Web Hosting Buzz Review
WebHostingBuzz was started in 2002 by Safvan Malik, the current CEO. Its grass roots were a simple reseller account of another company started by Safvan in his spare time whilst at University studying Business Management.
Fast forward 6 years and HostingBuzz is now a multi-national company hosting over 300,000 websites, hundreds of servers and provide hosting infrastructure to some of the most common destinations on the internet today.
However, since inception, some things remain:
It's 100% privately held. It has no share holders. This means they spend the money where it matters - on WebHostingBuzz. It's debt free. No loans, no mortgages and cash flow positive.
Data Centres
Choice of data center is paramount for any hosting company that wishes to continually deliver high performance and reliable hosting to their client base. WebHostingBuzz chose three geographically diverse facilities to house its infrastructure. Each facility features fully redundant infrastructure; internet connectivity, power, internal and human resource. All facilities are discreet, unmarked and secure.
Data centers are becoming an increasingly popular target for thieves and criminals because of their often invaluable contents. None of the facilities are in natural disaster prone areas. All facilities are of a minimum of Tier 3/n+1 redundancy specification (as specified by The Uptime Institute)
