Hosting Headaches?

Have you heard the saying: ‘you're only as good as the friends you keep?’ This is true for website hosting. When choosing a host, your server is only as good as the network on which it resides.

Consider Jill Hecht Maxwell’s experience, a journalist for Inc Magazine:

Martin Berda owns Berda CompuGraphix, a $300,000 T-shirt printer in Aliquippa, Pa. Last summer a Web-hosting outage downed Berda's site (www.berda.com) for nearly 24 hours, and he spent more than an hour trying to reach someone at the hosting company. "This type of 'service' is ridiculous," Berda says.

Ridiculous -- and yet familiar. Berda has changed hosts six times in the past three years. The first time, his company's site had simply outgrown the provider. But when Berda looked around, he found that the AT&Ts and Verizons of the world were charging $150 a month to host a small company's Website, while lesser-known Web hosts were asking just $30 a month. Berda opted for economy. What did he get? What he paid for, of course. "You're helpless," Berda says of his relationships with small Web hosts. "You're at their mercy."

But Webflavor cares about our customers and their hosting experience. Unreliable hosting can cost a company more than the bottom line savings they realize. Webflavor understands because we’ve been consumers like you. Low-cost hosting services are attractive. But after two years of bad experiences like hours or days of downtime, three-level support, outdated server software and restricted access, Webflavor decided to bring hosting in-house. We now have control over our servers, located at a leading facility with a 24-hour staff to solve problems on demand.
