Dan Richfield of Easy CGI – Prepared for Diversity and Down Turns
Sunday, June 8th, 2008Dan Richfield of Easy CGI Hosting seems to have a good concept of what people need in a hosting provider. They need everything.
That is some people want for example Linux servers and other Windows servers. A hosting company that can provide both solutions as well as good customer support could definitely be a valuable resource for webmasters and site owners.
New technologies, such as Virtualization will help hosting companies survive the current economic downturn, says Dan Richfield, president of the Web hosting company and Microsoft partner, Easy CGI (www.easycgi.com).
“Hosting companies that survived the last downturn in 2001 – 2002 learned their lessons well. They’ve not only adopted new, more flexible hosting technologies, they’ve also streamlined their operations, standardized their services, and have learned the importance of responsive customer service.”
…
“The key is to be flexible about providing hosting plans that give customers what they need. At Easy CGI, we are driven by what our customers want, rather than trying to force them all in to one mold. That’s why we were one of the first companies to offer a full, competitive range of hosting plans for Linux as well as Windows.”
“Some of our customers want the very latest Windows Server environment, the moment it becomes available. Others are content to stay with older, more familiar technology. We give both of them what they want. Through our close ties with Microsoft, we were able to offer Windows Server 2008, a full month before it was generally released. But we continue to fully support earlier versions.”
Easy CGI seems to be positioning themselves to accommodate the needs of everyone from businesses to virtual reality start ups to bloggers and specialty sites selling a cat condo for finicky feline lovers. Ala carte options that enable people to choose their own services to meet their needs at reasonable prices seems to be a good solution, and check out that bandwidth -> 3500 GB for $7.96 /month!
