We are different from most other hosting companies
Welcome to hostedWithGeeks.com! We're unlike any other hosting company out there, and there's more than a few reasons why. In your quest to find a web host, you have undoubtedly come across many providers. While there are many, there are few who really deliver a worry-free service that's also fast, secure, and reliable. hostedWithGeeks is just that, a web host run by geeks who go above and beyond to make sure that your experience with us is not only a walk in the park, but also fun and captivating as well. Read on to find out exactly how we're different, and why we're better!
We are a 'boutique' type of hosting shop
A lot of the bigger hosting companies cannot provide the personalized experience you will get when dealing with the Geeks. We love the web and have a great passion for everything that it encompasses, which gives us the drive to become the best hosting company that we can be. Consider us more of a 'boutique' hosting shop, rather than a 'big-box' store. We give you our direct attention into providing you with exactly what you need. Our customers are most important to us, and once you become one, you'll soon realize why.
We do not oversell our services
Overselling is a practice that most web hosts will use to entice you with promises of 'unlimited' services. They claim that you can have the world for pennies, then end up cramming countless sites on the same server that your website is hosted on, in hopes that their clients will not push the limits of their package. However, what happens if they do? Someone else's website on the same server as yours will cause downtime as the hardware resources cannot keep up, forcing you to lose visitors, all because of someone else's mis-management. Getting a large amount of hits on your site is every website owners' dream, and when that happens, hosting with us makes all the difference. We have realistic plans that give you the excellent service you require, while also allowing you to upgrade if the time comes when you need to.
We are an established corporation
How did we become who we are today? Surely you'll want to know the background of a company that you're going to do business with. In 2004, we established I.T. Foundry Inc., (our parent company), which specialized in supporting small to medium-sized businesses. On-site managing and monitoring the servers and networks of our clients was our bread and butter. However, without a large staff of consultants to go out to our local clients and give support, we were unable to grow in this realm as well as we had hoped. It turns out that it wasn't all that bad, because over the years, many of our customers learned that we also design, develop, and host websites, which quickly became our top service.
Our success depends on your success
A poorly configured website can not only cause problems for the owner of that site, but also for the company who hosts it. We constantly monitor our services, and look to make improvements wherever and whenever we can. If we spot that your website has been throwing errors in our logs, we'll work with you to ensure that such issues are corrected.
Chat with us live online for instant support
If you're looking for some instant support, chances are that you'll be able to get it quickly by getting in touch with us via our GeekAssist Live Chat feature. Have a look at our status just above our main logo, and easily start a chat with us (don't worry, you can also leave a message if we're temporarily away).
We not only host, but also create stunning, professional designs
Developing websites often goes hand-in-hand with hosting, as once you complete a project for a client, more often than not (especially if it is their first website), they will also need a server to host it with. We aim to close this gap, and have been quite successful at doing so. Many of our first clients who we originally designed websites for are still hosted with us to this day, and we continuously strive to make them happy by upgrading our infrastructure, ensuring our security is hardened, and above all, being there for them in the form of top-notch personalized support.
We'll help get you migrated from your old host
If you currently have a hosting package somewhere else and have made the decision to host with the Geeks, we would be happy to assist you in transferring your old site over to our high performance servers. You can provide us with a cPanel backup file, or simply give us the login details to your current hosting control panel, and we'll take care of the rest.
We offer InstallHero, our easy to use web application installer
Have you wanted to run your own WordPress site, but are confused on how to get it going? Whether it's Wordpress, or one of the other many applications that we support with InstallHero, getting your new web application installed is very simple.
We are true geeks at heart
It hasn't been easy growing up this way, but now is our time to shine. Geek culture has become less stereotypical over the years as the Internet has become further ingrained into everyone's lives. We've embraced this revolutionary movement, ready to divulge our knowledge to our customers who need it. We're here to work with you, similar to a partnership.
We will support you like our business depends on it (which it does!)
Other geeks out there will know that once someone discovers you're a 'tech-head', they will ask you many questions in hopes of capturing some of your wisdom to relieve their woes. We're not object to this phenomenon as you might think, due to the stress that it can bring, but we rather embrace it. We consider ourselves to have this gift of tech knowledge, and there's no better feeling on earth than sharing that knowledge.
We invest the majority of our profits right back into our business
All warm-fuzzy talk aside, we are a business, and our goal is to generate income. Our income however, will not go directly into our pockets, as our plan is to continually develop our business, and put a very high percentage of that income directly back into the company. Our infrastructure is solid and stable, but still has room to grow. We pledge that we will bring on new hardware when required, and NOT oversell our services.
We are an honest company, you'll love doing business with us!
We are realistic, honest, and transparent about our services and offerings. We're customers who value the honesty of the companies that we deal with, and we're confident that you'll feel the same way about us.
