Why we don't offer "Post to Host " plans like a number of other free hosting sites do. A number of free hosting sites say they don't charge you for hosting as long as you agree to post messages to their forum every day. That sure sounds like a lot of work and and attention just to keep a site running. Actually, it's a painful chore and if you forget to do it they close your account or try to upsell you to a very expensive plan. We're disappointed that some web hosts feel that they need to offer this to get your business. We won't do it. In fact, the majority of these "post to host" sites go out of business in a matter of weeks when they fill up their hard drives with free hosting sites and get their first web hosting bandwidth bill. This bandwidth bill is a lot like a long distance telephone bill - every GB of bandwidth used costs about $2.00 and a busy server can go through $400 of bandwidth in a week. Most of the kids that put up these free "post to host" sites don't have a clue about what it takes to run a successful and sustainable business. The reality is they don't even care - the service they are providing usually starts out as a "cool" idea to brag about with their gamer friends. Dad usually ends up with the bandwidth bill a month later and makes the decision that the hobby has to stop immediately. Then the server gets pulled out of service and all of your hard work building a website and promoting it is flushed down the drain. The reality is that there is nothing in this world that is for free. Expensive equipment housed in air conditioned and secure data centers with backup electrical generators connected to reliable internet connections all cost "real" money. Everybody has to pay for it. In business - everything is a calculated risk and we've done the math and aren't promising anything more than we can honestly provide. When you deal with us you can rest assured knowing that you'll get straight talk from our crew. We've figured out exactly what we can afford to offer so that we can honestly commit fixed and reasonable bandwidth to each account. This ensures that no one compromises anyone else's website's reachability on each shared server that hosts 100's of accounts like yours. Everyone is assured equal access and fast loading of their website pages due to our stringent policies regarding bandwidth usage. We believe that the only way to build a long term business relationship with anyone is to build the relationship on trust. We're sure you'll agree and we're sure you also recognize more than ever that there is no such thing as a free ride. We consistently offer fair value in exchange for your trust. We have served our clients for years and they love us because: 1) our servers are fast, reliable and constantly updated with all software/security patches 2) we are always here to help you with support, service, billing questions - this is not a hobby - it's serious business 3) we are profitable enough to pay our bills and make a decent living - we don't drive fancy cars (we just don't make that much profit to live a glamorous life style - it's just a living - like the one you earn - a bit every day) 4) we have been in business for years and will continue to be while all the "post to host" startups continue to churn out of business on a monthly basis. Ask yourself this - are you prepared to start from scratch every few months? Do you want stability from your web host? Do you want the latest in hosting technology that will provide you and your site visitors with security, firewall protection and reliability? If you said yes to all of these then we are the logical choice because we deliver all of these professional features and more at affordable rates. In fact, most of our clients are people who have been burned a number of times by the "Post to Host" crowd and they know just how important it is to have a RELIABLE hosting partner and how we are the best value they have ever had for their hosting dollar. |
