Choosing a web hosting provider can be a difficult decision. There are dozens of providers and a variety of price ranges for what appears to be the same service. It can be confusing for both the average businessperson and the tech savvy. Most consumers seem to be looking for the best value for their dollar in web hosting including configuration, bandwidth, software and most importantly support.<\/p>\n

So, how does one decide which provider to go with? A comparative study of hard drives and bandwidth is the simpler side of choosing a provider. However, what can really make or break this decision is excellent service and support. 24\/7 customer service and a host that owns, controls, and operates their own datacenter seems to be the logical choice.<\/p>\n

HostDime<\/a> rises to the occasion.<\/p>\n

As one of the leading web host providers in the nation, the company opened its very first datacenter<\/a> in 2003 and succeeded in transferring all web hosting service operations<\/a> from a prior third party datacenter facility. The year 2005 saw the launch of a second datacenter with a whopping 10,000 square feet to accommodate the growth of the company\u2019s mounting clientele.<\/p>\n

It is a feat that HostDime\u2019s Alex Font is proud of. As the Director of Client Relations, Font said that having a datacenter can be valuable for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best thing about having our own datacenter is something that I think everyone can agree on — the fact that it is ours,\u201d said Font, who has been with the company for seven years. \u201cWe provide our own in-house support<\/a> and use all of our own technologies, equipment and hardware without the need to depend on a third party [or] middle man to get things done. If there is an issue, our techs fix them as soon as possible versus us having to work around the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Font isn\u2019t the only employee that treasures the HostDime datacenter. Greg Prepetit, who serves as a support supervisor, see the usefulness in it as well and is also of the same opinion. He said that one of the benefits of having a datacenter is that the company is readily available.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the event that a server\u2019s hard drive goes bad, we can just go and swap out the drive,\u201d said Prepetit, who joined the team six years ago. \u201cWe can set up a new server at a moment\u2019s notice. We have a greater ability to provide more services to clients i.e. dedicated servers and colocation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, HostDime hosts over a million different domains which no doubt require the power of the datacenter. However, it isn\u2019t always easy. Keeping things running smoothly does pose its fair share of challenges. Nevertheless, the HostDime team delights in meeting those challenges head on. Font said that one of the things he has learned is that it pays to stay one step ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving to manage and staff your own facility can pose problems with such things as scheduling, growth, and inventory so whenever there is a chance for a possible problem to occur, you need to have a plan of action to make sure you are always one step ahead,\u201d Font said. \u201cAlso, there are physical things that sometimes cannot be planned for such as hardware issues and network issues that can impact our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOpening your own datacenter is a big investment,\u201d Prepetit adds. \u201cHowever, it shows clients that we are serious about hosting, and tells our clients that we will not be going anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s all in a day\u2019s work then?<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely,\u201d Font said. \u201cWe have the best customer service around. We have a great team [that] will do what it takes to make sure that clients \u2013 or as well call them, partners — get the services they not only expect, but deserve. We do our best to set ourselves aside from our competition by being customer centric with the services offered and tech savvy with the support that we provide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, that\u2019s something to be proud of.<\/p>\n
