About

Being a small business ourselves, we recognize that you may not need always the high powered and expensive solutions that are out there. Instead, we focus on finding and making available the several turn key solutions that exist out on the web so you can have a professional-grade products with minimal fuss.

HostIGR Website Design:

HostIGR’s primary focus has always been websites. We started out by building advanced, high powered websites, but quickly found that the group we most wanted to help, small businesses who are just getting started, couldn’t afford completely custom websites, or worse, really didn’t need them!

We know that small businesses benefit from having a website. These days, it’s at least as important as a phone number in many cases!

So we changed focus. With a new goal of trying to build professional websites for businesses that don’t want to pay an arm and a leg and who may not have technical staff on hand to continue updating their site, we began focusing on some new technologies.

Rather than designing a website from scratch, we help our customers mold various Content Management Systems (CMS’s) into their vision.

The main technologies we’re focusing on (but not limited to) are:

• Joomla! is an amazing system to work with. It allows you to use shopping carts connected to any web based payment system, write articles, display pictures and movies, and looks very professional.
• WordPress is an e-publishing suite that lets you blog, post articles, and generally create a professional looking publishing site.

Joomla and WordPress are Content Management Systems (CMS’s). They let you write using an editor, publish your writing to the web, and deal with menus and forms rather than have to know how to use the code that goes into a website.

They also use templates to make the site even more customizeable. You can find a template that fits your vision. Templates are often free, but for some of the most professional templates or templates without references to the author on them, you may have to pay a small fee (usually between $10 and $50) to use it.

HostIGR Hosting Solutions

Have a website, but lacking a place to display it? Fed up with your previous hosting company? HostIGR started providing hosting services to be a “one stop shop” for customers that want it. Many of our customers want continued support from us, and that support is cheaper and easier to provide if we don’t have to go through a third party hosting group!

We can set you up with your own private corner of the internet with access to all the industry standards: cPanel, PhPmyAdmin, email (pop, imap, and webmail), full database support, file management and FTP, and much more!

Computers

HostIGR has also started refurbishing computers! We have older laptops and desktop machines that we clean, replace parts, and replace. We usually put Ubuntu (an easy to use, graphical version of Linux) on these computers because it runs quickly, and it’s free … making the computers cheaper for our customers!

We have everything from 300MHz computers (remember those?) up to several GHz, modern machines. Some even have Windows on them.

Our older machines are great for simple tasks: web surfing, document editing, or for the kids! Ubuntu comes with tons of free software, including educational games! We’ve been able to sell some machines for as cheap as $75!

Newer machines, of course, can be used anywhere! Maybe you need a middle of the line machine for your own work? Maybe you need a reliable computer for your customers to use while they’re in your lobby? Maybe you just want a cheap machine to start learning some new technology on your own! We can even custom build computers to make the most screaming gaming rig available today!

No matter what your needs, we can help you get the machine you want!
