Mission Statement
To provide our valued clients with the very best hosting experience
available through unparalleled customer care, delivering affordable
services, real honesty and integrity, cutting edge state of the
art technology with very personal and vibrant support.
Information
In 1997 Kmet Developing was established by Wassim Metallaoui as
a software development group. We became fed up with the lack of
support and the requirement of purchasing a new hosting account
per client. Tired of our hosting providers we formed Kmet Hosting
in 2001. For two years our servers were used to host only our
development clients; in 2003, after plenty of experience in the
field, we opened our doors to the public.
Affordability
Basically Kmet Hosting was built as if we were the client and
what would be the things that we would be searching for and requiring.
We needed to save money with our hosting expenses. This was the
first priority for the Kmet Hosting business model. Hence we offer
hosting plans that start at just $5.95 a month.
Our hosting plans also allow true Multiple Domain Hosting by giving
our clients the freedom to host as many domains as they like inside
predetermined Disk Space and Data Transfer limits.
Personal Client Support
Service is what people scream for and demand these days. Too many
hosts ignore this critical aspect to the business and clients
feel let down. We don't treat our clients like numbers. We treat
them like friends. Personal care and quality service is at the
very heart of Kmet Hosting. Our current clients testify to this
personal service and care.
Technology
NAC's connections to multiple backbone providers, and peering
with many carriers on a regional and international basis, allows
them to easily reach remote networks even in the case where a
NAP may be unhealthy, or when a specific backbone connection is
down. It also allows NAC to make intelligent routing decisions;
for example, if they are trying to reach a remote network which
is on the Sprint network, there's no reason to send it out to
UUNET first.
By placing their core nodes at places like Equinix and Telehouse,
we are guaranteed a level of competent service. All of NAC's core
nodes employ SONET networks, which essentially provides a dual-redundant,
counter-rotating ring technology, and in the event of a fiber
cut, the SONET will automatically heal itself. NAC also divide
our circuits among several telecommunications providers, such
as Verizon, MFS/Worldcom, and Adelphia.
100% Honesty and Integrity
Another aspect of Kmet Hosting was that it had to be built around
100% honesty and integrity. There's way too much sugar-coating
and straight out deceitfulness on the internet these days. We
believe that honesty is the best policy. Most hosts will also
claim that they run their own datacenter. We would say that 99.5%
of web hosts do not own the datacenter that their servers are
housed in. We lease equipment inside the NAC datacenter and do
not own the datacenter. It would be nice if the hosting industry
worldwide was as honest in this respect.
Stability
Kmet Hosting is a 100% debt free hosting company. We never incur
debt. We always pay upfront for services pertaining to our business.
Our business is also cashflow positive and profitable. Those 3
factors - "debt free", "cashflow positive" and "profitable" lay
the foundation to build a very strong business that will be around
for a very long time. Web Hosting providers that are debt free,
cashflow positive and profitable are very far and few between
these days.
In fact we are one of the few hosting providers that could actually
stop the intake of all new clients now and still survive with
our current positive cashflow. Most hosting providers need the
new growth so they can keep their negative cashflow running. You
can breath easy knowing that Kmet Hosting is a solid, stable business
and your sites are in excellent hands. Our many satisfied clients
and many hosted domains, will testify to this.
