Privately owned Datagram Inc is one of the senior citizens in hosting, being founded in 1995. The current CEO is Alex Reppen, and is headquartered in New York.
Company and Services
Unlike most other web hosting companies, Datagram offers a completely bespoke dedicated server or VPS web hosting solution for businesses; you tell them what you want and they promise to come up with a solution that will meet your needs.
Options include Linux, Windows or OSX hosting and dedicated servers come in four different sizes. These vary from the Basic Web Hosting Server 100 with 1GM of memory up to the Advance Web Hosting Server 400 with 4GB of memory.
There are also two VPS options which vary in disk space and bandwidth (and price). Features include dedicated load balancing, local and remote storage and back up, as well as the more standard email accounts and video streaming.
Datagram also offers short-term packages for special events/promotion or as scalable backup to handle busy periods. Technical support is available by email ticketing 24/7 x 365 or you can call (local toll) for more urgent matters.
The company also offers co-location and re-selling options to other companies looking to enter the web hosting marketplace.
Datagram boasts an impressive client list including the Huffington Post, Activision, Ford Models and AIGA.
The company has recently donated hosting services and access to the internet to a charity which is dedicated to bringing safe, clean water to developing countries.
Server Location
Servers are housed in one of Datagram’s five secure data centers which are spread across New York City.
