SingleHop Named Top Managed Dedicated Hosting Provider by Web Host Directory

Chicago, IL - Chicago-based managed dedicated server provider, SingleHop, Inc. has been named one of the best dedicated hosting providers of January 2007 by UK based Web Host Directory www.webhostdir.com. Ironically, SingleHop was founded in October 2006, marking an unprecedented rise in popularity against many other well established providers, some of whom have been in business for ten years or more. Web Host Directory awards are determined through a tally of public votes and a Web Host Directory review board.

“We set out to raise the bar across the industry in terms of what is most important to companies requiring dedicated managed hosting:  customer service and price,” says Zak Boca, president of SingleHop. 

SingleHop reinvented industry policies by offering a fully transparent suite of ala carte services. For the first time ever business customers are able to tailor their level of support to their needs and expertise, instead of being pigeonholed into fixed fee trouble ticket or vague tiered services support.

“Until we launched SingleHop most hosting provider’s offered very few options in managed services; consumers either opted for pay as you go trouble tickets, which added up very quickly or for tiered support, which is like paying for a tune up when you need an oil change. We’re the that model out the window and allowing our customers to purchase exactly what they need on a service by service basis, and this message clearly resonated very quickly with the industry” says Zak Boca, President, SingleHop.
