To celebrate the new season at WestHost, we recently held a party at Von’s Park in Providence, Utah.  This was actually held just five days after I started working here at WestHost.  In a sense, I was like some of our newer clients—trying to get better acquainted with WestHost and its employees. </p>
<p><span id="more-583"></span><br />
We started off the evening grilling hamburgers and hot dogs.  There’s nothing quite like hamburgers hot off the grill on a beautiful summer evening.  After socializing for a bit, we had some raffle drawings.  I was lucky enough to win a cooler filled with candy.  </p>
<p><center><img src="http://www.westhost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/MorganCooler.jpg" alt="" /></center></p>
<p>Morgan (one of our Systems Administrators) won the ultimate prize of having the water from the cooler dumped out on him.  Summer evenings in Cache Valley are about as nice as it gets.  Although I love the fall, I’ll sure miss some things about summer.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://www.westhost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/PartyPic2.jpg" alt="" /></center></p>
<p>The party was a great chance for us to relax a little bit and get to know each other better.  While we do communicate around the office, it’s often nice to be able to have a conversation with another employee without using the words “Web hosting” or “domain registration” in a sentence.</p>
<p>So long Summer. Till next year. </p>

<p>A few of us attended this years HostingCon in Washington DC. HostingCon is an annual event that gathers Web hosting professionals from around the world. During this three day convention, participants network with hosted services professionals to gain greater knowledge and learn of new resources within the industry that can help improve the services they offer their clients. It was an excellent convention and much was gained by our involvement. We were fortunate to have several representatives within UK2 Group attend this years event including staff from WestHost, Midphase, UK2.net and VPS.NET. </p>
<p>After the conference was completed, we were able to enjoy some of the sites around Washington DC. The monuments and museums within the National Mall are a powerful reminder of the sacrifices of many individuals throughout history who have helped to build and protect this great nation.</p>

We are proud to participate in many volunteer projects including our most recent highway cleanup project. Many WestHost employees have volunteered their time over the years for this and several other special projects. We would like to especially thank Adam Croshaw from our Sales team who recently organized and oversaw our efforts on this project making it a success. We feel fortunate to have so many employees who are willing to sacrifice their time and skills to give back to our community.</p>

<p>We have recently updated our world class Web hosting plans! Each new plan now includes our 100% Lifetime Satisfaction Promise, 60 day money back guarantee, and Premium U.S. based support. The updated plans also include new features, increased space, bandwidth and more. To check out our new plans, <a href="http://www.westhost.com/web-hosting/index.html">click here</a>.  </p>
<p>Since opening our doors in 1998, we have always placed a high degree of importance on providing excellent service. We have now taken our industry leading support to a new level by implementing our <a href="http://www.westhost.com/westhostpromise.html">100% Lifetime Satisfaction Promise</a>. We are committed to taking care of each client for the lifetime of their account. </p>
<p>We have also doubled our <a href="http://www.westhost.com/60day.html">money back guarantee</a> from 30 days to 60, something many hosting providers shy away from. We have an amazing team of dedicated employees who are committed to providing the absolute best service possible. They are long-standing employees who understand WestHost’s philosophy when it comes to client services. It is because of our team that I am willing to offer the guarantees and promises that continue to set us apart from our competition.</p>
<p>With operations based in Utah, we are fortunate to employ highly trained and highly skilled technicians who offer unmatched support. Before being hired our technicians go through a lengthy and rigorous interviewing process. They then go through several weeks of training and later receive scheduled reviews to improve the quality of their performance. It is no wonder why our support technicians are the best in the industry!</p>
