Finding the best web site hosting service for your needs can be a nightmare, especially if you're an environmentally conscious site owner. There's many very cheap deals around offered by hosts - some of them fly-by-night operations, and none of them could be called earth-friendly. Very few hosting companies care about anything else past the bottom line and their shareholders definitely don't give a damn.
When Taming the Beast.net started as a commercial enterprise in late 2000, we knew we needed a stable company with a conscience, fast servers, flexible plans and awesome customer service. When we investigated our options, we examined around 20 different web site hosting services providers .... then decided on ThinkHost - that was in December 2000; and it was the best decision we could have made. I liked ThinkHost so much..I was so impressed by ThinkHost during the next two years, that I ended up joining the team in 2002 and I am currently the Business Operations Manager of the company. I just wanted to mention that so you know that this is a somewhat (very) biased review ;).
Aside from all the well-worn "hooks" that everyone in the We are also a very environmentally conscious company - all our plans are powered by solar and wind energy! Added to that, ThinkHost celebrates the arrival of each new client by having a tree planted on their behalf and plows approximately 10% of it's annual revenue value back into other community and environmental projects. It's very green web hosting :). ThinkHost has a very low staff turnover, so our team do become quite familiar with our clients and their particular ThinkHost has no desire whatsoever to become a bargain basement hosting service with zillions of accounts. We just want to have the happiest clients around and to give back to the community that supports us. By achieving that, we will continue to achieve sensible and sustainable growth without needing to acquire the levels of accounts that other hosts need to survive and/or to satisfy shareholders. Reliability in hardware and software.ThinkHost's servers are monitored around the clock to minimize the risks of downtime and spare equipment is always on stand-by should the need arise. The same automatic monitoring also keeps a constant watch on all processes running on the system to minimize the risk of any single site pulling the entire server down. The data centers are located in San Antonio, Texas, USA and in Canada. San Antonio is the ideal location for a data center due to its absence of natural disasters. It contains some of the most seismically inactive soil in the US, and is situated in an area free from hurricanes and tornadoes. The servers can run indefinitely through a power outage with UPS and diesel generator back-up.
Affordable - compare prices and features.We advise you to shop around; compare prices and web hosts - be sure to check the fine print. There's a lot of hosts who will offer you the world and not deliver and there are very few green powered hosts who can match our pricing. Have you come across those "unlimited bandwidth" offers at very cheap prices? Be very wary of these offers - in many cases if your site does begin using some serious bandwidth, i.e a lot of visitors - you'll be told to move along. Discount web hosts also have a tendency to provide very poor customer support - in order to supply hosting at ridiculously cheap rates, customer service officers are spread very thin. Whether you are running a personal web site and need FrontPage web hosting or you have a full scale ecommerce enterprise requiring the robust features of PHP and MYSQL, ThinkHost can offer a hosting solution to suit your needs. I look forward to welcoming you to ThinkHost!
