Why Should You Consider PSPINC...

Mar

Why Should You Consider PSPINC for your Web and Email Hosting?

Aren’t all hosting companies basically the same? If so, why shouldn’t you just choose the cheapest option for your web and email? This argument would be valid if the idea that “all hosting companies are the same” was true, but that is just not the case. When you look at websites of hosting companies, they all look alike. In fact, even I can’t tell why some hosting companies’ prices are so much different from others.

So we should really look at the history of web and email outsourcing. When we started our hosting business in 1996, we provided a mere 10MB of web and 10MB of email storage for $75 per month, which was very inexpensive at the time. Currently, we provide 1,000 times the space for both web and email for about $21 per month. If you were to pay the same rate as you were 1996, your current service from PSPINC would cost $75,000. This means we have reduced our price 99.972% in last 16 years.

One reason we could do this is because we build all our infrastructure and back-end software ourselves. We own and constantly update and upgrade our software and hardware to remain up-to-date and competitive without over-spending. We do not license software from other companies. We are primarily a hosting company, but we are also a software development company with almost 25 years of industry experience. We have been building software since the days of MD-DOS, Apple Talk and 8086 Assembly Language. I have worked with IBM mainframe network SNA since I graduated from the college in 1983. I have been working with large-area private and public network since when there was no internet or even Compuserve or AOL.

Are we better than other hosting companies? Because different clients have different needs, I can’t comment on “better or worse”, but we are certainly different. Our pricing is about same as any other major hosting company in the US or around the world, but we can serve you better because we built our products ourselves. If there is a problem, we can fix it right away rather than wait for the original software development company. We can communicate with the most sophisticated engineers and web developers because we know what we are doing.

So when you are choosing which company to trust with your web and email, you should give us a call. We are a different kind of hosting company, working to provide the most reliable and affordable solutions for your business needs. We are different and proud of it.

Another EV Charging Station

This one is only one block a way from our office. It is at Walgreen on 140th and NE 8th in Bellevue. With more charging stations (many of the are FREE), t starting make more and more sense to own a EV.

PSPINC is experimenting with NISSAB LEAF as one of our fleet cars. PSPINC uses lots of electricity running over 500 servers at our data centers. So we are doing everything we can to reduce energy usages.

Gang Ho --- 1986 Movie

Mar

This movie was a hit when I was sent by Japanese company to open a office in Seattle, Washington. I was 27 then. I did not know within one year from the release of this movie, I would start Pacific Software Publishing, Inc.

When I started Pacific Software Publishing, Inc., Japanese style management would never work in the US, and Japanese people told me American style management would never work in the company dealing with Japan.

I never manage Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. either Japanese way nor American way. It was my way.

If you are interested, you can watch full movie at HERE!.

iPad is delayed by 4 days

Mar

I just received email from Apple telling me that my iPad is delayed for for days. To make sure, they are offering the loaner iPad to be delivered on the original day. Just read the email ... they are really concerned about what people think of them.

I decided to wait until it comes. I can wait.
