Ad2Roanoke understands our members’ need for an online presence. It can help to get your foot in the door or allow you to showcase the amazing work you have created. We also understand how difficult and costly it can be to get a site together on your own…which is why we have come up with a solution!
Introducing: Ad2 Hosting. This was created to help you utilize the power of the web to build your own personal website. We are not offering to build you a site (although we may have a suggestion or two…), but we are offering you an affordable way to get professional presence on the web.
How affordable? How does $3/month sound? Good, how about $2/month?
We have enough space to cover your specific needs and have priced it accordingly. Other hosting services offer unnecessary amounts of space for higher prices, but why pay for wasted space? Ad2 wants you to save that money and spend it on fun stuff!
With AD2 Hosting, you will have access to everything you need to make your site a success. All of our hosting opportunities come with cPanel hosting management, web and POP email accounts, and one click script installations from Fantastico’s* library of web applications (blogs, content management, e-commerce solutions, etc).
We are proud to offer this service openly, even if you’re not an AD2 Roanoke member…but we would really like for you to join!

While some of our events are geared towards networking, that’s not our primary role in the community. We have taken a firm stance on the need for continuing education for young professionals and students alike. Over the course of the next year alone we will be hosting speakers and industry leaders from around the country to expand our member’s and community’s horizons. From letterpress printing to designing for non-profits and back, we will make sure you are kept up to date on the latest trends and best practices of our exciting industry. Can’t wait for our next event? Head on over to the blog for some creative genius!
