Safvan Malik, the current CEO of Web Hosting Buzz, started this business in 2002 with a simple reseller account in another company that Malik started in his spare time when he was a university student. Now, this company is multi-national with over 20,000 clients, hundreds of servers, and a hosting infrastructure that supports some of the most common destinations on the Internet. This company is 100% privately held, which allows Web Hosting Buzz to reinvest in the business. They also are debt free, with no loans or mortgages, and with positive cash flow. They have no qualms in listing ‘team’ members and even supply the general public with a means to contact each team member by email.

Features

This company boasts the fourth largest public email system on the internet and they host elements of the world’s largest mobile/cellular operator’s infrastructure. This capacity allows them to provide many other features that a smaller hosting company cannot provide. Even the least expensive Web hosting packages include Fantastico for auto-installing scripts. Their variety of free scripts is outstanding, as they range from a choice of blog scripts to Wiki software, content management systems such as Mambo and Joomla, photo gallery scripts and more.

Reliability & Reputation

Web Hosting Buzz has chosen three geographically diverse facilities to house their infrastructure, and each location has been selected on it’s own merit after meeting stringent requirements. Each facility features fully redundant infrastructure; internet connectivity, power, internal and human resource. The facilities, located in Clifton, NJ, Dallas, TX and Atlanta, GA 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 that would expose the infrastructure to hurricanes or earthquakes. All facilities are of a minimum of Tier 3/n+1 redundancy specified by The Uptime Institute. All three facilities maintain battery backup. They regularly achieve 100% uptime in any given month for each of their servers, and even when they fall short of this mark, it seldom goes below 99.9%.

Pricing

Web Hosting Buzz offers sites from the budget level to complex, mission critical or high-end systems that require more than 100 servers. So, prices will vary considerably depending upon costumer needs. You would think that this company would offer reseller services since the owner began his career as a reseller – and you’re right. Their new “Startup Reseller Hosting” program is a basic program, and they also offer a “pro” system for resellers and all at reasonable prices.
