We don't offer $8 a month hosting, and here's why:
Our servers are individually tweaked by our service administrator for performance. As an example, when you test the speed of our servers, they are extraordinary with scores that out-perform every server that I have ever tested. In the test web site that I use, the lower the number, the better the performance.
Here's a quick comparison:
The 60-80 scores are the types of companies that send mass spam email with offers that sound "too good to be true". The average "best" test for web servers that are supposedly tweaked for performance is in the low 30s, so each of these companies are really under-performing, as are most bulk hosting companies. Again, the lower the number, the better the performance; the higher number, the lower the performance. But that's the affordability of bulk-hosting; the servers are not built and tweaked for performance. If you don't need performance, then save yourself a few bucks and go with an economy host.
DV Technologies is performance driven. When you test our servers, we come in at under 20, generally at 18 or lower. That's better than anybody else out there. I'd like you to try the test yourself. Visit this third-party web site:
- www.hostpulse.com/app/networktools/ping.asp
To use their test, enter the host domain name, such as www.hostway.com, www.ipowerweb.com, or our server name which is www.dvtech.net. If you've already got a domain name hosted, enter your own web site address. And if you're already a DV Technologies customer, you'll love the results.
Here's a screen shot of the most recent test I used to check our performance. This test was run on Friday, October 17, 2003 at 9:14 a.m. Central Time:
