| Who We Trust/Use - Website and Blog Hosts |
if you want a cheap webhost, Futurequest is not for you. If you want to host many domains, there are better choices. However if you want an incredibly reliable webhost that protects its customers from all manner of bad things on the net, and is simply awesomely reliable, and don't mind paying a little more than you would elsewhere, this is THE place. It's where we are for our business critical functions, and we've been a FutureQuest customer for something like ten years.
Unique Hosting Platform:
Futurequest is different from almost any other host in that it developed and uses its own internally developed system for hosting websites. Most other hosts use an out of the box solution. This is important because the company knows its software better than anyone could know an out of the box software. The result is reliability beyond compare. While I've experienced outages, some as long as several days on other hosts, in all the time I have been with FutureQuest, I can't recall a single incident of downtime.
Diligence:
You'd think any webhost would be diligent regarding technical issues and downtime but it's not true. One reason is that the cheaper alternatives to Futurequest (we use several cheaper hosts, too) understaff, and so when there's a problem, they don't have the person power to see it and fix it as fast. In fact, that's one reason FutureQuest isn't a bargain host. It's for people who simply can't afford to be unavailable.
Also, when you share hosting, as is the case for relatively low traffic sites, you are prone to be affected by things other customers do on the same service, be it sending spam, or creating heavy loads that slow down YOUR site. FutureQuest is amazingly good at catching problems so you aren't affected by server hogs, or even sites that have been hacked.
Of course their diligence applies to you too. I can recall an instance where one of my installations on FutureQuest was hacked. I hadn't been aware of it, but they contacted me via email, disabled the site and helped me get rid of the invasion. Many hosts wouldn't have done that.
Features:
These days most webhosts offer similar feature sets. The cheaper ones promise you unlimited everything for a few dollars a month. Then, when you take advantage of unlimited everything, they dump you without notice because you cost more than you are payiing. FutureQuest is upfront with its bandwidth limits. You know where you are at. The real benefit, though, is that you are protected, once again, from others on your server that hog the services. The result is simply reliable hosting.
As with other hosts you can host your blogs, discussion boards and websites here. If and when you increase your resource usage, they'll help you determine your best options.
Conclusion:
Or first site, work911.com and its spinoff articles911.com are on Futurequest. Even though we have other hosts for our other domains we keep our relationship with Futurequest because its reliable. In the event we have a serious problem with another host, we can simply move our our site from there onto Futurequest.
Cost will vary. I believe we pay by the year, and the total fee is about $400 per annum. It's a premium service, and for any business the reliability and skill they bring to the table is easily worth the money.
