“We have declared that its mission as a cloud hosting service provider is to help SMBs to take control over their IT infrastructure in the rapidly changing cloud service market”, said HostColor.com CEO Dimitar Avramov. He adds that there is s growing dependence of SMBs on the so-called major clouds and their corporate business models. “Businesses who moved their IT infrastructure to any of the major clouds, experience skyrocketing monthly bills for internet access to their public cloud and private apps, higher costs for technical support, increased IT infrastructure management effort, defacto lock-in of their infrastructure due to the high costs of data transfer, and growing data privacy concerns,” explains HC’s executive. He adds that plugins like Backpuply give business owners more freedom to move seamlessly their WordPress websites and data on and off the major clouds and to apply custom data backup and restore policies.

HostColor.com has recently announced 4 new locations for the delivery of Public Cloud Server hosting services – New York, London, Frankfurt, and Singapore. Their opening is in line with the company’s Cloud infrastructure priorities – “localization of the cloud services” and “increased bandwidth rate at fixed monthly cost”.
