Is your data worth more than your cell phone plan?
Every month, millions of professionals spend between $50.00 and $100.00 on their cell phone plan. It’s automatic. And it’s fully justified: calls, text messages, data, fast Internet access. That is important!
Let me ask you a question.
How much do you pay to host your company’s data… such as your website, your e-mails, your databases or your files.
And above all: what would be the consequences if you lost them tomorrow morning?
Let me tell you the story of Jean, one of our customers
Jean runs his small service business with great rigor. To save money, he chose a $4.99/month hosting provider. One morning, his site was offline, not to mention his e-mails, which were inaccessible. He contacted the support team at this low-cost host: no back-up available, no solution. Within a few hours, Jean had lost everything: his site and his communications history. He realized too late that his business-critical hosting was not up to scratch. The savings were very expensive.
Web hosting: too often seen as a commodity
We always want to pay as little as possible for a product or service. At $1.95, $5.00 or even $10.00, your data shouldn’t be hosted like a liter of milk or a loaf of bread.
Because this quick and economical choice has a downside:
- shared environment with no guarantees, which all too often leads to slowness,
- potential breakdowns,
- lack of service and support,
- unreliable or non-existent backups,
- no backup plan in case of breakdown.
C’est le genre de choses qui passe inaperçu… jusqu’au jour où tout s’arrête. Parlez-en à Jean!
Cellular vs. Web data: a clear imbalance
| Cell Phone Plan (avg. $50/month) | Web Hosting (often < $10/month) |
|---|---|
| For calling, texting, browsing | For selling, informing, operating |
| Fast, 24/7 support (611) | Minimal support, often offshore |
| Personal data | Client data, documents, emails |
| Mobile network for one person | Critical infrastructure for your organization |
So why are most people prepared to invest $50.00 or more/month in a phone package, and so little to ensure their data has a reliable and efficient digital space? Why isn’t your data entitled to a package worthy of your business?
Your DATA is strategic, not secondary
What you’re hosting isn’t “just” a website.
It’s :
- your brand image,
- your business communications,
- your customer files,
- your collaborative tools.
Losing access to all this can cost you much more than a few dozen dollars a month.
When your web hosting service fails… the world shakes
There’s no room for failure, attack or human error when it comes to your data.
Without reliable support and backup, you’re paralyzed: no e-mails, no website, no visibility to the world. You’re invisible!
The real cost is not what you pay each month, but what you lose the day it stops working. Your DATA is worth gold.
What value do you place on your data?
Isn’t it time to review and realign your choices with what’s truly valuable?
- Reliable hosting,
- Proactive monitoring,
- Intelligent backups,
- Redundancy and availability,
- Secure local infrastructure.
How about investing in resilience rather than a small price tag?
Your data is worth its weight in gold. Offer them a digital solution that comes with the protection they deserve.
