qualitative and affordable web hosting solutions.
What Sparked The Idea, And How Has It Evolved So Far?
The idea for Virtono was sparked by our observation of growing businesses in Romania that were in need of more resources than a standard shared hosting account could provide. As successful websites and online shops continued to expand, it became clear that they needed their own dedicated space, but without the high cost of traditional dedicated servers.
In response to this need, we decided to offer managed and unmanaged cloud VPS services, providing the support and resources these businesses needed to continue growing. This idea has evolved over the years as we’ve expanded our offerings and reach, but our commitment to delivering top-notch web hosting services at fair prices remains unchanged.
What Problems Are Affecting Your Customers When They Come To You, And What Makes Them Choose You Over Your Competitors?
At Virtono.com, we often see customers coming to us after being dissatisfied with the support they received from other hosting companies. Unfortunately, many big hosting providers offer only basic and inadequate support, which leaves their customers feeling frustrated.
At Virtono, we prioritize providing exceptional support to our customers. Our team is available 24/7 and is always eager to help with any issues that may arise. We are dedicated to providing fast response times and friendly support, always going above and beyond to resolve any problems our customers may encounter.
We understand that our customers have a variety of needs, including website hosting, installing and testing applications and scripts, and developing new applications. When it comes to website hosting, one of the main issues we see is slow loading speeds. This is often due to small misconfigurations that can be easily fixed with proper support.
To ensure fast loading speeds for our customers, we use custom software configurations and powerful hosting servers with NVMe SSD storage and a 10Gbps internet connection. Our use of LiteSpeed, the world’s fastest web server, gives our customers the peace of mind that their website will be fast and reliable.
Can You Share Any Recent Success Story From Your Users?
We take pride in the success of our customers and their websites. One of our recent success stories involves a small online shop that was struggling with slow loading times and poor user experience on their previous hosting platform. They came to us for help, and after migrating to our servers, they saw a dramatic improvement in their website’s performance.
The fast loading speeds and improved user experience immediately had a positive impact on their business. They experienced a lower bounce rate, which boosted their search engine rankings, resulting in more traffic and sales. In no time, their small online shop became a well-known marketplace in the region, and they have seen tremendous success and growth.
We are thrilled to have been a part of their journey and to have played a role in their success. We are always dedicated to providing our customers with the best possible experience and the tools they need to succeed online.
What Tools Are In Your Current Techstack, And How Do You Benefit From Them?
Our technology stack is a key aspect of our commitment to providing reliable, secure, and efficient hosting services to our clients. Our recent upgrades to our infrastructure have greatly enhanced our ability to offer exceptional services. Our servers are equipped with the latest hardware, including Intel Xeon Gold processors, multiple 10Gbps connections, and only solid-state drives (SSDs) and non-volatile memory express (NVMe) drives, ensuring the fast and smooth operation of our clients’ websites and applications.
When it comes to software, we only use the best tools from the hosting industry. For our shared hosting clients, we exclusively use cPanel servers, as cPanel is the most popular and widely used graphical web-based control panel in the industry. For our VPS services, we use Virtualizor, a powerful web-based VPS control panel that allows users to deploy and manage VPS with a single click. This gives our customers full control over their servers, just as if they were in their own homes.
For customers who require custom cloud applications, we offer a range of tools and technologies, including OpenStack, Kubernetes, and Docker, among others. Our team of experts has also developed a range of applications and scripts, as well as bash scripts, to automate monitoring and intervention tasks, further enhancing the reliability and efficiency of our services.
Finally, our mother company is currently developing the world’s most advanced tools pack for administrators, which will include innovative and powerful tools driven by artificial intelligence (AI). This software will be of immense value to web developers, system administrators, and network engineers, and will include a comprehensive website, server, and network monitoring tool. However, we cannot reveal more about it at this time, as we want to keep it a surprise for our customers.
How Do You See The Future Of Your Industry, And How Do You Plan To Adapt To Them?
The future of our industry is undoubtedly in the cloud, and we have been keeping a close eye on its evolution. With the growth of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS), we are seeing a shift in the way businesses utilize technology to meet their needs. The cloud offers a level of scalability and flexibility that was previously unachievable with traditional hosting solutions, and it’s a critical component for developers who are building the digital landscape of the future.
At our company, we are focused on offering the latest and most innovative cloud solutions to our clients. This includes managed cloud databases, serverless computing with cloud functions, and a suite of other cloud-based tools and services. Our goal is to make the transition to the cloud as seamless and stress-free as possible for our customers, and to ensure that they have access to the resources they need to build and scale their applications.
We understand that the cloud is not just a trend, but a fundamental shift in the way technology is being utilized. As such, we are dedicated to staying ahead of the curve and investing in the tools and infrastructure that will help us provide our customers with the best possible cloud experience. Whether it’s through developing our own proprietary technologies, or by partnering with leading cloud providers, we are committed to being at the forefront of the cloud revolution.
