Single Hop Debuts Lifetime Price Lock
Chicago, Illinois – (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) – June 11, 2008 – Web hosting provider, Single Hop, Inc., is offering a special promotion, featuring a lifetime price lock, along with an added $200 cash back bonus for new customers switching from another dedicated server or managed host.
SingleHop, Inc. decided to extend an indefinite price-lock guarantee during the month of June, 2008.
Dan Ushman, Co-founder of SingleHop noted, ”Given rising energy costs and the proliferation of inefficient server hardware that is commonly used in the industry, it’s not much of a surprise that prices have gone up and that some providers have passed the price increases along to their clients. Our price lock is a hedge against future rising energy costs, which we can afford to do because of the investments that we’ve made in power-efficient servers. We don’t want our customers to pay for inefficiency in the data center.”
Drew Hulburt, VP of Sales for SingleHop commented, ”During the past year energy prices have skyrocketed and have hit everyone really hard, especially companies using older, cheaper, or less efficient hardware for their servers. Our efficiency reduces our electricity bill, putting us and our clients in a better situation going forward, and in the end our clients also receive the added reliability of having a less strained infrastructure.”
Mr. Ushman added, ”The bottom line is that no matter how efficient we make our servers, energy costs will continue to rise, but we have a window on this efficiency now. We’re offering a one month only price lock for those consumers who have the ability to switch and take advantage of this offer. We don’t think we’ll be able to do this again any time soon. Energy costs are impossible to predict, so it would be irresponsible for any provider, including SingleHop, to blindly offer an indefinite price-lock, which makes our June offer especially appealing.”
The June SingleHop offer includes:
1) SingleHop is offering a hedge against future price increases (a price-lock guarantee,) forever, for any customer who switches from a competitor in June, 2008.
2) $200 in Cash Back incentives to anyone who switches service from another provider to SingleHop
3) Beefed up service guarantees, including a 100% network uptime guarantee (increased from 99.9%) and a 1-hour hardware replacement guarantee (increased from 4-hours)
4) Both a 7-day money back guarantee and an iron-clad service level agreement (SLA) to insure both initial and continued satisfaction
SingleHop, Inc., is a full service managed dedicated hosting provider that was founded by Zak Boca, who along with Dan Ushman started midPhase Services, Inc., a shared web managed hosting company that services over 75,000 websites. SingleHop and midPhase maintain entirely separate support teams and operations; however, customers are able to take advantage of the combined buying power of midPhase, which results in an overall savings on top of the line hardware, and bandwidth. The cornerstone of SingleHop managed hosting is the a la Carte Server Management Program, which is a full-array of transparent management services that were designed, and tested to allow business customers to tailor their level of support to their needs or expertise. The model was tested on midPhase’s dedicated client base of over 500 servers, and it was decided to create SingleHop, a managed dedicated hosting company that would focus entirely on managed services via the la Carte Server Management Program.
