Web host GetMeHosted.com discloses record-breaking sales for Q1 2003
Kalamazoo, MI USA (April 2, 2003) - GetMeHosted.com, a rising leader in Web hosting services, announced record growth for the first quarter of 2003. The company topped all sales predictions despite its relative smaller size in a crowded and fiercely competitive market.
“Price is important, and we do compete on price,” said Public Relations Manager Dennis Johnson. “But our business is built on service and support. We don’t ever want to lose a customer because we weren’t there to help him or her with a problem. And word is getting around.”
GetMeHosted.com offers shared and reseller hosting packages; as well as domain registration services. They have successfully launched into the fully managed dedicated server arena. The Web site (found – predictably – at www.GetMeHosted.com) boasts true 24/7 support via their Live Chat feature, Community Message board, Toll-Free telephone service, and Ticket Desk Support System.
Not all Web Hosts provide around-the-clock support by hiring in-house staff or retaining an outside service, according to a private review of the industry. “It makes a difference,” says Johnson. “We are enjoying a loyal following from customers who have been burned by so-called ‘bargain’ hosts that are fast to sell, but slow to deliver. It’s one thing to offer something. It’s often totally different when it comes time to deliver. We deliver.”
While shared hosting packages are the company’s most popular products, it’s the Partner division that has been a major force in the continued growth. Partners, or “resellers,” purchase bulk web space at below wholesale prices from GetMeHosted.com, then resell individual hosting packages at retail. It’s also perfect for individuals that own several domain names and want total control to add and remove them under one large account.
"It’s exciting to watch our Partners succeed,” continues Johnson. “We help them get established by offering as much cost-free help and advice as they may require. Many are now enjoying phenomenal growth and financial success.” The company continually purchases more web servers to accommodate the exponential expansion.
The number of Web hosting service providers world-wide has grown tremendously. And it is common knowledge that a certain majority of consumers choose hosting based largely on price point, enticed by pop-up ads and unsolicited email ads claiming to offer huge chunks of web space and bandwidth for ridiculously low prices and “guaranteed” up-times. But officials at GetMeHosted.com don’t seem to mind. They don’t view these hosts as their competition. “They are the reason GetMeHosted.com was born,” said Johnson.
“After traveling from extremely discounted hosting to more “too good to be true” packages, we saw a need for an affordable alternative.”
“It may sound cliché, but our goal is to help our customers succeed,” said Barb Lange (a GetMeHosted.com Member Care Team leader). The company maintains that their competitors are creating negative advertising for themselves by offering poor products and non-existent support. “That’s why we don’t have to resort to advertising gimmicks,” Ms. Lange continued. “Our favorable word-of-mouth reputation is building, so they eventually find us.”
GetMeHosted.com has become known for its innovations and technological alliances as a prominent provider of Internet services. The company strives to hire experienced staff that have forged educational and strategic alliances to further their expertise. Dennis Johnson said, “It is challenging to keep pace with technological advances. It is rewarding to set them.”
GetMeHosted.com hosts thousands of Web sites world-wide in several languages. The company is a division of the Service All Group of Internet Industries. For more information, please visit www.getmehosted.com or give them a call at 1-269-628-4191.
