Why do I need hosting?

August 11, 2016Why should I host with you?
You might be asking why you would host with us when you could go directly to a hosting company like GoDaddy and pay less money per month. If you’re simply looking for the best price, then hosting with us may not be right for you, but if you’re looking for the best value, then hosting with us is perfect for you.
If you are left to your own devices to pick a hosting company, you may choose the wrong server for your needs and soon, your website may be too slow for the traffic your website is generating. Or you may stop receiving emails because you’ve misconfigured something (and let’s be honest, most people do not have the technical know-how to set this up correctly). Consider another scenario: you get errors on your website, and you’re left spending an hour on a tech support phone call with a person who might as well be speaking Greek, because you have no idea how to explain the problem much less understand how to fix the problem.
This is why hosting with us is right for you. We ensure the server you host on is right for your website needs, that everything is configured correctly, and if any problems arise, we spend an hour with tech support fixing your problem. Simply put, we take the hassle out of hosting. Our clients love that they can send us an email and within an hour (in most cases) we’ve fixed the problem.
Not convinced? Here are a few other reasons to host with us.
- We personally care for every website we host. Every WordPress website is backed up weekly and updates to WordPress core files and plugins are done weekly or as needed.
- We maintain a server with a select number of clients. This means that we personally are responsible for the security of every website on our server, which helps us maintain greater control over the hosting environment. With GoDaddy, you’ll be put on a server with hundreds of other clients, and you have no idea who they are or what business they are conducting. If their website gets flagged for inappropriate content, your website could be tagged too.
- Websites on our server often deliver faster speeds. We’ve moved a number of clients over to our server who were having trouble with website speeds, and just by making that move, their website speeds increased dramatically. If you host with GoDaddy on a server with hundreds of other websites, all of you share the resources of that one server. So if there’s only so much processing power to go around and Joe Bob’s Crab Shack has a lot of visitors to their website, your website speed may slow down as a result. Each website on our server is carefully monitored for resource hogging, and appropriate measures are taken to make sure one website doesn’t negatively impact speeds of another website.
- You get excellent customer service. You can pick up the phone or email us and within an hour (in most cases), your issue or question will be resolved. You don’t need to spend long hours on tech support to fix your problem or wade through the Help section of your hosting company to answer your question. We’re here to make your life easier so you can focus on running your business, spending time with your family or just having a few quiet moments to yourself.
