Why is oxeo so expensive

I see a lot of people praising oxeo but why are they so bloody expensive?


If you want a stable site are these guys really worth paying the extra $$$ for their hosting?

I see many similar replies, do most people think its worth paying 4 times as much just for 100% uptime as opposed to 99.9% or do their pages load faster than most hosts?

Yeah some do. And they are really not that expensive IMO.

Do you drive a Yugo, by any chance, and wonder why a Mercedes is so expensive?

Any problems whatsoever, I send an IM over to them and is taken care of instantly. This is why I'll pay the extra $. And knowing my site is up 100% is an added bonus.
You know, when I was choosing hosts, it was between Likewhoa and Oxeo. Damn am I happy I went with oxeo, lol.

This is so true, if u contact him he will offer u a great deal, and they are cheaper and more reliable then other host! We went thru two crappy more expensive host before we settled with Oxeo, and I can assure u no matter what time it is, their is always someone there to help u! They fix the problem right away! I have no complaints with them, they are really GREAT guys!

You know what, I've had servers at different hosts for a while now, and so long as you don't drop into a really crap one like UnitedColo or Rackshack, or some new outfit finding their feet. It makes no difference. Oxeo will have downtime, every host has downtime. Different pipes get slower, get faster. The extra money buys fuck all in the long run.

Just my experience for what it's worth.

oxeo isn't expensive considering in the entire time of my hosting there my sites have gone down 2 times, for 2-3 minutes each for hardware changes and i was informed of this well in advance.

I'd rather pay a little more at the end of the month and know my sites work, then trying to add up how much money i've lost because i use a 2nd rate host whose servers are always fucked up.

you get what you pay for, and with oxeo it's 100% uptime and bombass customer service

Thanks everyone.

We feel that our prices are competitive and reflect the quality of our services. When we are able to cut deals, we always have and always will.

However, we are releasing a new site this month with a new pricing structure, some packages will go down in price as well as some new services will be available. So check it out.

A) They are not expensive

B) If you are nickle and diming about hosting you are already starting off on the wrong foot in this business

You are the same type that wants to have a 3rd party biller where you dont have to pay $750 and a designer from India that will make you 250 banners for $5 and exit traffic for cheap.

Oxeo is great and it worths every single dollar....great service and great costumer suport.....me and Bruno will never use another host. And it´s not that expensive, they charge a fair price considering the service they offer....and you can do great deals, just talk to Mike.
(Bruno has worked on a very good 15% discount to his clients with Oxeo - check www.dickamsndesign.com - extra benefits)

look in these days I dont give a shit about money anymore its all about peice of mind for me

I use CaveCreek, Oxeo and WebAir all are solid and almost no major downtime, are they the cheapest I dont know and dont care I know they have been solid.

Same goes when I hire designers now etc I dont care I simply look for clean records in this business and just pay for it.

Oxeo is a little more expensive.

But having been in IT for the last 8 years, I've learned that it's VERY hard to put a price on great support. Every domain request, db request, or even any annoying little question has been handled within 15 minutes or so of EMAILING (not calling) support. Yes, you should expect this from any hosting company but sadly most (well, the ones I've dealt with) have been unable to provide adequate support.

Anyone can sell you hosting, but not many can come through with quick service.

I love 'em.

I HATE those guys who pay for a nice design and then resell hosting for a cheap rate, and the "support" number is the dude's cell phone. I DON'T GIVE TWO SHITS THAT YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF DINNER. Or the kids are screaming. Don't fucking sell a service you can't provide.
