By Steve Published: May 13, 2008 Updated: May 13, 2008As im sure most of you know we changed our company name not to long back.
Since then we have been trying to find a new logo design and a new slogan and im proud to say we have just found it. This is Raphie, inspired by one of my favorite movies growing up "A Christmas Story". As you can see Ralphie doesnt have a care in the world, he sure doesn't need to worry about his website because we are taking care of that which leads us to our new slogan!
Relax! Your being SERVed by the pros! This is our new slogan because we feel its what most people want in a host and we even pride ourselves on having low support requests. Our clients dont need support ofton but when they do we provide fast, responsive answers for them. So like i said, relax!
We welcome any feedback on our new logo/slogan.

By Steve Published: May 4, 2008As a customer of ours what features are YOU looking for?
We just added a new sitebuilder to all our packages that we think is just great. Now anyone can login to their hosting account and start building their own website! The question here is what else do you need? What do you look for in a hosting company and what would make you choose us as your new host?
We really are looking for your feedback on these issues as we want to be a company that listens and we do, we are more then willing to add a feature that you want but dont currently have.
Please let us know!

By Steve Published: April 13, 2008 Hello,
We wanted to make this announcment and let you know that Rapid Hosting
is now known as SERVBoston. Its important that you know that is a
simple name change and does not mean we sold to a new company or
anything like that. We are exactly the same we just changed our
branding.
The reason for such a change was due to our domain, when we first
started out back in 2003 we came up with the Rapid Hosting name and
stuck with it. We created our design our logo and much more and when
the time came to purchase our domain name, OH NO! The domain we wanted
was not available and we did all we could do to try to buy the domain
off the person who owned it (but didnt use it) but to no avail. We came
up with many different options such as www.rapidwebhosting.com but
since the company name was Rapid Hosting we didnt see people adding the
"web" part on their own thus resulting in our site not coming up when
the searched it. In the end we went with rapid-hosting.org which really
didnt help much either because why would a customer ass the "-" on
their own either?
The name worked great and fit us well but after years we have decided
it just wont work anymore, we need a name and a domain that match up
thus after long searches and trial and error we came up with the
company name of SERVBoston and the name www.servboston.com. Boston
because its out major city and serv because not only do we serve you
but because your site runs on our "servers".
Rapid Hosting will still be forwarded to us so there is no need to
change your nameservers and any bookmarks/links/urls you have will
still work just fine.
We hope you like the new name and we look forward to your feedback!
-Steve

By Steve Published: April 11, 2008 Updated: April 11, 2008Well here it is, the Rapid Hosting blog.
To be honest i really dont know how much this will be updated, i do agree its a personal touch we are all to busy doing what we have to do to keep the service running smooth which includes answering tickets, phone calls, live chat and posting on the forum.
How our blog is going to fit into all this im not yet sure. However keep checking back we will try to get over here as ofton as we can.

By Steve Published: April 9, 2008 Updated: April 9, 2008Having another host copy us for the most part is flattering. However we want to make sure that you (the customer) knows not only who the original is but that we have nothing to do with these other sites.
Below your going to find to screenshots, one is of our site and one is of another site we came across and we put a red square around the paragraphs that were identical.
So what do you think? Pretty much copy and pasted our text from our site and put it on theirs. Like i said before the fact that they want to copy us is flattering but not if it affects our user base.
Remeber there is only 1 Rapid Hosting!
