Simply put, being in business for 25 years means a company has operated for a quarter of a century. However, what matters to you is what was accomplished during that time and how it can benefit your websites and business. As with the entire online industry, any web hosting business that’s been around for a quarter century has existed since the beginning of time as far as the Internet is concerned. This means that we’ve withstood recessions. We’ve witnessed Internet giants rise and fall. We’ve seen it all and endured the hardest of times, and we still plan to be here serving you for a long time. This longstanding experience handling situations your business might face is an invaluable asset for tech support. A brand new problem for you may be something we’ve resolved hundreds or even thousands of times before.

What is web hosting?
Hosting, web hosting, or website hosting refers to having storage and processing connected to the Internet. This allows you to host files and services, such as email, applications, and websites, and access them from anywhere. These websites, files, and services can be publicly available or hosted privately with stringent security for internal business documentation.
How does the web hosting business work?
There are three primary types of web hosting: dedicated servers, VPS hosting, and shared hosting. All offer online storage capacity for files and processing power such as CPUs and RAM. This allows you to keep your websites and files online and access them at all times. The primary difference between the three is in the capacity, stability, performance, and corresponding cost.
You rent out one or more of these servers as needed and publish services on them as you see fit. Then, you point a domain to your server and can access it using your computer, phone, or similar device.
Why is 25 years in the web hosting business significant?
Like all online industries, the web hosting industry is relatively new. The first paid hosting service emerged less than 30 years ago, in 1996, and RoseHosting was the first and only web hosting company in the world to offer commercial Linux virtual servers in 2001. To put that into context, Wikipedia launched in 2001. Amazon launched AWS in 2002. WordPress was released in 2003. Facebook (2004), YouTube (2005), Reddit (2005), Twitter (2006), and Instagram (2010) all came out years later. Each of these services is now considered a household name and a giant within their respective industries, and each has had its share of ups and downs. We were here to witness and participate in all of it.
We’ve survived the .com bubble, the Y2K scare, the 2008 GFC, and COVID-19, among many other significant local and global challenges. Every time, we stayed true to our customers and ensured their websites and services were not impacted. This is one of the main reasons we still have many of those early customers with us. We’ll stay transparent and assist however we can, no matter what future challenges may arise.
We think long-term
As a family-owned and operated business that plans to stay here for a long time, we choose to never abandon our customers. You have and always will remain our main focus. This means that we actively avoid churn-and-burn tactics such as massive first-term discounts only to rip customers off in the future.
Long-term relationships have always been our modus operandi: long-term staff, long-term customers, and long-term partners. Signing up for any of our Linux hosting plans means we’ll be with you for the long haul. Your current and future success becomes our goal as well. Our level 3 tech support becomes an extension of your business, like an external IT team.
Conclusion
Having a quarter of a decade of experience in the web hosting industry comes with high expectations. Everything from enterprise-grade infrastructure and fail-proof backups to unmatched white-glove support and proactive monitoring is included. You can think of us as a safety net that ensures most issues you’ll face elsewhere never arise in the first place. That’s the power of 25 years of web hosting business experience.
