"Kiosk Who?" The Review by Zamri Nanyan

The spotlight of this review is on Kiosk Webhosting.

Before we go further, let us understand the fact thatWebhosting business is a very competitive business in the onlineworld since the last few years. The competition is getting muchmore tougher now since there are many more webhosting companiesgoing on board day by day and they are offering many morebenefits than ever before.

Kiosk is another webhosting company, founded in 1998. Thiscompany is privately owned by Therien's family and is based inOttawa, Canada. The president of Kiosk Webhosting is JoelTherien.

The objective of this review is to answer the question of "Whatmakes Kiosk different from other webhosting companies".

I believe this company is unique in a few ways that's worth tolook at. Let us analyze three of them.

1. Service and Pricing

Currently, Kiosk offer 3 packages - Bronze, Silver andPlatinum. They are priced at $5.95, $18.95 and $24.95 per monthrespectively.

In my opinion, these package plans are reasonably pricedconsidering that Kiosk own and maintain their own web servers.They are not a typical reseller company that a lot of otherwebhosting companies are operating.

However, if you are into Internet business and are planning touse databases and scripts, I wouldn't recommend the Bronzepackage. The least that you'd want to subscribe is the Silverpackage.

The Bronze package is a basic plan and it does not have MySQL.But, of course, if you don't plan to use MySQL database in theinitial development of your website, then the Bronze package isa nice entry level for you. You can upgrade to Silver orPlatinum package once the needs arise.

However, it would be nice to see if even the Bronze packagegets at least one MySQL database to be more competitively priced.

2. Company support

What I like the most about Kiosk is their "fanatical" technicalsupport (as they mentioned it on their website) and a wholedifferent approach in providing support to their clients ormembers.

Majority of webhosting companies have the 24-hour 7-days a-weeksupport, which you can reach by phone or chat online.

Kiosk also provide the all round-the-year support, but what'sso unique about them is that they have an almost daily web VOIPconference meetings where clients and members can login and talkto the company's president.

Having web conference meetings is not a big deal but being ableto talk to the company's president directly is something thatnot many companies are doing.

The VOIP web conference is a tool for the clients and membersto learn the company, the technical knowledge of running awebsite and marketing Kiosk for another additional stream ofincome.

MOreover, guests are also welcome to learn more about Kiosk andget any of their questions answered in the conference roombefore they make any decision whether Kiosk

is the rightsolutions for their online presence.

Guests can take a peek at Kiosk's activities by downloadingtheir free web conference software. A full instruction on how toget the free web conference software is here:

I will say that this feature is a very huge advantage toKiosk's members and those who want to learn Kiosk's business.

3. Cash benefits

Webhosting companies use many different approaches to get newclients and to retain existing members. Among the manyapproaches are such as offering free hosting, offering lowestprices possible and plugging in affiliate programs based on percustomer commissions.

Kiosk take a different approach and leverage the power of wordof mouth advertising, also known as multi level marketing, toreach more potential clients.

They are paying their members for each new customer they andtheir downline refer to Kiosk. Under certain conditions, theirmembers can also get paid when their upline refer new customersto Kiosk. To most Kiosk customers, it's a whole new marketingconcept for a webhosting company. They get to host theirwebsites with Kiosk and get paid for referring new customers.

The drawback (or advantage) of this marketing approach is thatKiosk can be looked at as an "income opportunity" company ratherthan a webhosting company.

In my opinion, this marketing approach can be a strong benefitto Kiosk and is something other companies can consider applying.In fact, there's a rather new company, website.ws, adoptingmulti level marketing concept for their business too.

On top of attracting customers who want to subscribe towebhosting service, through their marketing plan, Kiosk are alsoattracting individuals who are looking for a way to build anonline income.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Kiosk have made a few distinctions amonghundreds, if not thousands, of other webhosting companies on theInternet.

If you have a tight budget, but want to start building a simplewebsite for your business and your online presence, I'drecommend Kiosk for a start. As web conference meetings areavailable almost every day, it is a very good idea to join oneof the meetings, ask questions and compare with other companies.

Kiosk is also a family business and if you attend one of theirconference meetings, you could feel the warmth, like you belongto the Therien's family.

I give Kiosk 7 out of 10 rating for their overall performance.

Bear in mind that this short review covers only a small portionof what Kiosk is all about. It is worth for you to check out thecompany yourself.
