Club Uptime

    Hello and welcome. In the last couple days, some events have transpired that have made me both curious, and nervous. Before we started doing hosting services, we would often recommend that our clients use Club Uptime as their hosting servers of choice. Club Uptime had always been a wonderful service, with response time that said "we care", and a general attitude that was wonderful. The service outage was non-existent, and network speed was insanely fast. What's not to love about Club Uptime? They really stuck to their name, and made it work. What's more, they actually had reasonable pricing. We were very comfortable using Club Uptime as a hosting service for our clients.

    When we switched over to providing hosting services ourselves, we chose to move our existing clients away from Club Uptime and place them on our dedicated servers. Personally, I can't tell you how happy I am this happened. Two days ago, out of nowhere, all the Club Uptime servers went offline. *BAM* Out of business. No warning, no backups, no nothing... Visiting their page, all you get it something to the tune of "Effective Immediately, Non-Paying Clients, Sorry and Thanks for your Money!" Wow... Really?

    We can all take a long hard look at Club Uptime, and learn a serious lesson. Over extending a business for the sake of quick money is B A D. Purchasing equipment and getting into contracts without having enough customer base is B A D. Having customers that do not pay is B A D. Throwing in the towel because you're too lazy to downgrade your service.... Well yeah, that's bad too. And that's exactly what happened to Club Uptime. Instead of remaining loyal to their customers, and keeping the promise they made contractually (Yes, that means by law), they shut their doors with their tail in between their legs, taking the easy way out. I don't care to guess how many people lost a lot of work, time, effort and money because Club Uptime couldn't maintain their level of service.

    I would like to personally assure you that at Binary Computer Solutions, that won't happen. We have no agenda other than to provide you with top notch service, at prices you can afford. We are here for the long haul, and won't disappoint you! Remember, if you can't count on your web host with your most trusted data, what do you really have left?

    Don't forget, we still have today and tomorrow for using the promotional code 'fb25' for 25% off your annual purchase. But annual purchase plans already get 2 months free, so that's 25% off 10 months! Don't miss out on this chance to save.
