"Working with phoenixNAP has been an amazing journey! We have learned and grown together and made an excellent product to offer to our customers, and a great support net for them too. We’ve built an entire business from just an idea, based on great communication, a stable technology environment, and quick-to-market solution. I can freely say that we wouldn’t have made it this far if it hadn’t been for phoenixNAP and their support and guidance."

Anthony B., Owner and Founder, Sneaker Server

“phoenixNAP was really the right choice for location, security, amenities and all-around nice people to work with. It’s really centrally located and that was a big plus for us. The whole phoenixNAP crew is top notch and they really catered to meeting our current needs and also allow us the ability to expand in the future.”

Marc Chesley, VP of Development and Technology, Infusionsoft

“phoenixNAP is a great fit for us. Their data center is not only top-notch and clean, but the security procedures implemented ensure your equipment is safe also. We have a colocation with them and being able to also lease servers on a monthly basis allows us to have minimal equipment of our own unused – we just lease a server for quick uptime, order a new server for our colocation, then add the server at our convenience. Best of both worlds at great prices!”
