What is “Managed Hosting”?
Our websites are designed using the latest advances in security, analytics, and performance. The various API’s, plug-ins, widgets, and even the platform itself must undergo periodic upgrades in order to stay up to date with the latest and greatest advancements. Zen Marketing websites are hosted on a dedicated server. And our technical team is always monitoring the performance, load sharing, and security of our client’s sites.
Even organizations with the most expertise and resources, and the most to lose, can’t make zero downtime happen over the long term. In June 2012 Google was down for about 10 minutes. According to some very approximate calculations based on Google’s 2011 revenues spread evenly over the year, this equates to around $750,000 in lost revenue. Our managed approach insures the best stability and performance, and reduces downtime (our client sites exhibited a 97% up time in 2013).
Even our Email Hosting is Different.
There are so many (often really, really cheap) email service providers that you may wonder why we bundle email services with our web hosting packages. The answer is simple: our clients demand the very best and we cannot deliver that level of service or support by handing them off to some “big box” provider.
Recently a financial services client discovered an enormous uptick in their volume of spam. We immediately brought some a new filtering software online, and visited then, personally coaching them into some advanced ways to better utilize the tools built within their mail client. Within one week their volume of spam in just one inbox dropped from over 300 spam emails to less than 50. The employee was so pleased they called to share the information with us.
Ever see that from some sell-it-cheap operation? Didn’t think so.
