Alliances
Trusted Partners • Complimentary Service Providers • Alternative Service Provider
They’ve helped us before, and we’re confident they can help you too!
Alliance: a union or association formed for mutual benefit, esp. between organizations.
Friends, we’ve made some professional alliances with some talented organizations. And like the above definition suggests, these alliances were created not only for our mutual benefit, but for yours as well.
At eXcelisys, we specialize in custom development and business process consulting. But when it comes to stuff that would take us off of our core competencies, we’re smart enough to enlist the help of our brilliant allies.
If you want to consider other technologies for your custom solution, or you want a place to park your current Web or WAN database application, we have partners that can help meet your needs. Rest assured, they’ve been put through the eXcelisys wringer; they’ve been subject to our interrogations and our due diligence testing methods. In other words, they’ve passed the eXcelisys test.

Amazon Web Services offers cloud web hosting solutions that provide businesses, non-profits, and governmental organizations with low-cost ways to deliver their websites and web applications. Whether you’re looking for a marketing, rich-media, or ecommerce website, AWS offers a wide-range of website hosting options, and they will help you select the one that is right for you.
Simple websites typically consist of a single web server which runs either a Content Management System (CMS), such as WordPress, an eCommerce application, such as Magento, or a development stack, like LAMP. The software makes it easy to build, update, manage, and serve the content of your website.
Simple websites are best for low to medium trafficked sites with multiple authors and more frequent content changes, such as marketing websites, content websites or blogs. They provide a simple starting point for website which might grow in the future. While typically low cost, these sites require IT administration of the web server and are not built to be highly available or scalable beyond a few servers.
Best for:
- Websites built on common applications like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento
- Websites built on popular development stacks like LAMP, LEMP, MEAN, Node.Js
- Websites that are unlikely to scale beyond 5 servers
- Customers who want to manage their own web server and resources
- Customers who want one console to manage their web server, DNS, and networking
