Alex Korneyev, President
HostForWeb, Inc is Chicago’s premier hosting provider, providing reliable, scalable solutions for customers of all sizes and services. Located in the carrier-neutral Equinix Chicago Data Center, HostForWeb, Inc has access to all the major carriers in Chicago without the need for local loop circuits. Our Hosting packages provide you with a high quality service which cannot be equalled. In addition to terrific prices we also offer a number of free services that most registrars charge for: DNS, URL Redirection, EmailForwarding, API, and Parking Services.
What unique selling points do you offer?
HostForWeb’s competitive advantage relies on the depth of our technical support team. On staff we have system administrators who have real world programming experience, and have virtually dealt with many different hosting problems. All of our system administrators go through vigorous recruiting procedures and at least have, on average, 4 years of web hosting experience. We are confidant that our support team can quickly solve any hosting issue. Since we do not outsource our support, we have more control and stability and our clients clearly benefit from this.
Describe the services you offer?
We would define web hosting as a service that allows people to share information via the World Wide Web.
Describe your target market?
Our primary market is individuals who need reliable and intelligent support. Most of our clients have been with us for numerous years and that main reason is because of our established support team. We also cater to small to midsize companies that need hosting solutions at affordable pricing.
How is your company planning for the future?
We are seeing tremendous growth with our VPS packages. I still believe that the VPS market is the beginning growth stage, and as more people learn about virtual private severs that more web hosting companies will provide this service.
What benefits can you offer your customers?
Not only do we provide true 24-7-365 support, but we pride ourselves about hiring the best system administrators available.
How do you support your customers?
WE offer 24-7-365 support via phone, livechat, and help desk. That means all major Holidays as well. We also started our own forum where our customers can interact with each other.
