wahts the difference? just wondering?

Solid business plan and little extras with technical support?

I honestly couldn't tell you without comparing to specific hosts. There's really no such thing as a "standard" host to compare from, everyone here has goals for there business and lifestyle and some manage to achieve it though years of hard work and dedication to their clients - just like any business.

:D

Our techs FLY to your house and walk you through and design your entire website!

Oh and if you can't connect to our site, we will call up Aol and harass them till they fix their busy signals too. ;)

simple

the ruder we are the more they like it

I don't think I'd want to be one of your customers.. :laugh:

Lol reminds me of goin to Ed DeBevicks downtown chicago...

They are rude (but thats their thing), if your too sensitive just don't go in, they will tell you...

God forbid a overweight person walks in and they call Close the buffet over mic (and they don't have a buffet). :D ;)

haha ed debevics rules I love that place.

Well,
We do not advertise or market on WHT forum? I'm sure that is kind of unique :)

Sounds like Dick's Last Resort in Dallas.

As far as what sets us apart from other hosting companies...well, there is my status as the best looking webhost in the world. Oh yeah, I'm modest, too.:)

GM Steakhouse in Austin, Texas used to have the same schtick. I was dining there one night when a guy came in and ordered a hamburger. He didn't know the routine. They started giving him a hard time about how they had just cleaned the grill. There might have even been some profanity. He got upset and said "F*** you" and stormed out.

Some hosts don't want to open up their site to the community and suffer the consequences thereof. :D :stickout

Seriously, it swings both ways for hosts. If a host decides to be anonymous here, they aren't accountable to the community. But they miss out on any business that might pass their way. Then again if their client base is from outside of WHT, when they have problems, not many folks hear about it.

There's no right and wrong here. I :laugh: when I see hosts standing on the high moral ground proclaiming proudly that they're anonymous and don't "mine" WHT. It just might be that they're afraid to release their business to the broader hosting community. Probably not, but still therein lies a possibility worth considering... :D

the $3 a month web hosting talk community does not appeal to me or to anybody with any business sense :)

I want $20 clients, who wants to pay $20 for

50 megs of diskspace
1 gig of transfer
1 mail account

as far as being rude, we now even have an insult of the day for the nightmares and a fake link they can click at

we are not the best looking just the nassiest game in town.

any wonder why most of our clients a very wealthy 40 something biz execs that like a tie up and thrash

True, so true. I get almost no new business from WHT - even though I've been hanging out and posting here for 1.5 years or so. Why? Because we don't give away our services at rediculous prices. You won't get anything from us for $3. The cheapest we offer is $5, and its a _small_ plan.

I know for a fact that I cannot offer good service if all my customers payed me less than $5 per month. Perhaps if I only have a hundred or so, but once you started getting more and more, you have to hire someone to help.

Who am I going to hire to do systems admin work for minimum wage? Would you want to have your web site run by someone who works for so little - and probably knows even less? No.

I won't do that to my customers, and I won't have myself associated with a business that runs that way.

Maybe that is what makes us "different" in the web hosting industry. Not to say that other hosts don't operate the same way, but I definitely don't think its the majority.

Take care,

Brian

No, I am the best looking! My wife and my momma told me so! And they can't be wrong....they told me that, too!:)

PS Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. (I always wanted to say that.)

I still don't believe you, Lamar. :)

Prove it. Post your pic.

What separates us? This would be our unique approach with the presentation of our site. We're a community built around a service more than a hosting provider. I am not aware of any host that uses this concept. Therefore, we are separated from the noisy pack of "me too" hosts. :)

I think the only way to compete is to be a niche player - service the heck out of your local market, provide some value-added service to a particular user group (eg, gamers, etc.)
