Where do I start?? What hosting package best suits your needs?
Choosing the Right Package for Your Business
Whether your company is a small start-up or well-established and growing business, choosing a web hosting package is an important consideration that could have far reaching implications.

How can I make the most out of my Hosting Provider?
How the Right Hosting Provider Can Deliver a Critical Competitive Business Advantage
You’ve done your research and found a hosting provider that’s right for your business. You understand that choosing a hosting provider is a critical business decision, and perhaps more importantly, you understanding that cheap can actually be expensive if your provider doesn’t have the expertise and scalability you need over the long-term. Whether you’re looking for a Shared Hosting solution, VPS Hosting, Exchange Hosting or access to a Small Business Panel to kick start the development of your online identity, the question remains: How do I get the most out of my hosting provider?
The fact is that outsourcing certain IT functions can help you gain a competitive advantage over larger businesses that may have a fully staffed IT department. This is especially true when outsourcing is viewed as a strategic, long-term investment that can bring better overall value and result in a lean, highly efficient technology infrastructure that supports competitive advantage.
Your hosting provider will quickly become a part of your company’s family, but that doesn’t mean this provider shouldn’t continue to show true value. A high-value hosting provider will deliver a broad range of expertise (whether you need it today or some time in the future) that will help you move key business initiatives forward without a significant financial outlay in the form of technology or staff.
For instance, once you understand the features and services included in the plan you’ve selected, you should then ask your provider if there are any restrictions or limitations that could affect your business down the road. The scalability of your plan to include useful applications like shopping carts, auto-responders and blogs, which may be needed in the future, is an important consideration since not every hosting provider offers these features.
You also want your hosting provider to take a customized and personalized approach to service, rather than your business conforming to a standardized service offering or paying a high premium for a more customized approach. Interestingly enough, this can be a tall order for larger hosting companies because internal processes often discourage or even prohibit a more customized and personalized approach.
Alternatively, providers such as Robson Communications Inc. can leverage their lower cost structure to the benefit of their customers in the form of a wide range of expertise and the flexibility to customize their service offerings. These providers can often shift gears quickly in order to accommodate changes in your business needs with fewer layers between you and the experts providing the service.
The competitive business advantage of a customized and personalized hosting service goes well beyond traditional ROI calculations and underscores the clear need to ensure your service provider has the ability to scale their services to fit your immediate needs and future projected requirements.
The ability to easily communicate with your hosting provider is another important consideration. Direct communication with your provider of choice should be easily attained and simplified, rather than asking you to navigate an auto-attendant maze that leaves you frustrated and unsatisfied or sending an email inquiry to a generic address without knowing when you might hear back from someone.
Your hosting provider should work as an extension of your internal IT department by delivering customized service and the technical expertise, flexibility and accessibility you need without the costly overhead associated with internal staffing and keeping up with the pace of technology changes.
In today’s economy where profitability is directly tied to operational efficiency and there is fierce competition for market share, many business owners are turning to hosting providers to stay ahead. But before you invest in a relationship with a provider, make sure they will take the time to assess your current and future needs, while offering you a wide range of services designed to give you a competitive advantage. Investing in a long-term relationship with the right hosting provider can mean significant ROI in terms of aligning technology with business goals, minimizing risks related to downtime and controlling costs – a three-tiered advantage that should be fully explored and leveraged to the benefit of your company’s bottom line.
At Robson Communications, we take great pride in being a leading Canadian provider of award winning, next generation hosting solutions that are backed by our commitment to impeccable customer service and support. We take the time to understand your business and your needs, and we are personally available 24/7 for support, consultation and assistance.
