SingleHop’s Road to Success

June 22nd, 2011

Zak Boca and Dan Ushman of SingleHop have recently shared some of the secrets of their success in the field of offering web hosting. In the interview conducted and published by Under30ceo.com they answered several questions regarding their current very successful web hosting business, SingleHop, as well as how they have reached this point in their career.

Before SingleHop, Boca and Ushman established a web hosting company called Midphase. They did so with a starting investment of only $1500, but the company grew organically to over 100,000 clients in just a couple of years. When this happened, both dropped out of college and never looked back.

They subsequently sold Midphase, using the money to start their current company, SingleHop. This company today boasts of 8,000 dedicated servers, more than 4,000 clients and growing, and is present in over 100 countries around the world. And they must be doing something right, because the venture they started together a decade ago on beer money, is today worth about $20 million.

And the main secret of their success? Above all, this has been due to offering high reliability, support, and a good network for all their web hosting clients. Through the years, they have also created their own unique approach to server management which features just the right mix of automation, availability, and ease of use.

They offer the capability to automate practically everything, giving their clients total server control anytime and anywhere. Their LEAP Platform allows access from any web browser, smartphone, or tablet computer, which means they can now do business virtually anywhere. And to top it off, SingleHop also offers 24/7/365 customer support, which also gives clients a single point of contact, meaning that they can build a relationship with a single customer service representative.
