    Do not allow your ISP to hijack your business


    Running a small business is not easy. While it is extremely hard to make money, everyone wants a cut. It is OK if they provide the valuable services to help your business. But sometimes, for un-ethical service providers, they may hijack your business when you are in the middle of crisis, especially the ones who provide critical services to keep your business running.

    Recently, we experienced a situation when our old ISP (Internet Service Provider) is trying to take advantage of our business crisis, by increase price significantly. They know it is very costly and troublesome for us to move our sites. After careful consideration, we decided to move because that we simply could not trust our business to someone who is not ethical by taking advantage of their customers. So when choosing an ISP, in addition to price, it is very important to choose an ISP who is ethical and providing quality service such as technical support and high up-time of the servers. After all, moving your site is a lot of trouble.
