East Lansing, MI | Just from experience... I owned a hosting company in the late nineties through 2005. One of the biggest thing with owning a services company is knowing who you are dealing with, and making sure those business relationships are solid. Having the servers in your air-controlled, power-redundant location is only half the battle. You also have to be worried about your ISP, ARIN, DNS, the Phone Company, etc.
When I deal with a company, I make sure that the company has my interests in mind -- to that effect, I don't deal with companies that, for example, don't offer to have an account rep assigned to my account. I will PAY to make sure that somebody is looking out for me, because god knows I have too much stuff to look out for.
GoDaddy has never offered such a thing. They are for people looking for a cheap domain that they don't get full access to. Register.COM, NetSol, etc. all give you FULL access to the SOA record of your domain. Registrars that don't should NOT be an option for your company, let alone a hosting company.
Just another thing you need to check when looking for a shared-host. Who do they register through? Two clicks will tell you loads about how the company is setup. |
