Focus on your business--we'll focus on the server related stuff

You have enough to worry about what with running your business. Your hosting company should be transparent to you--but at the same time working busily behind the scenes to make sure your website and email is running quickly, and is immune to hackers. Your hosting company's data center should be secure with back-up power and a redundant network of servers. Server software should be upgraded on a regular basis, and data should be backed up and stored in a secure location each day. And, in case you did need to talk to someone, technical support personnel should be available 24/7. Relax--we just described netStride's managed web hosting service.

But what about those hosting companies that offer a gazillion gigabytes of space for $7.99 per month?

Six words: you get what you pay for. Can you afford to take the risk of your website crawling at a snail's pace, or worse--it being down more than it's up? Look--low prices mean that web hosting providers have to judiciously control expenses in order to make any kind of profit margin. This means cutting corners at your expense. Common cost cutting measures include packing servers to the gill with websites to the point where your website is sharing space with thousands of other websites on the same server, failing to upgrade to new versions of server sofware and failing to install crucial software patches provided by vendors whose software runs the server. The result? Your website ends up running very slowly on technology several years old, and becomes more vulnerable to being hacked. Cheap hosting companies will often surprise their clients with oddball charges that pop up here and there such as charges for extra bandwidth. A few months of these odd ball charges, and that bargain monthly price is no longer a bargain. We're not necessarily knocking the cheap guys. The cheap hosting companies are a good bargain for a personal or family website, but they're a poor choice for a business website.

Our Data Center

Our data center is powered by a nationwide OC/192 fiber network, providing exceptional performance and virtually unlimited scalability. We offer Gigabyte Fiber Optic Infrastructure on a fully managed network with redundant connections to diverse backbones for uninterrupted bandwidth. We feature 24/7 on-site security guards, and require badge/picture ID to gain access along with escort requirements for visitors. Our site is under constant video camera surveillance and is equipped with state-of-the-art security breach alarms. Two separate commercial power feeds from two separate power grids provide power to the facility, which is protected by a dual fire detection and suppression system, with a direct alarm to the local fire department. All essential equipment, including core routers and switches are fully redundant, and “hot spares” are on-site in each facility. Additionally, we are equipped with redundant stand-by generator power supplies. Each of our server racks are fed from two independent power distribution units. We are also equipped with multiple diesel generators with 72 hours of on-site fuel.

But what about those hosting companies that offer a gazillion gigabytes of space for $7.99 per month?

• Six words: You get what you pay for.
• Low prices mean that web hosting providers have to find some way to control expenses so they can make a profit. That means cutting corners.
• Because they’re constantly trying to cut costs, they might not regularly upgrade and maintain their servers… which are packed to overflowing with your (and a slew of other clients’) data.
• The result: Your site runs more slowly and less securely. It’s a hacker’s paradise and a user’s nightmare.
• Be sure to check your bill. That seemingly cheap monthly fee might not include unpredictable “services charges” for who-knows-what.
