Yesterday, the stock markets tumbled as a result of the rejection of the bank bailout bill.  Although we certainly aren’t happy about this situation, we want you to know that we are an owner operative, cash flow positive company.  We have diversified financial headquarters in both the U.S. and Dubai, so we should have no issues through this financial turmoil.  We will continue to focus on offering you the fastest, most stable, and economical hosting company on the market.

In order to better know our customers, what they were using our services for, and how we are doing as a company, we decided to survey our current WHB customers.  Most of the feedback was good, some of it was rather amusing, but it did give us some direction as to how we can make WebHostingBuzz even better.

What were some of our favorite comments?

“WHB is simply THE best hosting provider I have been using. I have been involved on the internet since 1997, By no comparison, WHB are the BEST on planet earth when it comes to server uptime, prices and packages and an outstanding customer service and support. these are my 2cents and I am sticking to my statement.”
