It’s getting ridiculous, lately. I just saw a press release from another company I had never heard of selling a GPS Tracking solution for vehicles. They even misspelled their website in the press release!!! (by the way we have the exact same 30 day money back guarantee and the exact same month-to-month contract type as they mention)
Don't buy from a brand new, start-up GPS tracking company!
They have only had a website since June 2009! We have servers which have been running without being rebooted upwards of 5 times longer than they’ve even been in existence!
Several GPS Insight servers online without reboots for over 2 years!
Here’s how to tell if a company has been around for a while before you go with them:
Look up their web address using “whois” by visiting www.whois.sc/theirdomainname.com such as I did here:
Avoid Startup GPS Tracking companies
You can see they were created just a few months ago on 6/1/2009. Then you can “nslookup theirdomain.com” and get an IP address. Do a “reverse lookup” on that same IP address and see if it’s their domain or a shared computer, which it is in this case:
This company doesn't even own a single dedicated server!
How can someone think of buying such an important product for your company from this type of business?
hmdnsgroup.com doesn’t even have a web page!
blank page at this company's hosting provider
Go one step further:
Looking 1 above & 1 below their IP address (.70 and .72) and you see two utterly unrelated company websites, all sitting there sharing the same computer:
next-door neighbor to a shady GPS tracking player
next-door neighbor to a shady GPS tracking player
Then take a look at the code for their login form & see they don’t even own the service themselves!
Don't buy from a GPS Tracking startup company!
Sure, they may be successful, EVENTUALLY (actually, I’ll bet they’re not here a year from now & will check on it…). But do you want your company to be the guinea pig they learn on? No. Call GPS Insight instead. The Better Business Bureau gives us an A and we are one of their Accredited Businesses. We’ve been around 5 years. And by the way, that’s the right number of years for a company in this high-tech space. It’s long enough, but not too long. Our technology is modern day, not too old like some other players in this space. Give us a call and we’ll help you understand the differences.
Thanks,
Rob.
