At Openly Connected, we take hosting seriously.
Openly Connected, has learned over the years about the importance of website hosting done right and the effects of hosting, on an overall website effort. Downtime, slow page loads, insecure servers and poor server support cause frustration, lost time, and lowers the number of visitors to a site. The painful truth is; "great hosting can make little improvement on bad site better, but poor hosting can harm a good site!"

There are 2 main factors when looking at website performance:
1.) The hosting servers & network, the power and stability of the server hardware and how it is connected to the Internet.
2.) The Website, how it is constructed, what it is displaying and how it has been maintained.
"No finger pointing, no excuses" Openly Connected takes full responsibility for both of these factors. Because we control the whole system: hosting and application layer, we are comfortable with the notion, "the buck stops here" . When we install your site on our servers, we document ever aspect of health, performance and provide a report with suggestions for improvement (if needed) and a baseline from your previous host. Most of the time just installing your site on our high-performance servers is enough to get a nice increase in response time and efficiency. Working with our client, using the business requirements / goals we collect when we sign-up a client about the business and the site, budget constraints and user traffic and client input we come-up with a long term plan to provide an effective, "best fit solution" for launch and continuous improvement each day from then on to meet and exceed our clients execrations.
