1. Our network connectivity is second to none - Our Fiber-Optic OC12 Connections are lightning fast. OC12 connections have potential bandwidth equivalent to 400 T-1's!. But don't take our word for it, ping us and compare the speed to your current host. We normally deliver your site within 15 to 80 milliseconds and currently use only 6.5% percent of our bandwidth on average  and less than 20% during peak times.

2.  Custom built, industrial strength servers - Our Unix based servers offer superior reliability for business critical websites. We custom build our servers using Toshiba hard drives. They are built specifically for a 24 x 7 web hosting environment and include dual power supplies and hot-swappable hard drives. We continually upgrade our equipment as more powerful options become available. Many competitors have old, overloaded, and outdated machines with no contingency plans in case of hardware failure.

3. You get a true Virtual Server, not a Virtually Hosted site - You get a full-blown virtual server no matter which account package you choose. This means you have your own dedicated IP address and all the domain and email features required by serious websites. See our article on Virtual Servers vs. Virtual Hosting for more details.

4.  Fully loaded with valuable  features - Each Virtual Server comes jam-packed with all the features that others charge extra for, such as Secure Encryption, Shopping Carts, Web Interface, Mailing Lists, Web-Based Email, Password Protected Directories, Graphical Stats, free Site Creation Tool, Counters, Clocks, Form Scripts, etc.

5. Experience - We have been providing hosting services since 1996. The current desertWEB Virtual Server represents a true "next generation" solution for businesses and developers. You can skip the "trial and error" part of learning due to our advanced web interface and proven systems. This is not the case when you use a host who is just "getting into the game" now (such as some of the computer and phone companies that now offer hosting). 

6. Affordability - We offer true flat rate pricing and don't hit you with add-on charges for basic features like many other hosts do. Everything you need to do business online is packed into our Virtual Servers -- including E-Commerce features such as SSL Encryption and a Shopping Cart! Others charge as much as $200 per month or more for comparable Virtual Servers.

7. Secure Online Ordering - The desertWEB Virtual Server comes with a built-in Secure Server which you can access at no additional charge. You can now handle hundreds of orders simultaneously from your website.

8. Security of your Business Information - The Internet can be a playground for hackers. That's the main reason you don't want your sensitive office computers connected full time to the Internet. The desertWEB Virtual Server gives you the extra security of knowing your most important information is protected, because your office computers are safely away from your website. In addition, our systems run special protection software and have better defenses and monitoring to ward off hacking. This is why even some very large companies outsource their web hosting to us.

9. Development and Programming Help - It's a very rare Webmaster that possesses all the abilities needed to develop complex sites. You can tap our expertise if you need assistance with custom programming, e-Commerce issues, or high-end graphics. 

10. Online Billing and Account Management - With this exclusive feature you can see all your account information, including diskspace and bandwidth usage, billing information, and you have the ability to update and edit any of your personal information.

11. Generous Bandwidth allowances - We offer generous bandwidth limits that are normally double that of other hosts. We want your site to be successful and don't like to penalize you with extra data transfer charges as other hosts do.

12. Full development environment - Our accounts feature your own cgi-bin for script development. We have no restrictions on types of scripts and encourage you to use your own custom scripts. We support PHP, MySQL, Java Servlets, and include a slew of Apache and Perl modules for the serious developer.

13. Custom CGI and SSI support -  Our Small Business and larger accounts allow the use of custom CGI and full SSI (Server Side Includes). All accounts feature the use of our system CGI that is pre-loaded with basic scripts. 

14. Support for International Customers - We can host sites with any domain extension and our connectivity features outstanding routes for international accounts. Most times, sites hosted on our servers will come up quicker than sites hosted in your own country.

15. Full email services - Since we use true virtual servers, you received full Domain Name email services, including POP, SMTP, and Web-Based Email. Setting up additional mailboxes can be done in seconds by the client.

16. Always improving based on your feedback - We do frequent client surveys and develop new features based on what our customers tell us. We just recently released our Web-Based email and automatic email authentication feature based on client feedback. 

17. You pay only for what you need - We offer competitive pricing that includes many features others charge extra for. Also, we don't sell you more than what you need as a marketing gimmick. For example, some hosts will offer 350MB of space with their starter package knowing full well that the client won't use anywhere near that. They do it to inflate the perceived value of the package. We don't play those games and strive to match your needs as closely as possible.

18. Pre-payment discounts. We offer a free month when you pay annually for your account and there are no minimum contracts. 

19. Your Satisfaction Is Guaranteed... If you're not 100% satisfied with your Virtual Server just tell us within 30 days of your purchase and you'll receive a 100% refund, no questions asked!

Web Hosting is not a commodity! It's the foundation of your eBusiness and the "partner" you select to host your site is very important. Feel free to call or arrange to visit our offices if we can assist you further.
