WebHostingBuzz is no ordinary web host and we like to get straight to the point. We're management owned and operated; our owners are involved in the day-to-day running of the business.
Bored of paragraph after paragraph of marketing text?
Good, because you won't find any here. Instead, we'll tell you just the facts about us that will hopefully allow you to make an educated decision on whether WebHostingBuzz is the right choice for you.
WebHostingBuzz was started in 2002 by Safvan Malik, the current CEO. Our grass roots were a simple reseller account of another company started by Safvan in his spare time whilst at University studying Business Management.
Fast forward 6 years and we're now a multi-national company hosting over 300,000 websites, hundreds of servers and provide hosting infrastructure to some of the most common destinations on the internet today.
However, since inception, some things remain:
We're 100% privately held. We have no share holders other than ourselves to answer to. This means we spend the money where it matters - on WebHostingBuzz.
We're debt free. No loans, no mortgages and cash flow positive. We've had plenty of acquisition offers and the answer has been a flat "NO" each time.
Current clients are very happy with our service. We invite you to check for yourself at our testimonials area and in our forum.
Choice of data center is paramount for any hosting company that wishes to continually deliver high performance and reliable hosting to their client base. We've chosen three geographically diverse facilities to house our infrastructure. Each has been selected on it's own merit after meeting our stringent requirements.
Each facility features fully redundant infrastructure; internet connectivity, power, internal and human resource (yes, what happens when the sole graveyard shift technician at lesser facilities has flu?)
All facilities are discreet, unmarked and secure. Data centers are becoming an increasingly popular target for thieves and criminals because of their often invaluable contents.
None of the facilities are in natural disaster prone areas. Too many of our competitors use data centers in hurricane-prone areas, others even use data centers in areas at great risk from earthquakes.
All facilities are of a minimum of Tier 3/n+1 redundancy specification (as specified by The Uptime Institute)
