Why Choose FrontLook Hosting over other low cost providers?
We realize there are many choices when it comes to hosting your FrontPage
web site. Here is a outline of some of the downsides of super-low-cost
providers and the Benefits of our Microsoft-based hosting
solutions.
The Downside of Low-cost Providers
There are many providers offering low cost FrontPage web hosting running
on Linux/Apache hosts. We talk to these customers all the time in the
support of our many FrontPage products and here is what we hear over and
over:
 | Publishing Problems - When supporting customers regarding
publishing problems, almost all publishing related problems
are hosting on a Linux or Apache servers. Problems range
from update problems to unknown errors. Often the customer has to use
FTP or control panels to upload their web site requiring them to
remember what files need to be updated. |
| Slow Load Times - To offer web sites at low prices the
low-cost hoster has to put a lot of web sites on each server and limit
the bandwidth from each web site. This allows them to control their
cost. |
| Big Bandwidth Promises - Don't be fooled by hosters offering
Giga-bytes of bandwidth each month, they have the server setup so you
can't deliver that much data! They also know that 80% of the customers
don't use but 20% of the bandwidth the sell to them. |
| FrontPage Support - We get many calls from customers
frustrated with the lack of support form their hoster regarding
FrontPage publishing issues. |
| ASP / ASP.NET / PHP Application Support - Many great free web applications are
written using Active Server Pages (ASP). Linux and Apache don't support
ASP and therefore you won't have access to these web applications. |
We may not have the cheapest hosting prices, but you get
what you pay for!
