i was doing some research and came across this:

We have plenty of experience providing hosting services to many global names including Johnson & Johnson, Proctor & Gamble, Volks Wagon, General Motors, Motorola and Microsoft

I bet if those cpmpanies needed hosting in the following countries,then yes, they might have used this service.

Singapore
Cyberjaya, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)
Bangkok (Thailand)
Sydney (Australia)
Shanghai (China)
Beijing (China)
Guangzhou (China)
Hong Kong
Mumbai (India)
Jakarta (Indonesia)

The I find most "NOT" believable is Microsoft, why would they get hosting with anyone?
They use there own server.

i agree, i guess to be credible and believable in this case is when they try quoting companies like that to have a link of some sort as proof or else people with "know-how" will just laughed at them. :imho:

and their pricing as well seems pricey having quoted companies like that they can bloat their pricing as well;

Off topic, but since this is a casual thread in the break room....

The 442K center image on their homepage is a perfect example of how NOT to design & optimize your site for visitors of all connection speeds and locations. That's just wasteful, and a little optimizing could probably achieve 90% of the image quality with 1/4 the file size. I realize people with high speed don't think about such things, but to me (as a dial-up user) it's a real turn off and a reflection of the company's attention to detail, or lack thereof.

On the other hand, I'm feeling a little less guilty about the 90K header (previously thought too big) I've been working on for my own site. Suddenly, it doesn't seem near as bad.
