And whatever that other sham hosting company Magg had
All "great companies" that promised great things. What happened to these guys?
There are several others...
I'm not saying anything about the company in question... I'm simply saying, you really should care what your hosting company does. Maybe today you don't see signs of it... but in six months if they skipped town, don't be crying.

Exactly.
For the record it doesn't matter if you own your own datacenter (most hosts don't)
What does matter is that you tell the truth to your customers (and potential future customers)
If you're lying about having your own datacenter, then you're probably lying about how many techs work for you....might even be lying about the network your routing traffic through (one of the oldest lies in hosting is routing inbound traffic through a premium provider and routing outbound traffic through cogent)
Your host has access to everything, your email lists, your databases, EVERYTHING, so a very important question when deciding where to host is
"can you trust them?"
Pacific Quack has shown that they can't be trusted.
