Having a excellent host
It is quite true that you get what you pay for, however its also true that when you do your homework you can get quality for a great price. When I used to work for a guy doing websites several years ago we use a host that was quality buty pricy. After a couple years we shoped around and got the same quality for 1/3rd the price.
When I started with proxy websites I went with a host that was recommended to me. I knew quality was important as proxies are very volitile and even a day down time can deal a solid blow. I ran with them for while and they were helpful. However upon searching for a better solution I found WDservers.com aka thewird on Digital Point Forums. I was able get a server that supported more then 3 times as many users for basically the same price as I was paying at my old host. My profit went up immediately, becuase I had maxed out my old server and I didn’t realize how much I was losing.
More importantly the guy who runs WDservers is on top of his game. He has always helped me out above and beyond what I needed and fixed the couple of issues I have had, in the past year and a half, in no time flat. His service is just exceptional, and he is just a great guy too.
I got an IM today saying he had fixed my server for myspace. I didn’t know it, but Myspace made some changes and it required a server tweak to may my sites work. Point being, I didn’t even know about it. I realized that my profit had gone down all of a sudden, but I handnt been able to figure out why. It was because my sites were not working! I would have probalby not gottent he problem fixed with other hosts even if I had asked them too. My family has a site with antoher provide and I had just got off chat support with them trying to fix an issue 5 mins before thewird sent me the message that he had tweaked my server. My other host had no idea what they were talking about, and it was a WordPress related issue. You can’t get much more mainstream then that. Then I get a message from thewird that Myspace is fixed on my server and I didn’t even ask for help. Not to mention, I didn’t even know that was the reason my sites weren’t performing. Its easy to see where the quality is here. Great price, better service, hands down choice.
Edit: Of note: he told me that he is currently updating his site and prices may not be acurate.
