I recently did a blog post for our corporate website about our MODx hosting solutions. As I have said in the past, we aren’t your typical hosting company, we very easily could be though given our advanced infrastructure, but for us that’s just not where our heart is. We tend to take more of a developmental approach to hosting, this is probably because we are developers first and foremost. The fact that we don’t spend as much time promoting our hosting solutions as we do our development services could probably be viewed as an injustice to those that are familiar with our infrastructure.
When it comes to our hosting solutions, the fact is that we probably have one of the most secure infrastructures on the market, with possibly the most value added services you will find anywhere else. We also rank very high when it comes to bandwidth and our storage rates are quite comparable to those offered on a national level. We can even provide developers and small agencies that are not interested in managing their own hosting infrastructure a viable and affordable alternative with our VPS (virtual private server) solutions.
Even though we don’t typically pursue hosting clients, we will occasionally notice a segment of the landscape that we would really like to reach, one of those segments is the MODx developer community. Here’s an excerpt from the post I did on MODx hosting solutions that we provide. (you can read the entire post here…) Given the fact that we know the software relatively well, possibly better than a lot of the larger, bargain basement providers out there, we feel as if we can do a better job hosting it for our clients.
One service that we have gotten very good at over time is hosting particular software, primarily WordPress and MODx. My partner Greg and I almost work exclusively with these two products and we know the inner workings of these applications and can pretty much troubleshoot any problems that may arise with little cause for concern. Also, Matt Critcher has devoted a lot of time toward securing these applications and making sure that they run at optimal performance. In the case of wordpress, there are a lot of hosting providers out there that can provide one click wordpress installations through their control panels (us included), but with MODx, there aren’t a lot of hosting providers out there that have worked with MODx in comparison to some other CMS solutions that are out there such as Joomla or Drupal. This sort of is a good thing for us, it gives us an advantage over a vast majority of the hosting companies out there because we already have a good working knowledge of the software, and can provide straight to the point support on any issues our clients should have running the software. In fact, this site runs on MODx.
With this in mind, my partners and I are going to focus a lot of our attention toward the niche MODx managed hosting crowd that just wants to deploy their website from a developmental and management perspective and not have to be bothered with the actual hosting itself. We can provide one of the best hosting environments on the planet for MODx CMS as well as some of the most knowledgeable technical support for the software you will find. Again, we know this because we also deploy MODx solutions for our clients and manage them on a daily basis.
If you are interested in discussing your MODx hosting needs, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will be glad to provide you with a free quote for managed or dedicated hosting.
If you have a need for MODx hosting, whether it’s 1 or 300 installations, please don’t hesitate to contact us if you think we can be of any assistance. We enjoy speaking with other developers who utilize this platform.
