The Dotable brand was founded by myself, Aussie Bob in April 2004, following the sale of my previous hosting company for an undisclosed 6 figure sum. Dotable commenced trading as a hosting company in April 2005.


Aussie Bob (left) focuses on sales, billing, technical support and general business management. My focus is on the Dotable brand, and the vision of building that brand with a reputation for a first class customer experience.

Steve (pictured right) is head of systems administration, technical support, and product development. Steve brings his incredible talent, accross multiple hosting platforms to Dotable's table. Together we make an unbeatable team, with more than a decade of combined hosting experience between us, hosting tens of thousands of domains.

Both Steve and myself are 38 yrs of age. Steve is married with 2 children (beginner ) and I have been married for 13 years, and have 6 children. With so many teenagers flooding the hosting market, passing themselves off as web hosts, you can be assurred that you're dealing with mature and seasoned hosting professionals.

Between us we have more than a decade of hosting experience, through hosting tens of thousands of domains. Both of us have built successful hosting brands in the past, and succeeded in a competitive and high stress industry. We passionately combine our collective talent, knowledge and experience, into Dotable. Our passion is not measured in revenue, but customer satisfaction. These sound like lofty words, but this is what drives us onwards. It is that passion to create a truly great hosting brand, renowned for customer service and excellence.

• Dotable's no hype approach -

No hype, no glossy marketing babble! You've probably noticed that Dotable's website is different to other hosts. Firstly, we're a forum, a community. I pioneered this platform, and was the first host to use such a platform as the main site. There's no flashy in your face graphics and no cleverly conceived deceptive ad copy. Steve and myself are real hosting professionals - yes, prick us and we will bleed! One Dotable client summed it up like this - "The Dotable site seemed an island of normality in a sea of pimps and pirates."

• Dotable's growth strategy -

Dotable's growth has been organic, driven mainly through word of mouth from our customers. We spend very little on marketing and our philosophy is to provide the highest levels of service to our current customers, and this will drive new growth. We tend not to focus on sales, but new sales are a natural result of very satisfied customers.

• Honesty and integrity -

Honesty, integrity, vision and good old fashioned hard work are the cornerstones for Dotable. The hosting industry is full of corruption, with shady unethical operators and kids, hiding behind the anonimity of the net. To achieve success through honesty and integrity is an achievement. To look back over your success, and know that you achieved that success through determination, honest hard work and at the same time you earned the respect of your peers, is a great feeling, and extremely rewarding. Sure, there might be one or two competitors out there whose feathers were ruffled, but that's the nature of business.

• Dotable are not resellers -

While most hosts are resellers, or lease their servers from other hosts, we own all our equipment, from servers to switches etc. They are all securely housed in the Dotable locking cabinet, in the Carrier Central colocation facility in LA. Owning our own equipment gives us more control, as we are not at the mercy of a server supplier. We control our own servers, and this means Dotable clients receive superior quality, reliability and performance.

• Flexible billing solutions -

Our backend systems are customer friendly, while at the same being robust and scalable. Our billing system is also very customer friendly. We offer the flexibility of different payment options, such as credit card, PayPal, cheque, money order or Western Union wire transfer. We also offer a choice of payment terms, from monthly, 3 monthly (2.5% discount), 6 monthly (5% discount) and 12 monthly (10% discount) terms.
