We have our heads in the clouds
Things are changing around here — and that’s a good thing.
Think back before the dot-com bubble, or as some like to call it, “dot-gone”. Back when using a phone line and enduring about 15 seconds of circa-1950 robotic sounds was the primary way to connect to the Internet. A time when the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit 10,000 for the first time in history and all seemed well in the world. WebRunners was right there in the middle of it all. Putting our stake in the ground in our generation’s “Space Race”.
Then the bubble burst. Chaos ensued. Fire and brimstone rained down in Silicon Valley. You know the story.
After the dust settled, we were still there, unaffected. No vaporized VC money we had relied on. No layoffs. Why? Because we built our business with a clear vision and we built it ourselves. A vision that every product or service we offer be something that adds value and truly helps our customers overcome business challenges. We still operate with that mentality today. Teaming up with clients of all sizes to overcome their unique challenges. Face it, everyone has challenges. But what if there was one less thing to worry about? What could you use that time for? How about not having to worry about your website going down? Or your valuable company data being lost because your life’s work was on a USB drive that just melted down?
Since 1998 we have existed to ensure our customers have maximum up-time and minimum technology headaches. That won’t change because it’s what defines us.
However, some other things have changed here at WebRunners. And we’re very excited about it.
Earlier this year we decided to spin-off our 13 year-old Shared Hosting business into its own company called Webology Hosting, lead by a very capable team we have worked with for many years. Last month we completed the transition without a hitch. The decision was made in order to focus as much as possible on delivering the best experience with our new products. We have our heads in the clouds. That’s because we built a whole new platform we call VMcloud using cutting-edge technologies from industry-leading partners like VMware and NetApp. This cloud platform allows us to further execute our vision of helping reduce un-needed headaches and maximizing our clients’ up-time. We’re proud to say that Webology Hosting’s entire customer base is now running in VMcloud.
As we open this new chapter for WebRunners, we know we can earn the same trust we have been fortunate enough to enjoy for over a decade from a multitude of happy Shared Hosting clients. Now join us as we expand in to the cloud. Our business is changing but our vision remains solid.
See you in the clouds!
WebRunners Team
