When I first began noticing that some of my favorite businesses around town didn't have a website, I asked them why. They told me they couldn't afford it. Some of them had taken the time to get quotes from other website developers and the prices they quoted were shocking to me. $2,700 for a website with a few pages and a few pictures? I knew things had to change. These businesses were losing new clients because people didn't know they existed. So, I started Forse Hosting with the goal in mind that I would try to find a way to work with any client - no matter what their budget.

As time went on, I quickly realized that the "piecemeal" approach of other developers was a turn-off to most small business owners. They didn't want a quote (or an invoice!) with 38 line items, most of which they didn't understand. Maybe those other website developers weren't interested in small business owners. So, I developed a "flat price" that could accommodate almost any business in town. My clients know what they are getting for one single price - a professionally designed website, as many email addresses as they need, true on-hands support when they need it, and the whole year of hosting for their site. They meet with me, tell me their needs, write a check, sign an Agreement, and go back to doing what they do best - growing and running their business. I don't take away from their time with the business (or their family) - I add to it, by helping to give them the least-expensive, most productive employee a small business owner could ask for - a professional website.

Forse Hosting is locally owned and operated. I have lived in Butler County for 5 plus years. Forse Hosting is a hands-on business. It's here to support your business - to make you successful. I want to see your business grow.

My data center is located in Chicago, Illinois. The data center is staffed 24/7/365. There are multiple OC48 SONET fiber rings that provide basic connectivity to eight access carriers. The data center is completely redundant, including a 2200 gallon backup diesel generator. There are over 580 smoke detectors throughout the 35,000 square foot facility, with a VESDA contaminate system. Don't worry if you don't know what this means. The bottom line is that your website won't be on somebody's home network or local server farm that could leave you at risk. It will also serve your website fast. You can't get that from many low-cost server operations.

I believe strongly in giving back to the community. If you simply cannot afford to be online and you are a registered not-for-profit entity, contact me to see if I can help you.
