Just wanted to express my 100% satisfaction with respect to your hosting and design service. In the months since my enrollment I have never had any glitch that has not been a result of my own novice doing. It is also easy to learn and correct self-errors. There are no pop-ups, gifs or blinding banners that annoy me to drink; my web site loads perfectly and is never "down for maintenance;" email can be read and composed on almost any system every time without incident.

I've been with the MediaVue hosting solution for 26 months now and I've have a complete 'peace of mind' not having to worry about their service or performance. When I did have a 'stupid user' problem, their help desk was very responsive and understanding in solving my problem. The ease in setting up my page/transfers couldn't be easier to manage. I'm completely satisfied with their service and especially you’re up time and pricing.

I just wanted to express my appreciation and tell you about my experience to this moment. First you’re Web site and its instructions are great - where I had some trouble understanding - your tech support was super. My problems are resolved, as the manufacturer, designer, tech support and host of your own shopping cart solution ever time ever bit of help that I need seems to be faster and easier to resolve. Best of all is your service from you and the others I have spoken to. After 2 years of struggle and grief, I am so happy to have come to know you, and have you as my host. I can now rest a lot easier now.

I would like to just thank you for your level of professionalism in regards to web hosting and pricing. Your company is by far the best I've dealt with in my 6 years of web designing. Please pass the praise to the phone techs that responded quickly to my needs. I will be referring more accounts your way from hereon.

I have hosted a number of sites with other hosting companies and have found MediaVue to be the easiest, friendliest, and most competent hosting site yet. As a matter of fact I have more than 8 sites with MediaVue and am looking no further for hosting sites. A live person always answers the phone whenever I call and I feel I have come to know several of these people on a first name basis. This is extremely rare in my experience in dealing with web based business, and it is worth its weight in gold

Anthony Bonito

MediaVue is one of the best, the support team is very knowledgeable and always helpful. I think they are wonderful.

After having a bad experience with another Web hosting company, I signed up with MediaVue. My Web site is not a business, and I am no Webmaster. This site is purely a hobby and an opportunity for me to expand my horizons.

The staff at MediaVue has been extremely helpful anytime I have called. The staff is more accessible than most and I have always been treated with nothing but courtesy and respect. My previous Web hosting company really didn't want to offer much help since I am not a professional programmer or designer. My hat is off to you guys, thanks for being a great help to me!

www.marlinnbandb.com

I just wanted to thank you for your great services, you guys are there when there is a problem and I know you and your staff is putting a lot of energy to keep the clients happy. I will continue referring my clients to you, because I think it's important for my clients to feel good about their hosting company.

The folks at MediaVue are the best! They take the time to help you and listen to your questions. It is such a relief to find such excellent support on line - and at such great prices! Keep up the good work!

Your tech support person named Brian is very helpful and polite. He has been very helpful with my first Web site experience. I'm sure I will continue to grow with your company as long as people like that continue to work with your company.

I've been most impressed with their technical support. No doubt most of MediaVue clients are companies or professionals, however, I simply use their hosting services for a very basic business Web page. The fact that they are willing to spend the time to help me with my technical questions demonstrates their commitment to providing quality service to customers of every skill level. Thank you.

www.bbqcookingschool.com

I have been delighted with MediaVue as my Web host. Unlike the two I used previously, I can count on no hassles when I update my site or access it. Being able to use Microsoft FrontPage as an editor is fantastic for beginners. Few Web hosts are equipped or skillful enough to offer FrontPage extensions. One owner told me "it creates problems for me." Funny, MediaVue has no problems with it.

www.mchurchpr.com

MediaVue has provided me with all the features I need at a very reasonable price. Their support team has been very helpful and their service has given me the confidence I need to promote my e-business.

www.minkandmink.com

I've learned so much from all of you and I know that I wouldn't have been able to create a successful site without your help. Other companies need to learn from MediaVue professionalism and enthusiasm to help their clients' business online. You're customer service and knowledge exceeds all expectations with genuine commitment to high standards of performance.

Ecommerce Hosting Servers Review

When it comes to choosing a server to boost e-business efficiency, technology buyers have no shortage of options. Sometimes, even analysts cannot agree on which machines are best for e commerce businesses that want to rev up the pace at which they conduct business. Because of intense competition in the e-business server marketplace, the best server technologies may change rapidly as innovations are introduced at a steady pace.

Of course, that actually may be good news for some enterprise buyers. The same level of competition that constantly pushes the bar higher also means the prices of yesterday's top technologies keep falling. As a result, the e-business server marketplace is stocked with high-performance choices at reasonable costs.

It's a buyer's market. Vendors are bringing more powerful products to market and at the same time offering lower-price options.

Even amid all of this upheaval, however, analysts can point to star products in certain categories, servers that might give their purchaser a slight competitive edge. What are these standout machines, and what makes them so good?

For starters, Dell's Power Edge server gets high marks as an e-business tool. It can accommodate up to four Intel Xeon processors, and analysts say it is among the easiest servers to introduce into an existing network. This is vital, since most enterprises are not starting from scratch with an entirely new network when considering a server purchase. Also, the Power Edge can be expanded with ease, rather than replaced, if additional capabilities are needed in the future.

One analyst said it was the best-performing of all four-way Intel-based servers when it hit the market last year. In addition, although all servers aimed at the e-business market have excellent track records when it comes to limiting downtime, Dell's products perform particularly well in this area.

The lowest-end Power Edge server retails for about US$6,000, but the price jumps to a base rate of about $30,000 if all four Xeon processors are installed.

Getting Noticed

Overall, in fact, Dell has made gains in the enterprise space in recent years -- and the company clearly has designs on winning more market share.

We've been getting noticed more in that space, by the people who follow it and the technology buyers, enterprise customers are turning to Dell with increasing confidence.

Meanwhile, recent market gains by HP may serve as evidence that its line of servers also is gaining traction.

One such offering is the HP G3 ProLiant line of servers designed for large workgroups. This is the third generation of the ProLiant family and shows improvement from previous generations in several areas, according to analysts. The server hit the market last year at a base price of about $9,000.

In the Middle
At the top of the e-business server pyramid, IBM sold more servers than any other company in 2002. But analysts say e-businesses that want to remain nimble may find that IBM's best value lies in the middleware or application server arena.
IBM offers a complete software infrastructure. Most companies have compiled a heterogeneous mix of platforms and operating systems, and they want to unify them and make them work together.

Holding Steady
Web Sphere servers which MediaVue uses start at about $8,000, or about $25 per user for mid-size companies. The price has held steady for nearly two years now an indication of how competitive the server market is.

Perhaps because of this stable pricing, the market for IBM Web Sphere servers saw double-digit sales growth during much of 2002. At the same time, many competitors saw their sales shrink or grow more slowly.

What is the next best thing in the e-business server market? The answer may be unclear, but whatever it is, it is likely to foster a continued environment of reasonable prices and abundant choice -- and that can only be good for business
