Best Managed  Hosting  Service  2006

  
As hosting companies look for ways to appeal to web users without reducing the monthly fees, many have offer gifts when web users purchase any hosting plan. Free holiday trips, sports match tickets, or a tech gadget have become one of the few attractive ways to lure new potential customers. Although gifts can be very tempting, users still prefer never to give priority to expenses in the present over an expense for the stability of their website.

Over the past 3 years HostPulse.com has seen many company closings and many small businesses have often chose to purchase unworthy cheap hosting service without proper support. When it's your business, it's your hard earned money and so everyone and everything has to exceed the expected. But how do you ensure your applications, systems and websites can still be commercially active in tough times?

Consider DataPipe, a hosting provider that offers managed hosting services with world class facilities in the New York Metro area, Silicon Valley and London, UK. Founded in 1996 by CEO Robb Allen and CTO Michael Parks, DataPipe provides a wide array of services within the Web hosting environment including clustering, load balancing, disaster recovery, data storage, data backup and recovery, firewall and VPN services, co-location, data security solutions, streaming media, ecommerce, e-mail, instant messaging, domain name registration and DNS.

After getting several honest feedbacks and going through dozens of reports, we have to admit the company is more than just a profitable company. The Hoboken-based company understands that when it goes into business, the company virtually puts the entire financial future at the mercy of satisfying their customers every single day.

The Best Managed Hosting Service Award 2006 will identify and honour the one company that has thrived despite the very difficult, intensively competitive hosting market worldwide, by offering application, enterprise, clustering and managed services built on reliable and scalable infrastructure while focusing on excellent technical support services to their customers and constantly creating innovative solutions to solve customer problems.

This year's winner, DataPipe, is also one of the few hosting companies that own three world class data centers, strategically located in the New York Metropolitan Area, Silicon Valley and London. The facilities are SAS-70 certified, HIPAA compliant along with SunTone and IBM Hosting Advantage certifications.

"DataPipe.com has the proper facilities with great customer service. The company is serious about information security. It is a definitely a consideration for us if we decide to switch our sites." says Terence L of HostPulse.com

Although the company has grown into profitability, DataPipe is not resting on its laurels but is actively engaged in establishing relationships with certain software and vendors to accommodate the customers' preferences and interests.

In the market of managed services, the company is required to undertake a series of complex analytical steps in order to determine the appropriate level of service and price before any project or service begins. The company is responsible for protecting information resources and constantly faces new vulnerabilities at any point of service and transition. But that has not stopped the company from complex hosting solutions. Instead, the company offers managed hosting services that are backed by industry-leading performance guarantees. Customers can choose from standard or custom SLAs that cover server and application availability, network availability and response times and resolution management.
