Is your data worth more than your mobile plan?
Every month, millions of professionals spend between $50.00 and $100.00 for their mobile phone plan. It’s a given. And it’s fully justified: calls, texts, data, fast internet access. It’s important!
Let me ask you a question.
How much do you pay to host your company’s data… such as your website, emails, databases, and files?
And most importantly: what would be the consequences if you lost them tomorrow morning?
Let me tell you the story of Jean, one of our clients
Jean meticulously manages his small service business. To save money, he had chosen a host for $4.99/month. One morning, his site was offline, not to mention his emails were inaccessible. He contacted the support of this low-cost host: no backup available, no solution. Within a few hours, Jean lost everything: his site and his communication history. He realized too late that his hosting, though critical for his business, was not up to par. This saving cost him dearly.
Web hosting: too often seen as a commodity
We always want to pay as little as possible for a product or service. At $1.95, $5.00, or even $10.00, your data should not be hosted like buying a liter of milk or bread.
However, this quick and economical choice has a downside:
- Shared environment without guarantee, often causing slowdowns,
- Potential outages,
- Lack of services and support,
- Unreliable or non-existent backups,
- No disaster recovery plan in case of failure.
These are the kinds of things that go unnoticed… until everything stops. Just ask Jean!
Mobile vs. Web Data: A Clear Imbalance
| Mobile Plan (avg. $50.00/month) | Web Hosting (often < $10.00/month) |
|---|---|
| For talking, texting, browsing | For selling, informing, operating |
| Quick and 24/7 support (611) | Minimal support, often overseas |
| Personal data | Client data, documents, emails |
| Mobile network for an individual | Critical infrastructure for your organization |
So why are most people willing to invest $50.00 and more per month for a phone plan and so little to provide their data with a reliable and efficient digital space? Why doesn’t your data deserve a plan worthy of your business?
Your DATA is strategic, not secondary
What you host is not “just” a website.
It is:
- your brand,
- your professional communications,
- your client records,
- your collaborative tools.
Losing access to all of this can cost you much more than a few tens of dollars per month.
When your web hosting service fails… your world crumbles
There is no room for an outage, an attack, or human error when it comes to your data.
Without reliable support or backup, it’s paralysis: no more emails, no more website, no more visibility to the world. You are invisible!
The true cost is not what you pay each month, but rather what you lose the day it stops working. Your DATA is worth gold.
So, what value do you place on your data?
Isn’t it time to review and realign your choices with what truly has value:
- Reliable hosting,
- Proactive monitoring,
- Smart backups,
- Redundancy and availability,
- Local and secure infrastructure.
What if you invested in resilience rather than a low price?
Your data is worth its weight in gold. Offer them a digital solution that comes with the protection they deserve.
