The world of web and application hosting is a busy market with many options and big hosting companies.
But in an over-crowded marketplace, the best choice you can make for your business is to host your
website with a reputable company that understands your business and that can provide quick, personalized
service. After all, if your website is unavailable, you’re losing out on one of the main channels that your
customers can interact with your business, and you’re likely losing sales as a result.
Large Data Centers, Small Attention to Customers
Many large hosting companies have something really good going for them: their size. They’ve amassed a
large customer base and they house thousands of servers in data centers around the world. One problem
is that while many large hosting companies have been busy building huge warehouses filled with great
equipment, they’ve forgotten to increase and improve their customer support. Web hosting customer
support is critical – what good is a web host if you can’t get support when you need it?
Also, a large web hosting company will likely not understand your specific business needs. Larger hosting
companies excel at setting up dozens of sites a day for customers with whom they’ve never spoken. Each
and every business is unique – what works for one business may not work for another. Clearly,
a one-size-fits-all approach is a flawed approach.
Leave The Geekery To The Experts
When it comes to choosing a hosting plan, there are typically many decisions that need to be made:
What platform should I select – Windows or Linux? How much bandwidth do I need? What about memory
and hard drive storage?
Many small business owners don’t have time to think about those options. Often, your primary concern
is finding a good, reliable environment to host your website. You need someone to take care of the
tech so you can focus on running your business.
Support Local Businesses
We firmly believe in supporting local businesses. Many giant hosting companies that are located in Silicon
Valley have no direct connection to the economy here in Virginia. We support local businesses, and we
encourage Virginia-based businesses to host their website and applications with a company that’s deeply
rooted in Virginia as well.
After previously referring our partners to larger hosting companies in the past, we found that many of our
clients were becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of customer support and limited options. So
we decided it was time for us to step in and provide a better hosting solution. If you’re interested in finding
out more about our custom-tailored hosting options, please contact us for more information.
