Mission Statement -

To provide our valued clients with the very best hosting experience available through unparalleled customer care, delivering affordable services, real honesty and integrity, with cutting edge state of the art technology.

The need....

MOR Designs was established by John Bates in February 1996. He saw a need for a hosting provider that gave Small Businesses focused access to very affordable high quality web hosting, packed with excellent features.

The affordability....

Basically MOR Designs was built from the ground up as if John were the client and with what he would be expecting in a web hosting provider. The hosting plans needed to be very affordable and full of useful features, usually only found in more expensive plans.

The experience....

With nearly ten years of experience running a successful hosting business, you can be assured that John has determined the most cost effective method for offering you, his customers, the absolute best and trouble free hosting environment available. Your domains are hosted on state of the art servers in one of the world's best datacenters in the USA. This combination of high quality servers, excellent datacenter connectivity, and years of hosting experience, gives your site's the edge.

The technology....

Our connections to multiple backbone providers, and peering with many carriers on a regional and international basis, allows us to easily reach remote networks even in the case where a NAP may be unhealthy, or when a specific backbone connection is down. It also allows us to make intelligent routing decisions; for example, if we are trying to reach a remote network which is on the Sprint network, there's no reason to send it out to UUNET first. By placing our core nodes at places like Equinix and Telehouse, we are guaranteed a level of competent service. All of our core nodes employ SONET networks, which essentially provides a dual-redundant, counter-rotating ring technology, and in the event of a fiber cut, the SONET will automatically heal itself. We also divide our circuits among several telecommunications providers, such as Verizon, MFS/Worldcom, and Adelphia.

Honesty and integrity....

Another aspect of MOR Designs was that it had to be built around honesty and integrity. There's way too much sugar-coating and straight out deceitfulness on the internet these days. John believes that honesty is the best policy.
