Secrets of the Web Hosting Industry

Not DIY Hosting "Cool Daddy", "College Guy" and "Tim Plate" might be making a lot of money but they have some secrets about their business. And their marketing departments will do just about anything to keep you from finding out.

  • Minimal Support Experience
    Big companies hire the minimal support for the least pay.  It's the age of Walmart and downsizing.  Outsourced support to companies outside of the USA is now common.  AthensGuy.com is small.  And that's our strength.  The owners of the company, Patrick and Cynthia, are working directly for you.  No one has the passion for success like the owners of the company. 

  • Hide & Seek
    Most web design and web hosting companies hide who they are.  Doesn't that make it easier to avoid you?  Next time you're on another website see if you can discover who's running the show, where they're from, and what's their experience.  Here's a hint about AthensGuy.com.

  • 99.999% Uptime Claims
    Most web hosting companies claim 99.999% uptime. But that means their services are down for less than 5 minutes every year. Who do they think they're fooling?

    But wait, they don't include maintenance downtime anyway.  Will your web visitors care why your website is down?  Of course not.  They'll just go somewhere else.  We don't play that game.

  • Non-traceable Testimonials
    Many companies display non-traceable or anonymous testimonials.  You can trace every single one of our testimonials back to a real person you can contact from their contact information from their own website.

  • Who Are Their Customers?
    Few companies publicly list their client list.  Maybe they don't want other companies stealing their customers.  Maybe they don't want you to know what other websites are on the same server.  We are proud of the websites we design and host and of the relationships we maintain with our customers.  Our extended portfolio proves it.

  • Build It Yourself
    Many web hosting companies offer low priced introductory services to point and click your way to a new website.  These interfaces are cumbersome and not capable of custom designs.  Also, business owners seldom have time to polish their website and keep it up to date.  AthensGuy.com provides very competive custom web design and update services.  It doesn't get easier than a telephone call.

  • #1 Position in Search Engines Guarantee
    If you hear or see that claim, run - away with your wallet!  There is science behind Search Engine placement but it's not simple.  There are many complex factors involved in getting high search engine placement.  The major search engines, Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask.com, etc all have different rules.  Using quick and easy tricks, called Black Hat SEO techniques, to get a top position for competitive search phrases can get your website banned from the search engines.  Most SEO experts won't tell you that.  Another common gimmick is to sell you top positions to phrases that aren't even searched for on the Internet.  That's the equivalent of placing a billboard on a road no one ever drives down.  We would love to answer your questions about how to grow your Internet presence in a mature and legal way.

    It's Easy to Lead When Your Alone


  • Domain Ownership
    There are many web hosting companies who will register a domain for you and then hold the domain hostage.  They then demand you host with them forever and yank the domain out from under you when you try to switch hosts.  We would never participate in any such unethical behavior.  If circumstances lead you to another hosting company, we'll cooperate with your best interest in mind.
