Who owns your website hosting?

Nov 01, 2023 12:01 pm

Hey there


The vast majority of small business websites are hosted by companies such as GoDaddy, or Bluehost, just to name a couple. However, what you may not know is that these companies are almost all owned by a small handful of private equity companies.


There's nothing wrong with Private Equity, except when it comes to running non-finance or fintech-related businesses. In fact, companies purchased by private equity firms are 10x more likely to go bankrupt than companies sold to other types of businesses or investors.


Private equity's job when they buy a business is to cut costs and maximize return on investment in the short term. This usually means layoffs, degraded services, and the end of investment in future infrastructure.


I love accountants, but do I want them running my servers? No.


I think private equity fund managers are some of the smartest people I've met. Does that mean they understand the investments needed to keep infrastructure up to date and secure? No, it does not.


This is why you should consider privately owned and managed secure hosting, like we offer at Hook DM. Just reply to this email and you can have access to the fastest, most secure hosting available for small business websites.


Want a better option for your website hosting? REPLY to this email!


Is it better than other hosting? Yes.

Is it more secure than other hosting? Yes.

Does it cost more than GoDaddy or WPEngine or any of the others? No!


If you were to buy the same speed of services, Free SSL, backups, and other services from another hosting provider, it would cost more.


Our systems are backed by Amazon Web Services, Cloud-based backups, and Cloudflare CDNs. All that jargon means that even though GoDaddy has 21 Millions more customers than us, our system is faster, more secure, and that you aren't just a "customer number" but a real person.


As they all switch from offshore support who doesn't care about you, to AI chat bots who don't care about you, and then their parent companies suck every dime out of them, you won't be left in the lurch.


Everyone loves to "support small business" but why not have access to big-business architecture for your website with small-town style support from people who care about you.


If it's time to make a change, just reply to this email.


We'll move your website for free.

We'll give you a free SSL (Secure Site) certificate.

Do we sell/renew/transfer domains? Yup!

DNS, lots of other acronyms? Yes!


See you soon!
