Web Hosting
Web hosting is an industry where you get what you pay for, every time, with no exceptions. You wouldn't open your company shopfront next door to a crack-den, however, when it comes to web hosting many people decide to do the virtual equivalent.
There is no shortage of hosting companies that advertise "unlimited" hosting resources, often for less than $10 a month. The problem is, these shared hosting accounts are often heavily oversold–usually with hundreds other websites hosted on the same machine. It only takes one or two other users of the server to run a problematic script and bring the entire server to a halt–meaning downtime for your website. The cheaper the web host, the less likely they are to be able to stay on top of monitoring scenarios like this. Not to mention when you do need support, more often than not, you will find yourself playing email tennis with someone who takes hours or days to get back to you. If you are really lucky, you might even get a phone number to call that will connect you to a call center in India.
This may all sound cynical, but after building websites for more than a decade, we have seen it all. Cheap hosting may be fine if you are a web hobbyist and you can deal with the problems, but when it comes to your business or organization, you need to work with a quality web host and it doesn't need to cost a fortune.
Starting in 2012 we are pleased to offer web hosting services to our clients on our dedicated server at Liquidweb. Hawkins Multimedia have been using Liquidweb/Storm on Demand as our host of choice for more than five years and it is the only hosting company we recommend to clients. They offer incredibly reliable hosting, and they have the best level of support we have ever come across in the industry, including 24/7/365 phone support, where you speak to a US based technician who can work on your problem while you are on the line. Our hosting setup is optimized for the ExpressionEngine websites that we specialize in producing. We also offer a free offsite backup solution to all our clients for extra piece of mind. And in the unlikely event of a problem with your website, we take care of dealing with support on your behalf–at no additional cost.
Contact us today and let us help you with your hosting needs.
