We’ve been talking to potential clients for the last few weeks.  People who thought they had a fail safe solution in their web solution.  A long standing company, that they’d seen grow from a small organization to a very large one.  For the most part they’d felt secure in their site standing the test of time.

But then it happened.  The form letter stating they were no longer a welcome client on the server.  Their hosting was to be cut off, no site, and no way to transition their current site to a new host (due to a proprietary platform on which their current site was built).

This brought up an interesting discussion here at “The Blend”.  Part of our solution for clients was giving them the ability to run the show, first we thought that only from a content perspective.  But in the long run, we’re learning that setting them up with their own hosting is equally as important.  When you own your own hosting solution, there is no doubt that you’ll have an active site (as long as you pay the bills).  It’s the difference between renting and owning.

No matter how secure you think your web solution may be, when you leave it up to another company… it’s only as secure as that companies future.  You’re merely renting that server space.  If the company goes, then, too, goes your site.  If that company decides to refocus assets, change direction, or sell outright, your website could be a casualty.

So the Strategic Blend solution is to set you up with your own hosting.  It’s cost effective, 99.99% up time, and best of all… only you can turn it off.

Own people, the time of renting is over.

We can’t stress this enough OWN YOUR CONTENT, own your site, own your hosting…. don’t leave it up to a company that could go out of business.

If you need help setting that up.   Shoot us an email.
