FAQs

What is concierge hosting?
There is no one size fits all solution with hosting. Concierge hosting is where we create the perfect hosting solution for your needs. Unlike mass-market providers, we don’t make you settle for the “closest match”. We work out with you exactly what you need for hosting that you never have to think about again. Think of it as the “Goldilocks solution” – just right for your needs without having to pay one cent more than you need to.
How do I choose the right level of hosting?
You don’t need to. That’s what the MindVision Hosting Concierge is for! Pick up the phone or drop us a line and we’ll jump on the case for you. We’ll figure out what services you need and if there are choices to be made we’ll explain them in your language, not geek speak.
Do you offer other services?
We can register your domain names and your secure certificates. With so many scams these days, our clients like the comfort of knowing that if the invoice doesn’t come from MindVision, then it is a scam.
Can you help me with my website / application?
MindVision have been developing websites and custom software developers for over 20 years and we would be very happy to extend those services to you as well.

If your own or original developer cannot respond, then chances are that we can either help you directly or point you in the right direction.

Isn’t it unusual for a software developer to provide hosting as well?
Yes, it is pretty unusual. As software developers, back in the 90’s we couldn’t find any hosting providers that gave personal and flexible service that we felt was good enough for our clients – so we did it ourselves. The hosting industry has changed a lot in the last 20 years but if anything it is become even more impersonal and formula driven.

MindVision software clients love the fact that no matter what the problem it only takes one phone call. Whether the issue is software or hosting, the buck stops at MindVision.

Why is there such a variation in hosting charges?
There are a lot of factors that influence the cost of a hosting service including:

  • The number of sites or applications on a single server (contention). Hosting that loads pages in less than a second is more expensive than 5 to 10 second capacity.
  • The services that are needed to support your website or application (database, error tracking, binary storage, transient server, long term storage etc.)
  • How much traffic you need to deliver to normally and what the peaks will be
  • The responsiveness that is appropriate for your site or application (memory and CPU power)
  • What level of uptime you really need (or how great will be the cost or inconvenience whenever your site or application is down). Hosting a mission critical site will be more expensive than hosting a normal site.
Can I buy and set up online?
No. Self-service is mass-market mentality. However, once we have worked out what you need and got you all set up, then you can certainly maintain your site or application yourself.
What about ongoing support?
You are never just a number at MindVision. We like to get to know the business and needs of all our customers. If you are a concierge client, we KNOW that your website or application is important to you. Our response time will vary depending on the service level you have chosen but you won’t have to go through a series of help desk escalations to get to someone capable of solving your problem.
