Question 1

How can you guarantee 10-50% cost savings over competitors like Pantheon and WP Engine?

Accepted Answer

Our cost advantage comes from Kubernetes expertise and containerization efficiency. By standardizing and automating our infrastructure through containers, we eliminate much of the manual overhead that competitors require. This technical efficiency translates directly into cost savings for our clients - we can deliver the same enterprise-grade performance and reliability at a fraction of the cost of traditional hosting methods used by Pantheon, WP Engine, and other premium providers. [Learn the technical details of how Kubernetes creates these savings](/kubernetes-hosting-advantage).

Question 2

Why don't you publish pricing on your website?

Accepted Answer

Enterprise hosting requirements vary significantly based on traffic, compliance needs, integrations, and custom features. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all pricing that doesn't reflect your actual needs, we provide custom quotes that ensure you pay only for what you require. This approach typically results in 10-50% savings compared to competitors' published rates while delivering superior features.

Question 3

What's included in your hosting that competitors charge extra for?

Accepted Answer

We include tertiary breakglass sites, custom WAF setup and management, full development team support, multi-cloud architecture, and advanced security compliance (SOC2 + ISO 27001 + NIST 800-53) as standard features. Competitors like Pantheon and WP Engine typically charge premium rates for these enterprise features as add-ons, if they offer them at all. [See detailed feature comparisons with Pantheon](/hosting-vs-pantheon) and [WP Engine](/hosting-vs-wpengine).

Question 4

How do I calculate potential savings when switching from my current provider?

Accepted Answer

Contact us with your current hosting costs and requirements. We'll provide a detailed comparison showing: your current total costs (hosting + add-ons + external services), our equivalent service pricing, exact savings amount and percentage, and additional features you'll gain. Most clients save 25-50% while getting superior features and integrated development support.

Question 5

What makes your multi-cloud architecture superior to single-cloud competitors?

Accepted Answer

Unlike competitors locked to single cloud providers (Kinsta=GCP only, others primarily AWS), our true multi-cloud deployment across AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and Digital Ocean provides superior redundancy and flexibility. If one cloud provider experiences issues, your applications continue running on others. This architecture also prevents vendor lock-in and allows us to optimize costs by leveraging the best pricing from each provider.

Question 6

What are tertiary breakglass sites and why do they matter?

Accepted Answer

Tertiary breakglass sites are emergency failover locations that activate when both primary and secondary systems experience issues. While competitors offer limited disaster recovery (often as premium add-ons), ALL Fruition hosting clients get tertiary breakglass sites included. This means your critical applications have three layers of protection, ensuring maximum uptime even during major infrastructure incidents.

Question 7

How does multi-cloud deployment affect performance?

Accepted Answer

Multi-cloud architecture improves performance by allowing us to serve content from the optimal cloud provider based on user location, current load, and provider performance. We can also shift traffic away from providers experiencing issues without affecting users. This geographic and provider optimization typically results in 20-40% faster response times compared to single-cloud competitors.

Question 8

Is multi-cloud more complex to manage than single-cloud hosting?

Accepted Answer

For clients, multi-cloud is actually simpler because our Kubernetes orchestration handles all the complexity automatically. You get a single management interface and consistent experience across all cloud providers. Our team manages the multi-cloud complexity behind the scenes, providing you with superior reliability and performance without additional management burden.

Question 9

How does Kubernetes containerization create cost savings?

Accepted Answer

Kubernetes eliminates the resource waste inherent in traditional hosting. Instead of dedicating entire servers to applications (with 40-60% unused capacity), containers use only the resources they need. Automatic scaling means you pay for resources only when actively used, not maintaining excess capacity 24/7. This precision resource management delivers 25-50% cost reductions while improving performance.

Question 10

Does Kubernetes hosting sacrifice performance for cost savings?

Accepted Answer

No - Kubernetes actually improves performance while reducing costs. Containerized applications start faster, scale more efficiently, and self-heal automatically. Our clients typically see 30-50% performance improvements compared to traditional hosting, plus the cost savings. The efficiency gains from proper containerization create a win-win: better performance AND lower costs.

Question 11

Can existing applications be containerized for cost savings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most applications can be containerized to take advantage of Kubernetes cost efficiencies. Our development team specializes in application containerization and migration. The process typically involves analyzing your current applications, creating container images, configuring Kubernetes deployments, and migrating with zero downtime. Most clients see cost savings within 30-60 days of migration.

Question 12

What happens if there's a problem with a container?

Accepted Answer

Kubernetes provides automatic self-healing through health checks and automatic restart policies. If a container fails, Kubernetes immediately starts a replacement. If a node fails, containers automatically migrate to healthy nodes. This automation eliminates expensive emergency support calls and reduces downtime costs - another source of our cost advantage over traditional hosting.

Question 13

What compliance certifications do you maintain for regulated industries?

Accepted Answer

We maintain SOC2 Type II, ISO 27001, and NIST 800-53 certifications - a comprehensive security framework that exceeds most competitors' basic SOC2 compliance. We specialize in regulated industries including healthcare (HIPAA-ready), government (military-grade security), and financial institutions. Our compliance expertise and certifications are built into our hosting infrastructure, not add-on services.

Question 14

How do you handle advanced security requirements like custom WAF setup?

Accepted Answer

Custom Web Application Firewall (WAF) setup and management is included in our hosting services, while competitors typically offer basic security features with limited customization. Our security team configures WAFs specifically for your applications, threat landscape, and compliance requirements. We continuously monitor and adjust these configurations as threats evolve, providing enterprise-grade security management.

Question 15

How do you ensure security with containerized applications?

Accepted Answer

Kubernetes provides enhanced security through container isolation, network policies, and automated security scanning. Our implementation includes SOC2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance, with containers running in isolated namespaces, encrypted communications, and regular security updates. Containerization actually improves security by isolating applications and enabling faster security patching.

Question 16

What makes your security approach different from competitors?

Accepted Answer

While competitors offer standard security features, we provide military-grade security through NIST 800-53 compliance and specialized expertise in regulated industries.
