Selecting where you host your web site is
just as important as selecting a developer!
Is your web site available
24 hours a day 7 days a week?

| Services & Customer Service |
| How easy is it to add services to your web site? Need a blog? Starting a forum? Ready to start a newsletter? Be sure you use a hosting company that listens to what you want and quickly takes action to get it done. The hosting company must consider YOUR SUCCESS as part of their success. If they don't, then you might consider switching to a better hosting service. |
|
| Notice: There are numerous web development and hosting companies that are closing their business without notifying customers and leaving them without ANY service. |
| Around 2002, there was what appeared to be a web development and hosting company "big enough" to manage the Internet needs of many in a small town of about 25,000 in Iowa. The city, county and quite a few businesses used their service. Apparently, no one noticed the business had been sold three times in three years ...a clear warning sign of instability. |
|
| One Monday morning, the customers went to their respective jobs and were surprised that the city, county and business web sites were not online. People waited all morning but their web sites never came back online. |
|
| People were surprised that the business number came up as "no longer in service". When they went to the business address, they were shocked that the building was completely empty. No people, office furniture or IT equipment. |
|
| The hosting company moved out over the weekend and didn't notify anyone. None of the city, county and business recovered their data from the hosting company. It took months to get everyone back online and "doing business" again. |
|
| Take time to check out the hosting and development company you want to do business with. Always keep a backup of your web site and data. |
|
| The first rule in business is "In God we trust...all others cash!" Don't let this incident happen to you. The size of the company isn't the most important factor ...financial stability is. |

- Can I get a copy of the backup of my web site?
