5×5 Lab Adds Amazon Web Services (AWS) as Client Hosting Option


Albany, NY- 5×5 Lab, a Saratoga Springs, NY-based web design and development agency, is offering Amazon cloud services to its existing and future clients.

All hosting companies offer some advantages over each other, but we see that Amazon’s AWS will give our client’s eCommerce sites additional speed and reliability over our existing partners.

Speed Advantage

Many eCommerce websites will benefit from faster hosting for one simple reason: Shoppers do not like to wait. Faster page loads, shopping carts and transaction processing add to an overall positive user experience while shopping. Positive experiences can lead to repeat sales, positive reviews and even referrals to new buyers.

Karling says, “Think about your own tendencies as you navigate a new site or proceed to make a purchase. Rare is the customer who will put up with slow page loads, incomplete product pages or buggy shopping carts. The expectation is that the site will work flawlessly, otherwise, they will shop somewhere else.”
