Please tell us the year established and brief history of myhosting.com?
|

|
What do you offer your customers that are unique to your company?
|
|
Powerful custom VPS tools for building a VPS to exact requirements. Our tools provide unmatched flexibility in our market. Where most providers will force you to upgrade numerous features in steps (generally at a higher rate), our service allows you to modify individual components as need be. Our customers can individually upgrade RAM, CPU, disk space, backups to their exact needs!
|
|
|
|
What is the most challenging aspect to offering VPS Web Hosting?
|
|
One of the most challenging aspects is that customers have full control over their own container. This makes VPS difficult to support as customers really have unlimited server options available to them. myhosting.com''''''''s dedicated VPS team is well versed in handling all requests should any arise.
|
|
|
|
What is it that makes myhosting.com a competitive company in the VPS Hosting market?
|
|
While our prices are very competitive, you won’t find a Windows VPS host around that matches us in specifications and support for the latest software out of the box (including WebMatrix and Plesk 10). Our one-stop-shop vision and commitment to providing the latest features and services really keeps us ahead of the curve.
|
|
|
|
What new features have myhosting.com added for its customers in the past year?
|
|
We’ve added out-of-the-box support for Microsoft WebMatrix and Plesk 10 in terms of software. In terms of hardware, we’ve also upgraded our Windows VPS environment to make use of SAN storage. What this means for our customers is that their VPS isn''''''''t subject to hard disk access bottlenecks commonly found in hosted VPS environments!
|
|
|
|
What would you say is myhosting.com #1 asset to its customer base?
|
|
Our experience in the business has taught us that we have to stay on our toes. As such, you’ll see us constantly improving, updating and offering the latest features our clients expect all while retaining the flexibility to offer a wide variety of options to choose from for every hosting need.
|
|
|
|
Where do you see myhosting.com and the web hosting industry in three years?
|
|
Further into the Cloud is probably the answer you’ll get from any company that’s worth their salt. I think you’ll be seeing us venturing into Private Clouds and adding additional value to existing products through Cloud features and offerings. High availability, redundancy, and software at the core is where this business is headed.
