Hosting-AU has been a busy place over the past 3 months - we have had a change in office location, changed our business name and branding, and successfully merged with a NZ based hosting business!
We originally planned to refresh the company image in another 2-3 years, as deep down we came to realise that Hosting-AU would get lost in the masses of websites and businesses in the same industry... Hosting and AU were search terms completely saturated, and to get exposure at the top of search engines for our company name, would have taken many years and many dollars spent on Search Engine Optimisation. We have experienced an amazing amount of growth since 2008, and the time to breathe some life into our branding was due sooner rather than later - and so Bark Host Pty Ltd was conceived.
What Has Changed?
Essentially not much at all. Hosting-AU is now called Bark Host, we have some neat new logos, and are really happy with what we can now provide our clients. Behind the scenes we still maintain an excellent response time to support enquiries, and things like the phone number remain the same. We do have a new website address, which the old support site will re-direct to: http://www.barkhost.com
New Client Area
The client area (where you manage your hosting services and domain names) has been completely upgraded to improve usability. Previously, we openly admit, doing something like changing your cPanel password or upgrading the hosting plan was not as easy as it should have been. Issues like this, and many more, have been addressed and rectified to provide a better experience for our users: https://www.barkhost.com/clientarea.php
Server Locations
Bark Host can now offer hosting services in more parts of the world, with servers in New Zealand and the USA (more coming in 2012). Pricing and data/bandwidth limits are different depending on the location, so if server location is not critical to your website/business, you could be getting more value out of your dollar. More pricing details and plans can be found here: https://www.barkhost.com/cart.php
So there you have it, a quick rundown of what we have been working on - if you have any questions or feedback (which we always welcome, good or bad) please let us know by email: support@barkhost.com
