Hostgator

HostGator.com LLC is a world leading provider of shared, reseller, and dedicated web hosting. Privately held and based in Houston, Texas, the company was founded in 2002 by current President and CEO Brent Oxley, who started the company from his dorm room at Florida Atlantic University. Since then, HostGator has grown from a small hosting company with just three servers into a world leading and industry recognized hosting provider with more than 7,000 servers under management. The over two million domains hosted by HostGator make up approximately 1% of the world’s Internet traffic.
As a technology and product innovator, HostGator is able to provide its more than 225,000 customers with innovative products and services designed to complement their existing businesses. HostGator serves customers ranging from individual freelancers to Fortune 500 companies in more than 170 countries.
Because of the nature of reseller hosting, HostGator customers are frequently web designers and or developers who have chosen to provide hosting services to their clients. Businesses of all sizes and shapes frequently make use of HostGator’s affordable, but still powerful shared, reseller, and dedicated hosting services. Customers range from complete novices to computer and technology experts.
In 2008, HostGator was recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing private companies in America. According to Inc. Magazine, HostGator is the 21st fastest growing private company in America, the second fastest growing private company in the “business services” sector, and the fastest growing private company in Texas.
In order to keep up with the company’s rapid growth, HostGator moved from its original office in Boca Raton, Florida into a new 20,000 square foot office building in Houston, Texas. Since moving to Houston in January 2007, the company has added more than 200 employees. The company is growing rapidly and expects to add roughly 200 employees within the next two years.
In a June 2008 customer satisfaction survey, approximately 90% of HostGator customers reported being satisfied with HostGator and the services it provides. Industry-leading customer service and support is at the forefront of what HostGator does on a day-to-day basis. The company is constantly working to improve and refine that service and support and achieve its goal of becoming the world leader in the global web hosting market.
In addition to President and CEO Brent Oxley, HostGator’s management team consists of web hosting and technology veterans working together to ensure HostGator continues to grow and progress.

IX Webhosting

We have our own data center
Our Datacenter
When you’re researching a hosting company, this is an important thing to look for. Companies that outsource their hosting customers to other companies are not working for you; they’re working for the dollar signs you represent. They aren’t close enough to the servers where your information is held to care — to tear-up and light a candle when a server dies — or to fight to prevent issues that will ultimately affect you.
We’ve been in business since 1999
We know that selling hosting isn’t the same as selling a car. We are responsible for your website’s security, as well as your happiness with our service. We don’t take your money and hurry off to sell the next model. Getting a hosting plan is only the beginning of what we hope will be a long relationship with IX Web Hosting. In ’99, we were the newbie on the much-smaller hosting scene. Even though we are seasoned-professionals now, we know there is plenty to learn and many innovations and improvements to be made. We have been improving our service since 1999 and hope that with each new customer, we get another opportunity to be better — and not just better than the competition, but better than ourselves.
Our call center is right here, in the US
Out Call Center in KY Hopkinsville, Kentucky; to be exact. We know that normally, just being located in the US wouldn’t be something to brag about, but with all of the complaints concerning support employees having too-low a command of English to help you, let alone greet you properly, we thought we should mention it.
Our Future
The best thing about being in the internet-business (besides being able to say that we’re “in the internet business”) is that we are part of a revolutionary development in communication and information. While other hosting companies may think their involvement with the internet stops at collecting your money and squeezing your site into an already over-stuffed server, we have a pretty different idea. For one, we are working on some serious improvements to our already state-of-the-art data center. We’re working on being as energy-efficient as possible, while still maintaining reliability. We’re striving towards making our customer service department even friendlier and more efficient.
Normally, we are a pretty modest bunch here at IX. However, when it comes to the excellent awards we win year in and year out, we figured we’d show off just a little bit. Over the years we’ve earned top honors from some of the most prestigious review sites around. We’ve captured gold in Budget Hosting, Blog Hosting, and even Top Overall Host, just to name a few.
