Q&A with Ryan Morris, CoolHandle Marketing Director

1. Hello Ryan, thanks a lot for being with us today. Let’s do some introduction for start. How would you describe your role in the company and what can we know about CoolHandle?

Thanks for having me! My name is Ryan Morris, CoolHandle’s Director of Marketing. Formerly known as Pronet Hosting, CoolHandle has provided users with reliable, professional hosting solutions since 2001. We are also one of the fastest-growing companies within the web hosting industry – just last year, in fact, we doubled the size of our data center for higher capacity!

2. What is the size of CoolHandle’s business? Can we have some rough numbers on the domain names and customers the company is holding at this time of writing?

We are rapidly growing, so the exact numbers are always changing, but currently we host over 30,000 domains.

3. Who should consider signing up with CoolHandle? Please briefly describe the company’s target audience.

Our commitment to customer service is an important and distinguishing characteristic of our company. Our first and foremost objective as a company is to sustain long-lasting relationships with our partners and customers. We service a very broad audience, ranging from internet marketers to WordPress and Joomla enthusiasts, from casual users to business professionals.

4. What can we know more about CoolHandle’s data center at Los Angeles?

Located in the heart of Los Angeles, our data center is in the same building as 12 of the nation’s largest Internet providers’. Our data center boasts on-demand connectivity with all major upstream providers. Our redundant network infrastructure is connected to separate circuits, and the entire building is heavily monitored to ensure maximum security and uptime.

5. Let’s talk about customer support, what kind of after-sales services does CoolHandle provide? How many staffs do you have in the customer support department? 

Our dedicated team of employees provides prompt and reliable services. Our hosting customer support department offers 24/7/365 customer service assistance via phone, live chat, and support tickets. We also feature an industry-leading fully interactive help site on our site’s Troubleshooting area.

6. CoolHandle offers different VPS hosting plans. Can you tell us more about these offers?

We offer several tiers of customizable VPS hosting packages at an affordable rate. For customers, it’s a great way to start small with the ability to still scale up very quickly. With full root access, users are able to install advanced software and completely customize virtually anything. For easy administration, cPanel is available as well. Our basic package starts at .95/month with free domain privacy forever.

7. There are more and more hosting providers going ‘cloud’ nowadays. Is cloud hosting part of CoolHandle’s plan in near future?

We don’t like to jump into new technology without testing it thoroughly, so while we are exploring the option of cloud hosting, we need to make sure that it’s something we can support and execute properly. We don’t have any specific roll-out dates for now, but we are definitely looking into it.

8. One last question, how does the merger with ProNetHosting.net impact CoolHandle’s business in overall? Where do you see CoolHandle in next 5 years?

The merger benefited both parties in several ways: 1) it improved the overall efficiency of our infrastructure, 2) it improved the quality of our customer service, and 3) the merger reduced overall costs, boosting efficiency. As for where I see CoolHandle in 5 years, what with the changing landscape of the hosting business and the rate we are growing, the opportunities for growth are simply boundless.   
9. That’s all for my questions. Thanks again for your time, is there anything you would like to add in this interview?

Thank you for your time as well. I’m glad you gave us the opportunity to give a bit more insight to users about CoolHandle.

Thanks for having me. My name is Michael Lavrik and I’m an operating partner at Interserver, but my official title is Director of Business Development.

My colleagues and I work out of our office/datacenter in Secaucus, NJ. We started this business in 1999 -when I was only 15 years old- by reselling virtual hosting accounts for another provider. Then we bought our first dedicated server, switched to colocation, then a rack, then multiple racks. Fifteen years later we operate two datacenters in Secaucus NJ and are expanding rapidly into other locations like Los Angeles, CA.

Impressive. What is the #1 thing that motivates you to get up to work at Interserver in the morning?

My motivation is to continuing to grow the business while maintaining excellent customer service. One of the largest challenges with a rapidly expanding customer base is alienating your customers and I think we’ve been doing a great job at providing quality service while maintaining a budget-friendly price point. I hope we can continue to offer the same great service for another fifteen years.

Could you tell us one thing that most people do not know about yourself?

