Over the years our parent company, XPaw Media International, has been involved in several different hosting web sites. With new trends in the hosting industry, we have adapted by adding new sites. Our first hosting site in 1999 sold 200 MB hosting accounts for $24.95 per month. Our prices were very competitive! We hosted the sites on our very first server farm which were Cobalt Raq’s with only 20 GB hard drives. At the time, these were the “top of the line” servers for the ease of setting up hosting accounts. Our Current servers have 750GB+ capacity! This was also a time of $1000 a month for 100gb of monthly bandwidth! My, how things have changed.
Over the years, we have upgraded and replaced servers as technology allowed. As these new growth spurts in the ISP industry happened, we had to make the choice of re-doing our hosting sites or just expand into new hosting ventures. We did the latter. When we started using cPanel/Whm hosting, we started new hosting sites that focused our advertising dollars on spreading the cPanel word and basically left the old sites to run on their own, just maintaining support for our customers.
The problem with this is organization, or lack of it. In 2006, we started combining our sites account billing and support software. This has helped our support department dramatically, yet has left some of our clients a bit confused of who was actually helping them. We have always offered our own support, without out-sourcing. This is something that we pride ourselves on in this day and age of everyone sending their support overseas.
We are now in the last phase of combining all of our hosting customers sites into one branded hosting name: www.MyPowerHost.com!
We will be adding new servers soon and migrating older accounts to the new machines slowly, providing our unmatched support the whole way. Everything should be VERY seamless to our clients.
FREE Upgrades for everyone! What this means is that our older customers will be winning the hosting lottery! Older basic hosting accounts with 200MB limits will now be upgraded to our “Personal Power Plan” with a whopping 25 Gigabytes!! Customers that were previously paying over $100 a year for their hosting now are paying our unbelievable price of $24.95 per year.
Are we losing money by doing this? Well, yes and no. We feel we are doing our clients a great service by putting their needs in front of our own. This will lead to maintaining the strong family “bond” we have with our current customers, and still allow a competitive price structure in todays ISP market.
The main reason for doing this is: SIMPLICITY.
Now our focus is on one hosting site, one group of clients to support and building our newly branded name into being one of the largest ISP on the internet!
