Using The Planet As Your Hosting Provider

By Simon Bentley

The Planet are truely a worldwide hosting company working with more than 20,000 businesses and hosting almost 16 million websites with customers based around the globe.

It makes them the largest company anywhere on the planet that offer dedicated servers to customers. They have a huge infrastructure with over 5000 employees, being headquartered across several sites in Texas.

Now why is is always impressive to quote positive statistics, how does this help you as a potential customer, does it make a difference to the level of service you can expect?

Well, size does have the significant advantage of them being able to offer a very flexible combination of hosting infrastructure and management services.

Also, as a customer of The Planet for the last two years, I have always been impressed with the level of service I get from them. If there is ever a problem it is dealt with promptly and professionally.

You can also make changes to level of your account with the planet very easily. You don't need to worry if your business or personal circumstances change and you need to either upgrade or downsize. The Planet will always accommodate you and make any changes go smoothly.

The Planet do clearly come into their own when it comes to the level of speed and reliability they are able to provider in their servers and offer all their customers 25+ gigabits/sec of transit network capacity to 7 Tier 1 backbone networks.

The Planet also provide all this for an extremely good price. I have seen and heard from many people around that have been taken in by good advertising campaigns and been led to rent dedicated servers for very low price points. Invariably they are not good quality with bad customer service. Don't make this same mistake as it can be very costly and time consuming. - 16890
