Why host with HostIGR? PDF Print E-mail

There are literally hundreds of hosting companies out there, many that we even recommend to customers, so why should you choose to host your business or personal website with HostIGR?

In a nutshell, adaptability.

You see, we specialize in providing a trim, elegent, and professional website to you or your small business at a fraction of the cost of a custom website. We help you get your feet wet in the world of web presence and internet marketing. Where you go from there is up to you, but we'd like to help you take the next step as well.

A lot of hosting companies in our price range are great buys. They offer good services, lots of space and bandwidth, and a lot of other things 90% of you will never use. Well, we offer those same things, but we also give you unprecendented levels of control of your space. You have direct access to databases, e-mail and ftp accounts, and all of your scripting files.

Why is that important to you?

When you're just starting out, it may not seem too important. Later, when your busienss expands or you have a new idea for your personal website, it may make all the difference. You see, we can help your website grow along with you because you do have access to everything in your web space. With a lot of hosting companies, it would be very difficult to add an e-commerce solution to your already existing website, or maybe you want to try out a different web management utility and need an extra database or two set up. With us, it's as simple as following the instructions on the e-commerce solution you've chosen because you already have that level of control.

That's right. You won't even need to place a call to tech support to unlock additional databases, or dicker about the permissions set on your files. If you do need help, we're here and you can even hire us to do the work for you so you can get to more important things, like sales.

The difference is adaptability.

 
HostIGR is back, baby! PDF Print E-mail

After a brief redesign and a minor change in management*, HostIGR is back and ready to rock!

We've expanded our services to not only offer you Website and Hosting solutions, but also Computer solutions! Here's a brief rundown of what we offer:

Website Solutions

HostIGR, being a small business itself, recognizes that you may not need the high powered 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 professionally designed website with minimal fuss.

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

Joomla! is a 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. This site was built using Joomla and VirtueMart.

VirtueMart is a web commerce solution that allows you to set up a store, manage inventory, receive and track payments and invoices, and automatically deal with customers.

WordPress is an e-publishing suite that lets you blog, post articles, and generally create a professional looking publishing site.

Drupal is a content management system much like Joomla or WordPress, but simpler to use and maintain (though that trade off comes with some limited functionality as well).

All of these technologies 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 all 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.

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.

We offer one Gb of space (more than enough for most companies), 100Gb of bandwidth per month, unlimited databases, unlimited subdomains, 50 e-mail accounts, and 10 ftp accounts.

This server is up over 95% of the time (lower than industry standard, but also cheaper ... downtimes are usually for software updates), and sitting on a floor in Florida with a tech crew watching over it 24/7. It's not as perfectly stable as some of the more professional hosting sites, but if you're just getting your business off the ground, it's a great place to start.

Computers

New to our lineup is the offering of computers for sale. We try to find used computers that no one wants or that no longer work, and then we spend time rebuilding them or recycling them. Many people don't know where to recycle a computer, even though they know that they should recycle them. If you are in this category, we'd love to help you and the earth out and take that broken or old computer off your hands.

Computers that we can piece together or rebuild, we then put fresh operating systems on and sell for a very reduced price. Some computers have gone out for as little as $75! --This computer was a 700MHz machine with Ubuntu installed on it--

We also build custom computers. Have a need for a great processing machine? Maybe one that will work as a database server for your company? Maybe just a great gaming machine? Or maybe you just want a newer computer and don't want to pay the other companies all that extra money when you could build a better machine for the same price?

HostIGR is ready for action!

 

* HostIGR is composed of Nventek, LLC, Phystronics, LLC, and LaSelleStudios, LLC
