First impressions are lasting impressions, so an under-performing server or provider’s network can have a degrading or even devastating effect on operations.

Whatever hard dollar savings you realized short term by going with a budget provider could be lost to soft dollar issues like abandoned shopping carts, prolonged or frequent down-times, lack of competent, professional support or straight up customer churn.

How much does it cost you to run your business in terms of dollars per hour? If you had to allocate a few hours per month to resolve hosting issues, could you conceivably be spending more money per month than if you had just gone with a higher priced hosting solution without the backend headaches?
