Why should you use pageBuzz.com to host your website?

We have written countless pages, article and produced videos with reasons why you should use us, our technology and service. We have shown that we stand far about the average service. But lets look back at the last few years and compare ourselves to our competition.

If you take a look at our website updates page, you will see we have actively added program and updated existing programs on a regular basis.

You have to understand that the Internet is an evolving entity. Operating systems change, browsers change and technology changes. people look for updated layouts and the opportunity to have the same style website as their competitors.

Businesses that started with us years ago have grown, need better reports, more shopping cart features and faster tools for promotion.

To stay in business in any industry you need to update, expand and change as the market changes. Anyone that has been in business for a few years understands. Companies like IBM have evolved from typewriters and mechanical cash registers to computers and point of sale software custom tailored to fit many different businesses.

In the over a decade we have been in business the rules have changed quite frequently and our customers have evolved with us from a one time fill in the box type page building to our current drag and drop page editing. Our original site builder was based on the existing companies in 2003 that offered hosting and has evolved into a comprehensive Content Management System with advanced tools and ecommerce features that no other company can offer even today.

But as we look back at the companies we examined at in 2003 when we decided to enter the small business hosting market they have the exact same product they had in 2003. No change, no updates, no movement at all.

So people that built a website in 2004 have exactly what they started with, now dated, old and with very few features.

Or customers have been greeted with expanded shopping features, affiliate programs, marketing and sales tools, image management tools, deluxe form, layout and menu builders that were just not possible with the browser technology in 2003. Our customers sites have changed as we added new updated shopping carts, review programs, calendars, animated titles, slide show builders and web 2.0 elements. Our customers simply had to select the new options and their designs were up to date.

We are currently working on a drag and drop design feature for the websites that will allow shoppers to customize products like tshirts, mugs, key chains or any product that includes customization right in the shopping cart. While we have no delivery date for this advanced feature we continue to push the line and build new tools for our user and their end users.

We just can't say the same about our competitors. Their systems are stale, hard to use and have not changed in many years. That is handicapping the people that have spent time building websites on their servers. To get updated, they have to create their own programing, hire programmers, designers and webmasters to bring them up to date. Unfortunately, it if often too late to get back in the game. When business starts declining online, it is hard to turn that around.

Our system has evolved so much we build most of our websites now on pageBuzz.com and our original hosting service could now be a customer on our own platform. It is that powerful.

When you look at our technology, speed and uptime, you have to understand we are serious about our product. As much as we have added that people see, there is twice as much on the back end that people do not see. Security upgrades, bot blocking software, redundant failover systems to insure maximum uptime and data integrity.

If you look at any of our competitors and ask what have you done for me lately? I think you will find that that have done what they always do, take your money, provide a good service, but it is the same old service they had years ago.

I must also point out that our price has increased over the years because our market and products have changed. More technology means more cost, new equipment and more people developing software. However, we have never raised any of our existing customers fees. We do not believe that anyone should pay for something they did not ask for or may not need. While new customers have hundreds of tools that existing customers did not have in 2003, they are more than happy to pay today's price. But we have maintained all prices with existing customers, they pay today whet they did when they signed up even if that was nearly 10 years ago.

That is a big deal when you run a business to know your hosting cost will not change. Something you can depend on regardless of how much new technology we bring to the table. After all, does it matter if we add $100,000 in new hardware? Unless we bought it from you, your business does not benefit aside from having a faster more reliable website. But that does not increase your bottom line, does it?

You wont find another hosting company more actively developing tools for their customers. In fact, most don't have any type of site builder and if they do, it was likely built by an outside software vendor. So they have no control of updates or input on what the updates might be.

As long as software companies are getting paid, they have no incentive to update their products and with no choices, customers stick with what they have.

In our case, we are dealing with customers daily, we answer the phones, so we hear first hand what they need or want. Sometimes it is a simple fix or add that we can do in minutes and other times it takes weeks to make the updates. In every case, if it makes sense and is possible we try to add it to existing programs or add new programs with expanded features.

When our customers hire webmasters to update designs we work with them to provide the advanced tools they need to integrate their designs. Often adding replacement strings for template building, provisions for alternate file formats or simpler tools to allow customization of shopping carts and program driven pages.

Of course not every change we make is added to our website hosting updates board, some may be very minor or not worthy of posting as a major update. So there is much more going on than we post, and even more we never discuss. But over time we have evolved into an amazing platform with tools for top developers, programmer and most of all, for the average user with no website building experience.

Our ability to expand is extremely important when new browsers and operating systems come out and websites just don't work on them, or you find a bug in a program. These updates are normally done overnight when possible at no cost to you. Compared to using open source programming offered by many hosts that is unsupported and requires hiring outside programmers to make changes when technology changes.

Many sites just go out of business because they can't afford to keep up with technology. Our customers can sleep tight and know we are there in all cases when a problem occurs that is nobody's fault other than the changing technology.

We have expanded with a sales agents program paying nearly $150.00 for every referral, a privately labeled hosting reseller solution and tools that have drawn in hoards of customers leaving their unchanged web hosting system. Yet we still maintain personal support and the one on one help that small businesses need.

It is impossible to guess where we will be 5 or 10 years from now because we don't know how the Internet will evolve, but we will evolve with it and quite rapidly and smoothly without any interruption to our clients.

I can only guess based on 10 years of selling the same software, that our competitors may still be selling 20 year old technology and designs.

I personally can sing our high praises on our system ease of use and level of technology, but I can't think of anything more important than the fact that we are constantly changing to support your business as the Internet changes. So you never have to be worried about being behind or dated in technology.
