About tummy.com's Hosting

tummy.com, ltd. has been offering hosting services since 1999. This grew out of facilities we had been providing since 1996 for our own internal use, and facilities we were donating to many local Users Groups since 1997.

Customers, familiar with our ability to provide value to them, were consistently asking about affordable, quality hosting options. We realized that we had resources, both in facilities and in networking and system administration arenas which would allow us to meet their needs at roughly half the industry-standard pricing or less...

Our hosting business has grown over the years primarily by word of mouth. Our satisfied customers have repeatedly recommended us to our new customers. Because of this we have been able to grow our hosting business at a reasonable rate, which is largely what allowed us to survive the "dot-com bust" years

Sustainable growth provides our clients the ability to rely on us continuing to be available for them down the road. As so many ISPs, both small and large, have financial difficulties, we've been able to provide our clients with reliable, untroubling service.

Commitment to Our Customers

We commit to providing quality service and support to our customers.

This simple statement carries a lot of embedded meaning... While many people talk about how they have big network pipes, that means nothing if they're over-committed without plans for increasing capacity BEFORE it's needed.

We are constantly monitoring our systems and networks to ensure that we have appropriate available bandwidth to meet current needs. Through contracts with our suppliers, we have the ability to quickly grow our bandwidth. Regular monitoring and analysis allows us to plan ahead for future growth.
