Submit the press release

San Francisco, California – March 10th, 2017 – FastComet, a San Francisco-based company that provides premium web and cloud hosting solutions hosting for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and developers, has today announced a dramatic overhaul of its shared hosting platform. The company stated a significant change to its plan structure by upgrading its shared hosting plans to offer clearer limits and plenty of room for growth.

The new hosting plans affect new shared hosting customers. Current cloud customers of FastComet will still enjoy their current shared hosting plans, as all existing plans and hosting subscriptions are automatically grandfathered to their current pricing, features, and infrastructure.

„FastComet's offerings are now suited to all phases of a business's web hosting cycle. Our new services fulfill the needs of those businesses just beginning to build a web presence as well as the needs of growing businesses demanding more out of their hosting plans. As our customers web hosting needs grow, we grow with them." The new plans are designed so that even new website owners will have a stress free and easy experience. FastComet's entry-level shared hosting plan, the StartSmart, allows customers to host one domain name with their account, while the mid-level plan, now called the ScaleRight plan, allows customers to host unlimited domain names within the same account. The newly launched SpeedUp plan offers enhanced platform, increased reliability, and extra speed. SpeedUp will exceed what was offered before in the other plans, providing, even more, server resources and fewer limitations for the clients. Faster than its two fellow plans, the new SpeedUp shared hosting solution boasts Solid State Drive (SSD) for storage and databases and set up in a redundant RAID 10 configuration for optimal speed and data security. With this setup, you will never have to worry about failed hard drives and data loss.

It also leverages 5-layers custom caching configuration including Varnish, APC, OPCode and Memcached, CDN (Content Delivery Network), a global CDN powered by an industry leader in website security, 3 x more CPU and RAM, 3 times less populated servers, that increases website speed up to 300%. „In addition, it runs on the blazingly fast LiteSpeed LSAPI PHP for optimal TTFB that Google will fall in love with."

What is impressive is the list of amazing features and included extras that come at no additional cost: SpamExperts Mail Protection, Patchman, Free GlobalSign Private SSL for life and much more.

"We've always wanted to be the final hosting decision someone had to make," said Daniel Lee, Director of Product at FastComet. "We understand the trouble it takes to research, plan for and study a web hosting provider. Our goal was always that once you choose us, there's never a need to go through that process again. Our new cloud hosting plans help us get closer to that goal."

Coming from a different host? Help is available at no cost – FastComet will make the transition from another host hassle-free with free website transfer service offered on all shared hosting plans.

"We are hoping that people who have a basic understanding and a good understanding of essential oils will come in"

On the reliability front, companies with fewer than 100 employees reported significant frustration with their hosting provider, and almost half of these respondents experienced technical issues from their hosting company in the past 12 months (on average 4.5 times per year). Among the 450 web-dependent professionals surveyed, 68 percent described the relationship with their hosting partner as a client-vendor relationship. Respondents also noted the importance of choosing the correct hosting provider for them in the current business climate. In fact, 86 percent of those surveyed reported that they felt a company's competitiveness would be impacted by this decision.

"If a website or application fuels the revenue generation of a business, the choice of a hosting provider should be a strategic one," said Liquid Web CTO Joe Oesterling. "Yet, often businesses make the mistake of choosing their provider based on price rather than ensuring they have a dependable partner. It's important not to buy into empty promises of "best support" or "most secure" without validating the performance and security of the offered hosting solutions, reviewing current customer testimonials and customer satisfaction results, and researching the skill level of the resources that will be assisting you to design, migrate and support your solution. It is definitely worth the time to make sure you are picking a partner, not a vendor."

Another trend the survey reported is the mass adoption of easy-to-use applications such as content management systems like WordPress. WordPress has enabled SMBs, designers, developers and agencies to grow their businesses; however, this has created a need for managed hosting solutions to support them throughout this growth, helping to scale the content management system accordingly.

About half of the respondents (48 percent) build websites on WordPress with 71 percent using a managed WordPress hosting solution. Of those who build websites on WordPress, 78 percent reported that they are considering using a managed WordPress service in the next 6-12 months. This included 88 percent of current managed WordPress users and 53 percent of non-managed WordPress users.

These results indicate that developers, designers, agencies and SMBs are looking for ways to find efficiencies in their work and worry less about the underlying infrastructure. Among current managed WordPress users, performance guarantees, simple installation and automatic backups are the top 3 benefits they reported experiencing with managed WordPress hosting.

"We see designers, developers, agencies and the SMBs they serve demanding simpler, more scalable hosting solutions as they become ever-more dependent on the web and cloud," said Oesterling. "We see this audience of web-reliant companies largely underserved as bigger players focus primarily on the enterprise."

When selecting a hosting provider, survey respondents noted the top five factors that are most important to them are reliability, security, performance guarantees, knowledgeable customer support representatives, and 24/7 customer support. Respondents, however, felt that they were not receiving most of these elements with almost 40 percent experiencing dissatisfaction in pricing increases and inexperienced customer support. To complicate matters further, 35 percent say their dissatisfaction is driven by a poor migration experience, ultimately preventing these businesses from switching to a better hosting provider.

"It's clear that hosting providers need to be a partner in their clients' businesses, not just a service," said Oesterling. "At Liquid Web, it's our mission to provide speed, reliability and security for our clients' websites and applications. That is their business, and we see it as part of ours, too."

Methodology The survey was conducted in the second half of 2016. The total number of participants for the study is 450, including about 40 percent web designer (182 respondents), 48 percent web developer (218 respondents), and 11 percent digital agency decision maker (50 respondents). Of those, 77 percent belonged to companies with less than 999 employees and 23 percent were from companies with more than 1,000 employees.
