Papugai does not advertise its hosting services to the general public. We maintain world-class commercial hosting capabilities in house at rates that are far less than national averages. Papugai hosting is based exclusively on Microsoft .NET Framework. If changes or fixes are ever needed on a moment’s notice, there is no problem, no third-party logins and no delay because your website will reside on one of Papugai’s powerful .NET-powered e-commerce servers.

Papugai's world-class, dedicated hosting services are offered exclusively to our clients. Reliability and performance measures are our top priorities for this top-level service. Website and e-commerce hosting is one of the most misunderstood services in our industry. With large host farms offering $20 shared hosting plans, and with Yahoo (and similar mass-market companies) indifferently suggesting to hobby businesses (and sometimes others) that these cheap, consumer-grade solutions are okay for serious business, it's no wonder why people are confused. It is sort of like saying ... AOL is a serious business ISP,  or Kinkos is a master print maker producing limited-editions for the fine-art world. There is nothing wrong with AOL or Kinkos, but neither would be taken seriously for such top-shelf, mission-critical solutions. Papugai hosting is a unique and powerful concept. Our business model is exactly the opposite of a typical “hosting” company that needs to sell as many services as possible per server in order to be profitable. Papugai maintains all the top-level equipment, servers, back up solutions, and redundancies for power, data, and bandwidth, the same as any top-rated hosting firm. But our focus is much narrower and we are far more responsive than any of them. Why? Because Papugai does not host for the general public. We host exclusively for clients who have partnered with Papugai for website design and development projects. In great contrast to this impossible hosting-firm model, Papugai hosting is not a profit center in our business model. We take the opposite approach of our hosting-firm counterparts because we apply as many server resources and as much bandwidth per client as possible. You see, unlike a typical hosting company, Papugai has a vested interest in the success of our clients' websites, so instead of minimizing resources per website to squeeze profits out of our clients, we maximize them because Papugai-built websites must always perform at their optimal level — every millisecond of every day.
