How does pageBuzz.com compare to other webhosts?

The truth is, you can't compare us with other hosts. We offer a unique product that is far superior and much different in structure than standard website hosting.

We offer a clustered network, extremely high level of security, site traffic and availability management, full website software and building tools like no other company.

Our servers are high end enterprise level servers often costing over $100,000.00 each while our competitors offer hosting on basic low end $100.00 servers. That is not to say they charge $100, that is actually how much the server hardware costs them to purchase.

Other companies allow open access, ftp, ssh and even root access on VPS accounts. We don't offer any of that.

Not having ftp access makes it impossible to install programs and build high end websites which is a huge handicap for programmers. However, it also prevents anyone from uploading malicious programs or programs that will consume too much CPU time on the servers and knock out other websites. The trade off is security for less access.

The reality is, 99% of the people with websites don't even know what FTP is and there is even less chance that they will be writing CGI programs and compiling C code subroutines to run their website. If businesses hire programmers the cost can be in the thousands of dollars to make even simple changes making custom website programming unlikely in almost all cases.

Our product is for the 99% of the people that are not programmers, that don't need to install programs they write and don't want their website hacked on a regular basis. Lets face it, if you are paying someone to build your website, when hackers take it down, you have to pay again, not to mention the down time.

In most cases, people don't even know their website is offline for months or until they get a complaint or try to show it to a customer and realize it is not there. So having a monitored and reliable network is critical to those small accounts that do not use their website daily.

We provide that reliability and performance that other companies can't because of their shared hosting model. You just can't compare pageBuzz.com with any company that offers shared hosting.

Additionally we bring unique software to the game. Most companies will shut down websites that use excessive resources. Rather than deal with an abusive account, they just turn it off. Unfortunately, any account can become a victim of the tens of thousands of crawlers out there. With data mining at an all time high crawlers hit sites at 2000+ pages a minute extracting data. Most hosts will shut down a website if this happens.

That is like being arrested because you were mugged and robbed. It is a double whammy, you get hit from both ends and all you did was pay for a website.

Our software will monitor traffic and block the crawlers rather than shutting your website down. This software system is the result of years of work monitoring malicious traffic and working to insure that websites are not abused by outside attacks. You won't find that feature at any other hosting company and your website won't get turned off at pageBuzz because of data mining bots or abusive search engine crawlers.

It is important to understand that part of reliability is hardware and hardware is expensive, at least for the good stuff.

To trim costs, companies buy the cheapest servers available which are often nothing more than a motherboard, a hard drive and a power supply. These makeshift servers are relatively reliable, often running for months without any problems. But inevitably with all servers, there are problems and without redundancy, failure is catastrophic.

pageBuzz.com runs better hardware, enterprise level servers that have backup systems, backup hard drives and backup servers that will take over automatically in the event of a hardware failure.

Why don't other companies do the same? Simple answer, "it is just to expensive".

Customers feel like that have been ripped off when their site goes down. They paid the price that was asked, they read how great the company was and then they are down, offline for good, no answers.

But, companies must have a profit and they just can't provide what they promise for what the competing companies charge. They take chances and run on the edge with failure as common as the changing weather. But with 10,000 servers in place they blame it on size, hardware and everything else.

What does that matter to you if your business is down?

We hate charging $20.00 for something that should be $300.00, but that is the market and if we want to host websites we have to be competitive. We have done that by creating software to manage websites rather than having people do it. This lowers our cost and improves reliability. It also gives our customers a better product at the same price as other companies charge for much less.

Many people assume that for $20 a month you don't get very much. But when you look at our sitebuilder, you will quickly change your mind. If you read more about our technology and hardware you will see we stand far above any other website host in our market.

It is true we only work with small companies, don't offer lavish hosting plans and dedicated servers, but we do provide the best service, reliability and software that anyone can buy to run a small business website.

Don't try to compare pageBuzz with other hosts. It is what you do not see that makes us impressive. Unfortunately, most people find that out when it is too late.

99% of the websites offering website hosting and claiming to be website hosts are in fact just resellers that are renting managed equipment from other companies. These so called "website hosts" do not have any control over the hardware, software or functionality of the equipment or bandwidth. They are 100% dependant on other companies that may or may not be on the top of their game.

At pageBuzz.com we own, manage and run all of our own hardware and fit into that top 1% of advertised website hosts that run their own datacenters.

All aspects of our company are top notch. We are in fact one of the top level providers in spite of the fact that we run from home offices and remain a home based business.

If you judge us based on our small size and home based offices please consider that we enjoy a revenues in the millions and over a decade of experience and reliability. We say small based on staff but the truth is our client base, network, technology and accomplishments are huge.
