[Hidden-tech] Recommendation for Web Hosting, Etc.

[david]

Hello Beverly,

A couple of points.

GoDaddy's 99.9% uptime guarantee only means you get a very minimal credit
against your bill if they are ever down for more than an hour a month, AND you
complain about it. It doesn't mean they are always up that much, just that
they'll give you a couple bucks off (if that) if they are ever down, which CAN
happen.

We've been doing web hosting and domain registration since 1997 in the Pioneer
Valley, and have over 400 satisfied clients. We also take a personal interest
in our clients' success, something that GoDaddy cannot do because of its sheer
size and scale.

Not everyone's experience with GoDaddy's hosting is as positive as Elin's. My
sysadmin says they vastly over-pack their servers (as in, there isn't really
all that hard drive space allocated, they just rely on the 80/20 rule and
pack-em in like sardines). You can get more feedback about GoDaddy here:
http://www.webhostingreviewdirectory.com/hosts/Go-Daddy-Hosting.html

We've just upgraded to new, state-of-the-art servers and would be happy to
discuss all your hosting, web design, search engine optimization, and other
internet marketing needs at any time.

Plus, we're based in Holyoke and Chicopee, so we're about as local to you as
you can get...

Be well,

David Caputo
