We take it personally
Earl Davidson, Dentist (and Roman Enthusiast)
Discover why I’ve got Hostway behind my website...
What I needed
I've been a Roman Enthusiast for years, but have never been able to persuade my friends that this particular pastime is more serious than they think. So I thought I'd devote some of my spare evenings to building a simple website that would explain my hobby, why I'm interested in the history, the people, the places and so on. And I wanted to be able to include a photo album, too.
I needed to find a company that would take the time to offer the right solution for me, rather than just taking my money and then not bothering to answer the phone when I had a problem. I didn't want anything complicated, just a simple site with some easy-to-use admin tools. It had to be affordable and offer me the ability to speak to a UK-based support team.
Why I chose Hostway
I didn't really know where to start looking for someone to help me with registering a domain name and hosting my website for me. I searched online and found lots of companies, but didn't know who I could trust.
When I mentioned my website plans to a friend, they said that they used a great company called Hostway for their web hosting at work. They told me they'd never had any significant problems, but when they did, the service and customer support was excellent. They thought that Hostway also offered cheaper and simpler solutions for home users. I gave Hostway a call the next morning and came off the phone raring to get started! I was totally confident that the solution and support the expert offered was right for me!
How Hostway helps me
The team at Hostway helped me to choose and register a domain name for my website and then also supplied easy-to-use tools to help me build it. Hostway SiteControl™ allows me to carry out all the day-to-day admin, while SiteMail™ gives me instant access to my emails anywhere in the world. I haven't actually needed to call the UK-based support team yet, but I know that they're there around the clock if I do need some help. There's also a really useful help section on their site which contains easy-to-follow guides on all the main topics.
Building my own website was far easier than I expected. It meant I could spend more time choosing which photos I wanted to upload to the photo album section to show my friends! They're all really impressed with the fact that I have a website, but aren't totally convinced about the content yet...!
