Remarkable Service

Here’s an example of a [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/159184021X/qid=1059924855/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/104-1434725-8199161?v=glance&s=books&n=507846]Seth Godin Purple Cow[/url]:

[url=http://www.dr2.net]DR2.net[/url], the hosting service I use, is a remarkable hosting company:

A few reasons:

  1. 1. very low cost
  2. very high level of service (On the 6 times I had a question, I never had to wait longer than half an hour for an answer except once, when there was a system-wide issue, which was resolved within 24 hours)
  3. caters to geeks, but provides tools for the non-geek
  4. extraordinarily flexible (ex. doesn’t charge an arm and a leg for every subdomain or add-on domain… in fact doesn’t charge ANYTHING)

All this, despite having about 1200 customers and 3000 websites. How can they provide such personal service? I don’t know, but they’ve been earning a reputation… they also seem to be growing as it appears that they are adding new servers very frequently.

I just upgraded my account with them and Matt, who seems to always be around to help and who I’m beginning to suspect is a cyborg, took care of a technical support question and the upgrade on a live chat very early on a Sunday morning.

NOW is a GREAT time to switch servers or park a domain with them. They have an unbelievable sale going on: for $30 for THE YEAR, you can have 150MB of storage space, 5GB transfer per month, an unusually large set of [url=http://www.dr2.net/?src=hosting]features[/url], AND a free domain name registration for the first year.

Here is a link to [url=http://www.dr2.net/vB/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3609]sale information[/url].

They don’t have an affiliate program in place, so I’m not getting a kickback for thie endorsement, but it does earn David’s Seal of Approval. (and I thank [url=http://www.crossroads.net/a]Adam[/url] for cluing me in, in the first place).

FCC's Vote against Net Nuetrality is a disservice to museums

Yesterday, the FCC voted to repeal the 2015 Open Internet Order and dismantle the order’s strong net neutrality rules (New York Times summary of what happened). You have probably read about how this might impact broadband quality for things like streaming television or even basic websites via tiered access
