THE TRUTH ABOUT WEB HOSTING
AND OUR ADVANTAGES

A majority of hosting companies are actually resellers for another hosting companies.   This means that the company does not own the equipment they host you on.  They also do not have the access necessary to the server to fix problems so they have to send your support request “up the chain” to the true hosting company to fix.

Host Waiter owns, operates, and maintains its own equipment.  We do not resell for anyone.  If there is a problem we fix it, we do not have to rely on anyone else.

Most hosting companies have been in business less then one year.  Although a new hosting company does not mean they are a bad company, it does mean that they do not have a proven track record running an Internet business.  Internet businesses are easy to setup but unfortunately for the end user; it also makes it easy for them to go out of business.

The ownership of Host Waiter has been in the web hosting business since 1997.  We have proven over the years that our business model is cost efficient to the end user yet stable enough for us to continually improve our services and hire very talented staff.

A lot of hosting companies are run by teenagers, we have seen some as young as 13.  Although a lot of people will argue that age doesn’t matter, the fact is the age does matter when you trust your business to someone who cannot legally enter into a contract.

Host Waiter’s founder and principle owner is in his late 20’s.  He holds a Bachelors Degree and a Jurist Doctor (Law) Degree.

Almost all hosting companies colocate their server hundreds or thousands of miles from their location.  If your web server never has a problem then this is fine… However, when a problem does arise, your host is at the mercy of a 3rd party to fix the problem.  This also limits the hosting companies’ ability to upgrade their servers.

Host Waiter houses all it’s servers in a Sprint E|Solutions Data Center which is located 15 minutes from our offices.  We have 24/7 access to the Data Center, which allows us to respond to problems no matter when they arise.  This also allows us to instantly upgrade our servers if we notice any performance problems.

A lot of hosting companies are owned by companies outside the United States even though they colocate their servers in the US, which gives the appearance, that they are located in the US.  Again, by itself this does not mean that the company is a bad hosting company.  But the fact is that businesses need a company that is accountable if problems do happen.  Trying to take action against a foreign corporation is difficult at best and in most cases impossible.

Host Waiter is a United States company with all its offices and employees located in the United States.  Most specifically, we are located just outside Kansas City, Missouri.

Some hosting companies host your site in their offices, retail stores, or even their homes.  Although this saves them thousands of dollars, this also means that they do not have the necessary safeguards such as battery backup, diesel generators, redundant cooling systems, fire suppression, and security to protect your business.

All sites hosted by Host Waiter are housed in a true Tier 1 Sprint E|Solutions Data Center with battery backup, multiple diesel generators, 24/7 staffed security and advanced fire suppression.  Our Data Center sits directly on Sprint’s Internet backbone for maximum uptime and faster data delivery.  The Sprint E|Solutions Data Centers have proven so reliable, Internet heavyweights such as Yahoo! and Ebay have chosen it to host their servers also.
