If you’re new to web hosting you might be wondering, “What is a web host?” A web host is basically a server that is connected to the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They have server software installed that connects your website to the Internet and hosts it for you. A quality web host provider will ensure that their servers have a very limited downtime in order to make your website available at all times.

If you’ve resisted bringing your company’s presence online, you might be noticing how your competitors, with their impressive website are continuing to grow and gain new customers while your business has stagnated.

An online website can increase your company’s credibility and let people know that you take your business seriously. A business without a website looks behind the time and not up to date on current technologies and sales methods. Having a well-designed and maintained website can really help to increase your customers’ confidence in your company and give them that extra boost necessary to order from you.

We frequently receive customer testimonials that our loyal clientele have given us permission to share with the visitors to our website. This testimonial was sent to us by a customer who has been with us for a year and was so satisfied with our services that he decided to write us some feedback that we’d like to reprint on our blog.

“I signed up with HostingGoneWild about a year ago because their prices and feature list were so much better than all of the other hosting companies I found. I was a little leery about the level of uptime and the quality of the hosting that you guys would provide since your prices were so low. But after ordering your monthly plan and using it for a couple months I was sold and purchased a 2 year plan.

If you’ve ever dealt with another hosting service that offered sub-par customer service, you’ll find HostingGoneWild to be a breath of fresh air. We offer a variety of ways for you to contact us and have a state of the art Client Area which gives you full control of your domain and your hosting service.

Whether you’d like to contact us by telephone, e-mail or by opening a ticket, you’ll find it here. We take customer service very seriously at HostingGoneWild, which is why we provide a large part of our hosting services to referrals and repeat customers.

Sometimes we receive e-mails asking why they should pay for hosting when there are still a few companies out there that offer free hosting. This is a great question and one we’d like to address in this blog post.

Free hosting has a large amount of limitations that aren’t a problem with paid hosting. Things like limited disk space, no FTP access, no e-mail, advertisements and long URLs that are nearly impossible for your customers and visitors to remember.

You might be asking yourself, “What’s included in the HostingGoneWild hosting services?” The answer is that HostingGoneWild provides you with more storage, bandwidth and helpful tools and extras than any of our competitors at prices that are the most affordable in the industry.

When you order a hosting package from HostingGoneWild, you’ll receive a free domain name for as long as you stay a customer of ours. That saves you about $10 a year on domain fees and takes the hassle out of purchasing a domain name from a different registrar.

Since the rise of YouTube, multimedia support on websites has become more and more essential. If you have a website that you’d like to develop and host with HostingGoneWild, we have a large variety of features and tools for you to use that can help your website compete in this fast-paced day and age.

Our hosting servers offer full support for streaming videos and audio in order to give your website all of the tools it needs to enter the exciting world of Web 2.0. We support Flash and Macromedia Shockwave, which are the most exciting web development programming tools available today. Flash is an extremely versatile multimedia tool and almost every major website uses some form of it. It can help you increase the functionality and provide new and exciting ways for your customers and visitors to interact with your site.

If you need a robust e-mail solution from your hosting company, HostingGoneWild is the best answer for you or your business.

Not only do we offer secure POP3 servers we also offer unlimited forwarding e-mail accounts to ensure that you’ll always have access to your important mail.

If you need an e-mail auto-responding service, we have that as well. We also offer free access to our Spam Assassin Protection service which helps to filter out the hundreds of spam messages that you receive daily.

If you have a current domain name that you want transferred when you sign up for HostingGoneWild, we offer an easy and quick way to accomplish that. Just click on our Transfer Customer link and you’ll be asked to provide the domain name that you would like transferred.

While the staff of HostingGoneWild.com is clearly proud of our services and the advantages we offer over most other Web hosting companies, we are always eager to share some of the successes that our customers and clients have enjoyed through the use of our services.

One such client is “Scott,” a young graphic designer who has dreamed for years of launching his own freelance company. Initially, Scott completed projects for local companies and individuals in his hometown. Scott quickly realized, though, that having his own Website could take his company to new heights. Scott signed up for a free hosting service through another company.
