Vertexhost - 100% perfect website hosting

I should have posted this on Valentine’s Day, because it’s my love letter to Vertexhost.com.  Flippy and I have been hosting websites since 1998, and we’ve been through a lot of hosting companies, and Vertexhost has just been amazing.  In the last year and a half, we’ve had merely one “crash” which made our sites unavailable, and that happened this morning.  When I submitted a support ticket about it, I found out that an alarm had gone off at the Vertexhost office when our sites went down, and that they’d been working on fixing it ever since.  It took them about 30 minutes to rectify a pretty big problem (we’d maxed out a hard drive on our server), and now we’re up and running again.

Another thing I have to say about Vertexhost is that they’re the only hosting company I know of who made a specific effort to support pet owners, and animal rescue groups.  If you just want to host one website/blog, they offer special prices at website hosting for pet lovers, and they donate a portion of the proceeds to the Nevada SPCA.  It costs $7.95 per month, which is an excellent price when you factor in all the customer support.  If you want to transfer a site from another host, they’ll even do that for you for free to help you get started, and that will ensure that your transfer is seamless, with no down-time.  This is a great way for people with Wordpress or Blogger blogs to have their blogs hosted on their own domain names.  It’s the first step to fame, fortune, and t-shirts with MyBlog.com on them!

We really have had some terrible hosting companies in the past (email me… I’ll name them).  Vertexhost has been so great that I hope you’ll try them if you’re looking for website hosting (or even a dedicated server).  It’s incredible peace of mind to know that friendly, reliable people are making sure that your sites don’t crash!  Oh, one more thing—if you have any interest in running your own message board, they’ll give you a very powerful, very secure installation of message board software called FusionBB at a cost of $10 per month.  Again, no fussing with installations, upgrades, security issues, etc.

I apologize for the technical interruption smile
