  • - A CMS provider well versed in those kinds of disasters and how to handle them
  • - One that could sell hosting but instead makes their system work on as many hosts as possible
  • - One that supports cheap mainstream hosting like Amazon and GoDaddy
  • - One that supports adult VPS hosts, dedicated servers and easily integrates with CDNs
  • - A CMS vendor who listens to client input and will code new features for free based on feedback
  • - A CMS with a large enough deployment that every popular adult host is familiar with it and its requirements and can fix it quickly if anything goes wrong
  • - A CMS provider willing to lose money in order to protect its customers and/or save them money
  • - A company that never raises its prices and gives its customers more for the same price and has done so every year for 10 years at a consistent pace
  • - A company that introduces beneficial tools and makes use of new trends
  • - One with a solid record of succesful clients ranging from tiny startups and solo models to the largest brands in the business
These are just some of the reasons people continue to choose Elevated X a decade after we created it.

It's all about what someone values, not a list of features. Most features mean dick, in all honesty. Elevated X is big enough that if any features another CMS vendor lists as a way of attacking us truly matter to our customers, we add them.

that's a great list

we hit all those except:

- "Being able to get a live, US based, college educated professional out of bed at 3am on a Saturday if your site is hacked" - i'm never in bed at 3am and i work every weekend. we have people all over the world, not just in the US ;)

- "supports cheap mainstream hosting like Amazon and GoDaddy" - that's not actually a good thing.

- "A company that never raises its prices" - you never lower them either.

*edited*

you're a great salesman tho. i'll give u that..
