MicroISV company recommendations

Posted on: 12-31-2007 With: 2 Comments Posted by: Bob Walsh

Ian Landsman recently posted about five companies he recommends to other microISVs:

1. MakaluMedia
2. BitRock
3. Engine Hosting
4. FreshView
5. EllisLab

(For the whys and wherefores, see Ian’s post.)

In the same spirt, here’s the top two companies I recommend to microISVs:

1. Godaddy.com – I recommend them for three simple reasons: service, service and more service. Each and every time I’ve had a technical question the person at the other end of the phone line has be knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. And, if you’re wondering how a company competing in a global market selling exactly the same thing as everyone else can succeed, godaddy.com is the answer.
2. MakaluMedia – As Ian and others have said, Mike Rohde is a great design professional who really understands what it’s like to be a microISV. If you want really good product or business logo for your microISV, he’s the goto guy.

Who do you recommend?
