This last year has been a great one for our company. In 2009 we have grown in size tremendously and have helped launch many successful web sites alongside you, our customers. Early in the year we partnered with ocPortal, Aardvark Topsites and Magento Commerce to provide a optimized hosting solution for those applications, including our popular magento hosting plans. In August, we launched our new high performance servers to improve the quality of the product we offer you. Later that month we launched over 70 video tutorials. In September, our new R1Soft CDP backup technology was introduced. In November we re-established ourself as a corporate web host with a new web site and identity. We also started to publicly offer affordable VPS solutions. 2009 certainly didn’t go without issue, however those problems allowed us to grow and improve as a company.

For myself the New Year represents many important things:

• Opportunity – with a new year and a new decade I find it very inspiring and motivational to help me move forward with my goals that I’ve yet to accomplish.
• Reflection – both personally and professionally. Human beings in todays society can be so busy with life that we take little time to really evaluate ourself, what we are doing and where we are going.
• Moving Forward – Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to move past the hardships in life. It is not an easy thing to accomplish by any means, no matter how big or small the issue might be. This decade and new year represents change, and it gives us all a chance to change things in our lives and with others.

This coming year, let us look forward to a brighter world. In these troubled times let us hope for peace, prosperity, security and happiness to return our great world to something new and better. Let us hope for new friendships and families coming together. Let us hope for our economy to flourish and for small business, corporations, countries and every individual within them to succeed and magnify.

Some of our company goals we hope to offer you this year:

1. Expand our video tutorials and knowledgebase
2. Introduce 24-hour phone support, free for all clients
3. Continue to excell in customer service and improve in any way we can
4. Develop an enhanced cPanel back end, merging your billing login with your control panel so you will only need to remember one username and password
5. Look into new opportunities to improve performance even more

I’d also like to share a few of my personal new years resolutions:

• Find time to exercise more often
• Establish new relationships and friendships
• Enjoy life more – it’s been too long since I’ve taken a real vacation!
• Help Others – I would like to donate some of my free time to help others on a more personal level

We would love to hear from you about what this new year means to you, and any of your New Year resolutions or goals. We encourage our visitors and customers to post and respond to this on our blog, or if you wish, you may contact me personally.

Have a most excellent New Year!

Warm Regards,
