A Coldfusion
Hosting Icon
In the world of Coldfusion hosting
companies just don't seem to last. The ninties
seemed inundated with Coldfusion hosting companys
that promised the moon but rarely ever delivered
and never- NEVER- lasted.
Through it all, however, a little
Coldfusion webhosting firm that started in Austin,
Texas called Webcore Technologies pulsed, beat,
and grew like the heart of a hero and stands today
as the leading company in the world in the Coldfusion
hosting and Coldfusion web design businesses.
Formally founded in 1996, by entrepreneur
and Coldfusion expert, Jordan Bean, Webcore has
followed a much different path than all of it's
competitors.
"We've always aimed at being
a one-stop shop for anyone with a need regarding
Coldfusion hosting." said Bean in a recent
interview. "I saw all kinds of hosting companies
out there offering parts of the package but never
offering the complete deal. That's where I found
the Webcore niche. I aimed specifically at offering
every service that the Coldfusion customer was
looking for at a rate that was affordable. Webcore's
key motto is that our customers will never have
to go elsewhere for a Coldfusion issue. If they
just need Coldfusion hosting, we have it. If they
need Coldfusion VPS, we have that, too. If they
need a Coldfusion expert to design and maintain
their brand new site... Webcore can do it and,
unlike our competitors, we can do it in-house."
The importance of having in-house
talent was a keystone in the success story that
is Webcore Technologies. Customers who phone in
or email on technical issues are never routed
to a call center. Instead they are greeted by
the actual staff that maintains the servers, designs
sites, and generally maintain all the day-to-day
Coldfusion efforts of the company. There is never
a time when a customer gets the dreaded, "Sir,
can you hold? I have to speak to my supervisor."
Bean has spent the last ten years
assembling his team of Coldfusion experts. With
a degree in computer engineering from the University
of Texas, he has learned to spot Coldfusion programming
talent and immediately capitalizes on it.
"Coldfusion experts are the
life blood of this company." Bean stated.
"I look for people with that expertise plus
that extra something that makes a good problem
solver. When people call in, they want to know
that their Coldfusion problem is understood and
that the person on the phone cares about solving
it. That's what I'm after."
Another factor that has made Webcore
succeed in the Coldfusion hosting industry where
so many others have failed is it's fiscal policy.
"No debt!" Exclaimed Bean
on this issue. "A lot of companies in the
ninties would buy facilities and equipment on
credit and they'd fall flat on their face- leaving
the clients who hosted with them in the lurch.
I made the decision early on to run Webcore debt
free and it has paid off. We'll be around in 30
years when hosting companies who borrow fall by
the wayside. We buy the most reliable new equipment-
but only as needed- and you'll never see us taking
big financial risks. Our customers need to know
that their hosting needs will be taken care of
tomorrow."
So where is Webcore going?
"Well, on our quest to be the
best Coldfusion
hosting providerout there we're trying to
add to our service base. If we have a hosting
client that needs traditional Coldfusion services
like Coldfusion VPS, Shared Hosting, or Dedicated
Coldfusion Hosting, we're going to be the best
company to go with. On top of that we'll expand
our offerings into areas like VOIP, graphic design,
and other programming languages to make sure that
there's no portion of a clients web presence we
can't cater to."
