The Host Group was founded in 1998 with a mission
to help small and medium sized businesses get online and thrive in the
world of e-commerce. Since that time, we have helped thousands of
businesses, non-profits and individuals to quickly establish a web
presence, sell their goods and services online and build communities of
interest on the web. As one of the original pioneers of the web
hosting business, THE HOST GROUP has seen a lot of competitors come and
go. Throughout it all, we have stayed in business and remained
profitable by sticking to a few core principles:
- Giving our customers great value for their
money
- Offering scalable hosting so your site
can grow as your business grows
- Providing live email and phone support 24X7
- Giving our customers the tools to get their
website online in minutes
At The Host Group, we are not trying to be the
biggest web host in the world, just the best web hosting partner for
your business!
THE HOST GROUP is a private held and
profitable company. The management and ownership group is composed
of former senior executives from such prestigious Fortune 500 companies
as Marriott International, Capital One Financial Corporation and J.P. Morgan &
Company. Now, this team is taking everything they have learned
from a lifetime of working for some of North America's best run
companies and using those skills to help your business thrive in an
online world.
All of our web hosting packages are run out of a
world-class data center facility in New England (security policies
prevent us from providing the exact location in a public forum).
Our servers are secured
with top quality physical security, 24 X 7 monitoring, complete patch
and upgrade management, 100% backup power, and numerous other features

availability needs of internet applications, and is currently home to
hundreds of thousands of websites. All our hosting packages are
run on leading edge, name brand equipment from suppliers such as Sun,
Dell, EMC and others. We maintain multiple network connections to ensure
that you site is up and running.
