JaguarPC, a leading provider of end-to-end web hosting solutions for over a decade, today announced the launch of its new comprehensive rewards program for JaguarPC customers to earn points towards rewards such as service credit, free hosting, upgrades and more.

“JagRewards” consists of a points-based client loyalty rewards program with various points for different actions. No expiration dates on JagRewards points means customers can redeem points for a variety of benefits including free product and service upgrades.

One of the most attractive features of JagRewards is the retroactive application of points for existing customers, which rewards long-time loyal customers of JaguarPC. The retroactive feature is automatically applied to all JaguarPC clients. Long-time customers of JaguarPC will be pleasantly surprised to find pre-populated balances in their rewards account based on the bills paid and time with JaguarPC through the years.

JagRewards awards points based on criteria such as length of time with JaguarPC, services and plans purchased, payment history and referring new customers. Some sample reward points include:

-2,500 points for signing up with JagRewards -2,500 for each referral
-1 point for each dollar spent
-250 points for each month you do not require support -50 points per month as an active client

Points can be redeemed for extra services and features on their accounts or credits for outstanding bills. Some examples include service credit, free hosting and hosting upgrades.

“JagRewards is all about thanking our loyal customers and having fun while doing it,” says Greg Landis, president of JaguarPC. “It’s an opportunity for users of JaguarPC to experience the solid reliability and dedicated service we offer while making and saving money at the same time. It’s a win-win situation, and we’ll be looking to constantly evolve the program based on feedback we receive.”

JaguarPC is now using Twitter. You can see JaguarPC on twitter here: http://twitter.com/jaguarpc

If you don’t know what Twitter is, you aren’t using the internet enough. From the Twitter Support page:

What is it?

Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

How do I use it?

Tell us what you’re doing in 140 characters or less! Send your thoughts, observations, and goings-on in your day. Whether you’re “eating an apple” or “looking forward to the weekend” or “Heading out of town” it’s twitter-worthy.

Do I need anything special to use Twitter?
In order to use Twitter you will need one of these things: an internet connection or a mobile phone.

How can I send updates to Twitter?
Send updates to friends and family about what you’re doing in the way that works best for you. Update in myriad ways:

• from your phone


• from your logged-in home page


• from m.twitter.com.


• from any of the third party applications on Twitter Fan Wiki, made by the talented folks who’ve utilized our API.

There’s more on the support page but you get the idea. I’ve personally been using twitter for several months and it’s quite addicting.

Do you Twitter?

So its no mystery that we have a great community here. And Ive never hid behind anything or shy away from public postings, even ones not in this forum. This can have some great benfits, I get to know some people on a personal level, of course the branding benefit, and people can put a name or personality to the company.

Unfortunately it isnt without its ugly side either. Our reputation among clients and the internet at large is nothing short of stellar <—I love to use, and over use that term! In a certain public forum, cough w, cough ht , cough, we have been eating quantities of crud in the last mont or so. The really unfortunate issue with this is that it all stems from just 2-3 users which are double back posting on each others threads, followed by heaps of competitors thread bumping while posting what they are construing as helpful post, and paid forum posters (yes this is a web service) of seemingly anonymous posters that back, recommend, or further create false and further damaging messages on these threads. The end result, 2 straight months of thread bumpings and to the public the appearance that we are some evil bad company. It also makes the less educated think, on no, this is the end of that host , better jump ship.

These host jumpers are not going to ever stick with one host and are of little concern. Its the educated long term clients that end up suffering when this happens. The degrading and deplorable acts of other hosts and clients that beleive support is done by 3rd party public forums is really a sickness to the hosting industry. Like all large muscle bound hosts we easily over come these negative acts and rarely if ever even notice a decline in sales for them. But what they do is affect our staff, morale, and that sirs does nothing for anyone on the web. Its all too easy these days to think that you can hide behind your monitor and type what you want. Has the world forgot that there are human beings that are meant to read your comments? Its my wish that one day the gutter of the internet becomes a little more civilized and online merchants get at least the same respect you would show to a clerk working at your local best buy.

Ever had difficulty actually getting started with your site ? I’ve found lately and in the past that many new designers and developers know the services they want to provide and even catch phrases to draw in customers. A name can make or break a hosting or development page. The best way to decide on a domain name is to try to figure out what message you are wanting to convey to people and combine a couple of short words together that are easy to remember that convey this message. An few excellent sites to give you some ideas are as follows: http://www.nameboy.com , http://www.domainfellow.com , http://www.makewords.com , http://www.domain-generator.net/domain-combination.html
