Hello everyone,

I’m doing a short survey of Hosting Providers, so I can get some insight into the Hosting industry. Your participation as a web host is appreciated, the survey can be found below:

It should take no more than 5 to 10 minutes to complete.

I look forward to reading your responses and getting more insight into the industry from an array of small, medium and larger sized Hosting providers.

Thanks,
Kieran.

you would be better making the survey through https://www.surveymonkey.com/ and then you just provide link, as this will collate the replies etc.
 
These are my answers

1) How did you get into the industry / why are you in the industry?
I started by having my own websites on several shared plans, so placed them all in a reseller account and then was asked by other market traders to host their sites. I enjoy the challenges,
which vary from day to day

I started hosting on 12th December 1999

market retailer of toys since 1990, business secretarial service since 1984

5) How Large was your past companies (Delete if N/A)?

6) Where are your servers historically and currently located?
My client servers are all in the USA, have tried UK servers but they always have issues

7) Who provides your servers? Leased or Owned.
I lease them

majority of clients are in the UK

9) What is your most popular Hosting related service?
Medium Reseller plans

10) What are your plans for the future of your company?
To continue as i am at the moment as its enough for me as a 1 man band.

Plenty of market research into niche markets and finding the correct provider

I would not have needed to make a new post, if you read my ‘Mod Notice’. And you still appear to not have read it, I would appreciate you did, or I will get agsin need to repost, as readers are struggling to find the right info in the thread.
 
@Kieran, actually not only did I not see the mod notice, but your threat was producing some kind of error, it was not possible to display. Gotta be some kind of cross-bug between vBulletin and vBSEO plugin (both of which will soon be eliminated).

Please submit a support ticket here and tell me what you'd like to do, so that I can help.

best way to ask admins/mods to change anything is to use the report button on the post you want changed
