As a founding member of the Web hosting industry, Hosting Corporation has seen many competitors come and go. Currently, there are thousands of web hosting services listed (although at least half of these may be resellers rather than dedicated, independent operations). When Hosting Corporation was organized in 1996, there were fewer than a dozen independent companies offering web hosting. However, in our tenth year of business, we remain confident that we offer the best all-around value in web hosting, and here's why:

Our network connectivity is second to none

Hosting Corporation is dedicated to a philosophy of private data delivery. This allows us to provide congestion-free routing to over 90% of the global Internet. When you host with Hosting Corporation, not only do you receive superior performance while working on your site, you can also rest assured that all of your visitors are seeing the same great performance.

Our server equipment is custom-built and world-clas

We use only top-of-the-line servers, custom-built and extensively tested. Our hardware is chosen specifically for its reliability.

We continuously upgrade our servers as more powerful equipment becomes available. Many of our competitors have old, overloaded, and outdated machines serving their customers, or choose to operate proprietary, inflexible "corporate mentality" equipment, and when their vendor falls short, they're stuck.

Our operating system is open and freely available with source

Windows 2000/2003 Servers are used to operate some of the most stable and reliable sites on the Internet. A direct descendant of the original, Windows 2000/2003 provides a high-performance platform for web hosting. Also, because it can be installed on almost any PC, many of our resellers choose to run their own copy for quick and easy development.

We don't make you pay for what you don't need

We offer additional services separately from our standard account types, and offer a low rate for extended usage of higher disk or traffic requirements, rather than bundling in anything that most customers don't need or want.

Our accounts include e-mail services and a full development environment at no extra charge

Although our accounts are intended for use primarily with Web development, we also include e-mail services (mailboxes, forwarding, and auto responders), outbound FTP services, nightly logs and statistics, and more. The accounts may use our full development environment, which includes ASP, ASP.net, Perl, PHP, Python, ColdFusion, and much more.

We offer custom CGI and SSI support

Our accounts allows the use of custom CGI and full SSI (Server Side Includes), subject only to policy restrictions. The accounts allows the use of our System CGI as well as most SSI functions.

We charge no hidden fees

Our fee structure is straightforward, openly published, and provides an excellent balance of service and value. Bills are fully itemized and provided regularly by e-mail. An online billing system is under development and will be available soon.

Credit cards are welcome - and so are checks and swift orders

Unlike many smaller providers, we accept all major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express), and we accept payment by check, money order, or wire transfer. One of our more calcified competitors recently decided to stop accepting check payments, with very little warning to their customers! We will never do this to our customers.

Our systems are monitored and tweaked 24 hours/day, 365 days/year

Our first priority is the maintenance of our web servers and network. All systems are automatically self-monitoring as well as externally monitored, and technicians are always available to correct any problem at any time. Our server and network uptime is well in excess of 99.9%, and we will be publishing detailed information to prove this in the near future.
