Choosing the right hosting solution is essential when running a website or web application. Traditional shared hosting can work well for small sites with low traffic, but as your site grows and as you add more functionality to your site, you may need to consider upgrading your hosting service.
Everleap’s Fully-Managed Hosting is a great option that offers improved performance, better security, and expert support, making it an ideal solution for mission-critical sites.
So, when is it time to make the switch to a Managed Hosting service? Here are five signs that it may be time to consider an upgrade:
We often get questions regarding the differences between our Everleap Managed Hosting solutions and hosting at Microsoft Azure. So I thought I’d address this question here.
Let me say first that Microsoft Azure is a powerful public cloud platform. It is built for developers and can run virtually anything. Microsoft is continuously adding more functionality to address very niche technological use cases. Everything you can do on our Everleap platform, you can do on Azure. So, it is natural for anyone to ask then, compared to the Azure behemoth, why does Everleap even try to compete?
It’s a good question and the answer is that we are not really trying to compete with Azure on hosting technologies. We know that Azure will always have a deeper technology stack and a much bigger footprint than we will ever have. While our hosting functionality can overlap with Azure, Everleap fills a different need in the market. We focus on delivering services to small- and medium-sized businesses. We are not trying to be all things for all use cases. Plainly speaking, sometimes you may need the many tools of a Swiss army knife and other times you just need a good pair of scissors.
In 2003, we started traditional Shared Hosting at DiscountASP.NET, and we learned a lot. We saw that there came a time when customers needed to upgrade their site to a server with more resources. So when we first designed Everleap, we thought of the different situations our customers would encounter in their hosting journey. People needed a modern web hosting service that could quickly grow with their sites and one with practically no downtime. So we designed our Everleap Shared Cloud Hosting solution with the ability to expand from our basic Shared cloud hosting service to our private Reserved Server instantly with little to no downtime.
But now, what happens to those customers who require something more than our Shared Cloud Hosting platform?
In a nutshell, Everleap’s Managed Hosting Solutions are our white glove, customized, private cloud hosting service for mission-critical sites. It was designed specifically for organizations that require near-zero downtime – websites that are so important that it would literally put a halt to their business if their site did go down. We understand the importance of the requirements of mission-critical websites and the need for a hosting provider that can fully support them and an easily expandable hosting system that can grow with their business. Our Managed Hosting Services support the needs of mission-critical sites.
Microsoft just released ASP.NET Core 6.0 on November 9, 2021. This is a major release, and the key takeaway is that there is a lot of performance improvements to help make your apps faster and new coding syntax to hopefully make your coding life easier. A complete list of changes can be found here.

When 2020 began, we were excited about the prospects the new year could bring. But those feelings were crushed with news of a mysterious rapidly spreading disease and finally hearing the that this was a full-blown pandemic.
Once the pandemic declaration was made, lockdown orders soon followed, and we quickly took action to have all our staff work remotely. Of course, we had our hiccups, but since we were already set up with the ability for our system admin staff to work remotely (prior to the pandemic), we were able to transition all our staff quickly.
We knew it was important for us to be able to maintain our hosting infrastructure and our customer support, as our customers would increasingly rely on their online presence to help get them through this new reality. We also thought that we may see many businesses, developers and entrepreneurs pivot their businesses or launch new lines of online ventures and new projects.
I’m extremely proud that our team has been able to deliver on our hosting promises even during a tough 2020.
Highlights from 2020
In the past, at the end of most years, I posted lists of things that we accomplished. In this post, I just want to highlight a few things we did in 2020.
Security Solutions
Due to increased reliance on online technologies during the pandemic and with many working from home and most using their own hardware, we thought it was important to focus on security.
Technology Enhancements
Onward to 2021
As we put 2020 behind us and begin a new decade, we continue to be hopeful and we will continue to strive to offer our customers solid hosting solutions that they can count on.
We want to thank all our customers for your business and we wish all of you a happy new year. Stay safe and healthy.

Everleap successfully renewed our Microsoft Silver Partner status for 2020-2021 – this time with 2 Competencies: Silver Datacenter Solutions competency and the Silver Cloud Hosting Platform Hosting competency.
I’m sure you have been keeping informed about COVID-19 and all the precautions being taken across the world. We are no different, and as such we had to make adjustments like many of you.
Last week on March 12th, the day after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, we asked our staff to start working from home to keep everyone here at Everleap safe and healthy. We always had the flexibility and the systems set up to work remotely, but this will be the first time all of our staff will be doing so.
Yesterday, California has instituted a “stay at home” order which means for the foreseeable future our staff will be working from their homes.
Even though our staff could be working in their pajamas, the level of service you expect from us will not change.
If you have concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Stay safe and stay healthy.
