3 Reasons To Cloud Host: 1) Best Price, 2) Prompt Expert Support, 3) Free 60-Day Trial
This blog highlights some of the more common reasons we hear why our clients select Cloud400 for their IBM i application hosting.
I was recently talking to Rick Belcher, IT Manager for City of Bristol, VA, one of our Cloud400 clients.
In particular, I asked what factors lead him to select Cloud400 from the other hosting providers he was evaluating.
“Several factors about Cloud400 stood out,” Rick shared.
“First, Cloud400 offered the best price. Price is not everything, but it is good to know it was competitive.
“Second, I found it was easy to get a hold of anyone on the Cloud400 team. If I picked up the phone or sent an email I would get an almost immediate response from any member of the Cloud400 team. And, with good answers. This is really different than what I experienced from so many other IT providers.
“Third, and this is what really got me, Cloud400 offers a free 60-day trial for us to test our system. The other hosting provider we spoke to did not offer anything like this. This free trial made it easy for my users. It helped me deal with my software provider who did not think IBM i cloud hosting could work.”
Actually, we hear those 3 reasons a lot. Good Price. Prompt Expert Response. Free 60-Day Trial.
When we started Cloud400, we set out to establish ourselves by offering a low-price high-quality solution. My partner and I have been in the information technology business over four decades.
So, with a sharp focus on IBM i and leveraging our technical expertise, we have been able to do just that – provide excellent IBM i application hosting that is generally 30%-70% less than other hosting companies.
Besides competitive price, my partner and I have always worked hard to distinguish ourselves with fast response, technical expertise and excellent service. It’s one thing to make the claim. It is another to deliver on the promise so your clients will rave about your capabilities. We are fortunate to have clients that will confirm our fast response, technical expertise, and excellent customer service.
When we started Cloud400 we already knew, even with all the modeling tools for assessing performance and response time, other issues were bound to come up that we could only address with testing. Plus, with decades of experience, we clearly understood prospective clients’ skepticism to a new approach like “cloud hosting” with a provider they may not know.
So we decided at the very beginning to offer a free 60-day trial so we could prove our capabilities to anyone that wanted to give us a try. There is no contract to sign. That way, they would get a clear idea how well hosting would work for them and the kind of support they would get from us.
Simply put, we believe it has to be good business for our client to be good business for us. So, if you take us up on the free 60-day trial and you are dissatisfied for any reason, you can walk away without any technical fees or hosting charges. We won’t charge you a dime. Your only cost is the effort you put in the testing.
Rick Belcher sums it up well: 1) Best Price, 2) Prompt Expert Support, and 3) Free 60-Day Trial.
