What Makes Us the Saints of Hosting™?

August 8, 2023November 23, 2022 by Jeff Wilson

We have been asked before, many a time actually, how we manage to keep such a high standard of hosting and costly premium equipment yet not charge an arm and a leg. How do we remain profitable, and why do several competitors charge a lot more for a lot less?

First and foremost, we have been in the hosting industry for over two decades. We understand what it takes to make our customers truly happy. We simply don’t give anyone a reason to leave us, which means less churn, less nedless work and less overhead. We then pass on that saving to our customers, making them want to stick around even more. It’s a positive feedback loop philosophy whereby we eliminate the unnecessary and treat our customers exactly like we would want to be treated by our suppliers. It’s pretty simple, really.
