Recently several of the budget market hosting providers have been in a bidding war to offer the most disk space and data transfer for under $10/month.
One of my “colleagues,” if you will, in the industry spoke out about his Company’s decision.
Our customers are clearly capable of differentiating Network Redux from the budget warfare taking place in the shared/budget hosting community.
The comments from that above referenced link, indicate to me that the bidding war between budget providers has become one of who can oversell their resources at the quickest rate, rather than who can differentiate themselves in the market from their competition.
We are differentiating ourselves by providing services the budget/shared markets are not able to comprehend. An enormous volume of our business is behind the scenes, managing complex Xen environments, client web and sql clusters, load balancing solutions, just to name a few of our core competencies.
Know how much a server and data transfer costs, as well as the costs associated with power and cage space. Realistically there aren’t many shared/budget providers that own and/or operate their own infrastructure. Herein is the difference between Network Redux and these budget level providers.
I can officially say that we are not competing in this budget/shared market to the current dishonest degree others are pursuing. We are offering a level service with realistic price points which we can honestly maintain. This doesn’t mean that expansion is out of the question, in terms of the commodity items: disk and transfer — drives grow, SAN’s reduce in price, data transfer prices reduce, all of which will allow for the gradual and eventual increases in our services.
A self sustaining business is one that very few can frown upon. The common trend for the budget/shared market is the constant need for continued business and promotion driven sales. Attrition rates for companies of this nature do not allow for an organically evolving organization.
The business I run is quite different. Organic growth with a customer centric focus, allowing our customers to grow their businesses within our business is how we elevate our revenue growth and consistently maintain low attrition numbers.
The next step in our operations will be to fully differentiate our service offerings via our public website. More to come on that.
