuse if you send any email to persons who have not
specifically asked to receive email from you. The sending origin of
such email is irrelevant. If your DogBark.com-hosted site is
referenced in any way within such an email, then you will be cited
for UCE/UBE. Upon confirmation of abuse, any DogBark.com customer
engaging in this practice will have their service terminated
immediately without refund.
