About

sheltermanager.com offers database hosting packages for the Animal Shelter Manager computer software solution.

How does it work? ASM itself is split into two main layers, a rich multi-platform client program, which can run inside your web browser, and a database that holds all of your information. The database can be used simultaneously by many clients.

sheltermanager.com offers you an online hosted database with a web client, allowing many clients on computers anywhere in the world to all share one database over the internet.

Freedom

sheltermanager.com is supported entirely by your hosting fees, this means that (unlike other services):

We don't force advertising on you or market to you.
We aren't reliant on sponsorship money from companies, nor do we have any obligations to anyone but you.
We absolutely do not and will never use or sell your data for any purpose.
Our only influences are the shelters who use our services, and we strive to ensure that you're happy with the service. This includes adding features, maintenance, data conversions and anything else you need.

Benefits
