CARI.net has provided On-Demand from Day One

Recently, there has been a lot of “buzz” in the hosting industry regarding “on-demand” services. “On-demand” services are simply any service that enables users to turn services on or off at will and enable the scaling of resources up or down. The reality of the matter is CARI.net has been offering on-demand services from day one! That’s thirteen years ahead of the industry.

Most hosting companies force their customers to sign an annual if not bi-annual contract before the customers’ servers are even ordered and/or built. This enables the hosting company to lock the customer in for payment regardless of whether or not the hosting company lives up to their side of the deal. Additionally, it has not been uncommon for customers to wait days or even weeks for server clusters to come online and be available to them.

CARI.net has never held our customers hostage to a long term contract. Since 1997, CARI.net has always realized that the way to keep customers is to exceed customers’ expectations, not lock customers into long term contracts. Unlike other hosting companies, the CARI.net team holds ourselves accountable to our customers. CARI.net also recognizes the fact that some customers may not need a server for more than a month or two and that is why we have always provided on-demand services in which customers can add and remove services in their account at will.

Rather than strong-arm salespeople, CARI.net offers superior service at a fair cost. This is how CARI.net earns our business. It’s also the reason why CARI.net is the right choice for hosting your enterprise servers, clusters and cloud computing services.

The reason on-demand is taking over the industry is that it is the right thing to do for you, the customer. The traditional business model that most hosting companies follow of locking customers into long term contracts is simply wrong and CARI.net has always known this. While many hosting companies have come and gone since 1997, CARI.net continues to be a leader in the industry.

At CARI.net on-demand is not just a marketing technique it’s the way we do business. Contact us to see what CARI.net can do for you.
