Web Hosting Resource

All the team at Pipe Ten just would like to say a big thank you to all of our customers that filled in our recent survey.

The turnout was very impressive and we got some great feedback which included both constructive criticism as well as compliments. As much as we thoroughly enjoyed reading all the lovely things you had to say about us we also got some great ideas on how to improve our services. You may have noticed that some of the ideas have already been implemented and others you will see in the near future.

The lucky winner for providing the most in depth and valuable responses was Dan Pike from Go Massif who chose one of our dedicated Windows servers as his prize.

We try to run our customer surveys regularly so don’t worry if you didn’t get chance to contribute on this occasion, there is always next time. As always, we still welcome any feedback you want to send us via the contact methods.
