This week FindMyHost.com interviews Artyom at AYKsolutions.

AYKsolutions specializes in locating top quality data center locations across the US.  Providing superior Managed Dedicated Hosting is a large focus with AYKsolutions, altough it has everything from shared hosting to VPS.

We go behind the scene to provide you with insight as to why AYKsolutions can benefit your business.

Please tell us the year established and brief history of AYKsolutions?
AYKsolutions was established in the winter of 2004. Our first goal was to provide affordable, non-oversold, shared hosting services. After a year we naturally progressed to provide dedicated servers.

What do you offer your customers that are unique to your company?
I would like to think that we are one of the most understanding and flexible companies out there. We do not mind going out of the way to provide a service to a client that is usually not covered under our regular support plan.

What is the most challenging aspect to offering Web Hosting?
Honesty and professionalism. In the years I have been a part of the Web Hosting industry, I have witnessed many companies come and go. For the most part, their downfall was due to their inability to clearly and honestly communicate with their clients. I would like to think that AYKsolutions is the complete opposite of that. We never keep our clients in the dark and always treat them with respect. The response has been phenominal and many of the clients who signed up with us back in 2004 are still using our services.

What is it that makes AYKsolutions a competitive company in the Web Hosting market?
This goes hand in hand with the previous questions. We pride ourselves on the way we treat our customers. We are always making sure our support is up to par and that client’’s requests/issues are handled quickly and efficiently. Because of this, our client retention rate is very high and we pride ourselves on that. If a client stays with you for a long period of time, then we must be doing something right.

This week FindMyHost.com is excited to interview Brad Litwin at A2 Hosting.

At A2 Hosting, its not hard to see they are customer oriented, so we wanted to get a closer look into the company and see what sets them apart from the rest.

Please tell us the year established and brief history of A2 Hosting?
A2 Hosting evolved from Iniquinet in 2003. We found our niche offering cutting edge technology including being one of the first hosting companies to offer PHP5.

What do you offer your customers that are unique to your company?
We like to call the unique features that we offer the A2 Hosting Difference. This includes 5 star-3rd party testimonials, Guru Crew support, developer friendly hosting, host-guard server monitoring, Server Rewind and more. A complete list can be found here.

What is the most challenging aspect to offering Web Hosting?
As with any technical field, it takes a perpetual effort by us to stay current and to offer the latest in web hosting technology. Our customers have come to expect the best web development tools, and we don’t plan on disappointing them.

What is it that makes A2 Hosting a competitive company in the Web Hosting market?
We are able to offer high quality hosting, but without needlessly forcing our customers to break the bank. We are not a budget provider and webmasters will pay a bit more when selecting us, but it is definitely worth it in the end. They get top-notch Guru Crew support, the best open-source technology, a 99.9% guarantee which ensures their site will be available when needed and much, much more.

What new features have A2 Hosting added for its customers in the past year?
One of our most well received features that we have rolled out over the past year is our server rewind bacup technology (http://www.a2hosting.com/services/server-rewind-data-protection). We have also added VPS hosting including the choice of Xen or OpenVZ as virtualization platforms. Read the rest of this entry »

This year, FindMyHost had the pleasure of meeting with the team at PinnacleCart at LT Pact and HostingCon.

While most online entrepreneurs have dabbled in online shopping carts, and our staff have all worked with other variations in the past.  it’s finally nice to see a well polished and if needed hosting solution available.

This week we sat down and chatted with Craig Fox, VP of Product Development & Marketing at PinnacleCart.  We wanted to get the ins and outs of the company, its product and what’s on the horizon.

Craig, thanks for joining us.  Can you tell us the brief history of Pinnacle Cart?

Pinnacle Cart was established in 2002 with the purpose of fulfilling a void in the ecommerce marketplace for a marketing driven shopping cart application.

What do you offer your customers that are unique to your company?

Unlike most e-Commerce applications Pinnacle Cart was designed from the ground up with three goals in mind for our feature set.

- Increase organic traffic to the user website.
- Increase the order percentage of site visitors
- Increase the average transaction amount.
. Most products on the market simply take an order; our application assists clients in driving more traffic and revenue.

What is the most challenging aspect to offering E-Commerce solutions?

Working with third-party payment and shipping vendors. This market is very dynamic and as these companies respond to both compliance issues (PCI) and the needs of their customers Read the rest of this entry »