After sitting in front of the computer at the office all day, I love to get dirty! In addition to the various maintenance and repair at the office, in my free time, I’m restoring a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=1969+Pontiac+GTO+Convertible&hl=en&biw=1920&bih=993&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=4GYNVM6sJ8S2uATPzYHoAg&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ" target="_blank">1969 Pontiac GTO Convertible.

Interserver Web Hosting Services

What can we know more about Interserver?

Interserver is a Secaucus, NJ based company that’s been providing budget-friendly hosting service since 1999. We offer shared hosting, dedicated servers, VPS and colocation. Our support department operates 24/7, so you can call us anytime.

Very well. As you mentioned, the company offers almost everything in hosting – Shared, Cloud, Reseller, Dedicated. What’s your best selling package?

The core of our business has always been dedicated servers, but with changes in technology we’re seeing a big shift to Virtual Private Servers and Cloud. Our current focus is to continue to expand our Virtual Server client base as rapidly as possible.

InterServer handles every aspect (data center, server network, Linux Kernel, etc) in web hosting. How is that better than other hosting companies that outsource part of their operations?

I think the difference is experience; we’ve been doing this for 15 years.

We’ve made all our mistakes already. We follow a proven model for every aspect of the operation from running an Ethernet cable to installing software.

I was setting up my VPS hosting at Interserver earlier* and I like how we can customize (almost) everything. What are some of other advantages with Interserver’s Cloud VPS Plans? Why should customers switch over to InterServer’s VPS?

id="attachment_10812" style="width: 760px" class="wp-caption aligncenter">class="size-full wp-image-10812" src="http://whsr.webrevenueinc1.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/interserver-routing.jpg" alt="Interserver routing protocol (source: http://www.interserver.net/facility.html)" width="750" height="555" srcset="http://whsr.webrevenueinc1.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/interserver-routing.jpg 750w, http://whsr.webrevenueinc1.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/interserver-routing-300x222.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />class="wp-caption-text">Interserver routing protocol (source: href="http://www.interserver.net/facility.html">http://www.interserver.net/facility.html)

Our platform is like no other because we built it!

All provisioning is integrated into my.interserver.net. You can order web hosting, domain names, VPS, dedicated servers, SSL, software licenses (cpanel, plesk, fantastico, Softaculous, Cloud linux, Light speed), and Quick Servers all from the same location. It also has additional features like server monitoring and DNS hosting available and you don’t need to be a customer to use it.

On the operations side of this platform we’re able to manage every part of our infrastructure. Even though we deal with 1000’s of servers, every single cable, device, server, and switch is inventoried and monitored on our platform. With our powerful tools and proven experience we are able to deliver a service unmatched by our competition.

* Note: Thanks for Michael – I have got a free VPS account at InterServer. Testing is in progress right now and you’ll see a detail review on InterServer very soon.

On Business & Hosting Advice

It’s already September in 2014 . How is Interserver doing in business this year? Will there be any major changes in the company’s services?

This year we successfully launched our href="http://www.interserver.net/affiliate.php" target="_blank">affiliate platform and currently pay 0 per sale to our affiliates. Some unique features such as custom landing pages for our affiliates have drawn a lot of attention and extra revenues to our partners.

By the end of the year we hope to launch a new location in Texas. Other than that we’re still providing the same quality service we’ve always offered.

In your opinion, what makes a good dedicated web host? What are some of the key points to look into when we are choosing a dedicated hosting?

Know who you’re buying from and where the server will end up. Try to avoid resellers; the company should preferably own the datacenter.

If it’s collocated, how quickly can a tech have physical contact with it? For example, before we built a datacenter we rented office space inside the same building as our colocation provider to have instant access to hardware. Is the provider able to pick up the phone 24/7? Try calling at 3am. And -of course- check the reviews online!

That’s all for my questions, thanks again for your time. Anything you would like to add?

It’s been a pleasure speaking with you. Being a part of this industry for the last 15 years has been an extremely rewarding experience. I look forward to seeing the industry evolve for many years to come and hope Interserver continues to be a trusted choice for everyone’s hosting needs.
