We understand allot of people in America and even the World are facing a great deal of economic crisis right now. I know many personally that have lost their jobs or have been foreclosed on and it is very sad to see what men really high up in suits will do for greed. Just yesterday I went into a Washington Mutual Bank to close our old Eleven2 account, the teller asked why I was wanting to close my account my response was very simple: “You guys went under, why do you think?”. I truly felt sorry for the guys at that branch, as I know any day they will be let go as they merge with Chase. That is what bugs me here, the people that are working hard on the ground level really had no control of this and still will have no control of when their boss says there job is over. I truly believe in order to maintain a market ran economy we cannot give into these stimulus plans and bail everyone out.
Luckily, for the hosting business, without knocking on wood or speaking too soon, we have been very luckily and have continued on a constant growth including our largest month ever in February and even our largest day ever, which was yesterday. We want to give 3 ways to help yourself through the economy (and I am not trying to sound corporate here or promote our sales, these 3 things really can help).
Outsource Hosting
Most companies are moving to outsourced hosting, this saves allot of cap-ex for companies that may have the money right now to pay a monthly recurring cost, but cannot drop 10’s of thousands of dollars on new servers, licensing and such. We are seeing a huge spike in sales on all 3 of our businesses, www.eleven2.com, www.360dart.com and www.180servers.com. We are driven to give our customers the best prices, which is what we feel is driving our crazy growth right now in all 3 businesses. We are about to launch 2 additional brands here shortly, that we are faced with doing based on the demand from our customers. We are selling of exchange exchange hosting through our 360Dart brand, as it saves larger companies allot of licensing and server expenses. We are seeing allot growth in our 180servers business solely based on the the fact that customers who are doing allot of processing or virtualization need there own dedicated server at a great price, which we deliver.
Get a Job
In the past year we have quadrupled the number of employees we have here at Eleven2 and are still hiring, yes we are not crazy.
We are hiring for the following positions:
- Technical Support Representative
- Level III Linux Administrator
- Dedicated Server Sales Representative
- Outside Exchange Sales Representative
- Outside BCP/Colocation Sales Representative
One of our local competitors was stating in a blog post recently how they cannot find employees in this economy, we actually do not see that as accurate if you pay them a honest wage and treat your employees correctly, which we do. We have a great benefit package, we pay well and give out free iPhones, Macbooks and fireworks.
If you are looking for a job, please e-mail me directly and I would love to schedule a person interview with you – rodney@eleven2.com

Eleven2 Hosting
Wow, is all I can say. I have never been part of a more satisfying and fun week with the launch (finally) of our brand new affiliate program.
Affiliates
We are very thrilled about this program and already have lots of customers who have quite large balances now with being just 5 days into our program. Many customers are already running ads on facebook, google sending out e-mail blast to their contact list, posting specials on their blogs or forums, it is such a great way for anyone to earn some extra, or even allot of cash!
New Phone System
Also, we also just got our brand new phone system setup. We have been using a in-house asterisk server for the past 4 years, but were consistently running into problems and would find out quite often our phone system was not working. So we are very pleased to have switched to a hosted solution. I even have a phone at my house now…not sure how to take that yet as I answered a phone call about 5 minuets ago here (1:24AM while writing this), but were very pleased to be able to assist the customer that was calling.
Billing/Support System Upgrades Coming!
We also are in the final stages of some of the preparation for our new sign up form that we are working on right now as well as our new billing/support system upgrade which should be taking place over the course of the few weeks.
cPanel Design!
We are also making very good progress on our cPanel skin that we announced in beta a few months ago, we are working very closely with the beta testers and our developer is making huge progress on this and we hope to have the final product our here shortly.
We have allot on our plates over the next few weeks, I am about to personally head up to Chicago for the 4th annual HostingCon to meet with some of our various vendors and will be looking out for some great new products I can bring home for all of our Eleven2 customers and add to our arsenal of ad-dons and features we can provide for you!
