Overview
DataPipe's hosting business began in 1998 with just three employees and less than 100 customers. Today, they service more than 4,000 clients and manage more than 2,500 servers in three data centers. While many hosting companies and ISPs have failed in the last three years, DataPipe has had average growth of more than 50% year over year and has been profitable for more than three years.
Since every interaction with DataPipe is handled by a real person, company's primary investment is it's employees. Staff and staffing levels are audited on a monthly basis to ensure their ability to maintain their industry standards of responsiveness and client satisfaction.
Features
DataPipe is a trusted hosting company providing managed solutions for any size business.
Datapipe Power Plan costs $39.95 per month without setup fee and is for both Linux and Windows platform available. If you choose
windows you'll get ASP, Shared SSL, anti-virus mail and FrontPage. If you prefer Linux you'll be able to work with PHP, MySQL
and E-commerce options. In any case you'll get your own CGI-bin, unlimited FTP accounts and access to Raw Log Files.
However it's too expensive $39.95 for 200 Mb storage and 10Gb Bandwidth
Other Virtual Solutions
If you need to create dynamic web pages and interactive web sites you should
try Power Fusion or Standart Fusion Datapipe's plan. Both of them includes Cold Fusion tags which allows
you to build everything from online stores to sophisticated business systems, quickly and easily.
Also if you need power Media stream you can consider Streaming Media solution with Windows Media Server or Real G2
Server. You can get this plan with 100 Mb of Web Storage and 100 Mb of Media Storage or only with 200 Mb of Media
Storage with no Web Storage (if you already have web site and want to add streaming).
Actually their site design and navigation are very messy, and therefore looking for information is quite
troublesome. Sometimes, a feature is claimed to be offered in a page but is not mentioned at all in another page.
Customer Support
Datapipe's support is available by Email and by toll free number.
Support response is not that fast, as it can take up to 1 day to hear from them. Sometimes your requests get no
reply at all. So if you have some question to Datapipe and need fast answer you should better make an phonecall.
For technical support, the number is 888-749-5821 ( if you live in UK 201-792-4847) and it is available 24/7. For sales
and billing, the number is 877-773-3306.
Conclusion
If you agree to pay extra for reputation, Datapipe is worth to try. But be careful with them - they don't offer some common features and their prices is too high for those who are on budget. Do some more search before start your site with them.
