Betterwebspace Hosting – Honest hosting at an honest price

Honest hosting at an honest price



BetterWebSpace started out in the last quarter of 2002, mainly because Keiron decided he didn't want to pay for his own web hosting anymore and thought he could probably get it for free if he hosted websites for a few friends! The truth is it grew far faster than he (or anyone else) expected, and by April 2003 was already making a small profit.


In the early days BetterWebSpace was nothing more than a reseller account for a larger firm, and in fact that reseller account was far smaller than the reseller accounts we offer nowadays.


Steadily they grew, through recommendations and word of mouth advertising they realised there was no better advertisement than their satisfied customers. Their customers recommended them so much that they could stop reselling other people's space and get their own servers.


Over the years they've added more servers, starting with smaller ones and eventually consolidating some of those smaller servers into far bigger, more robust servers in both their US and UK datacenters. They became part of InnovaTech Media Ltd in 2009 and in 2011 BetterWebSpace also became a Nominet registrar allowing them far more control over their pricing of UK domains.


For a long time the business was run on a part-time basis whilst Keiron pinned down other jobs, now there's a far bigger team behind BetterWebSpace that keep it running on a day-to-day basis. This has allowed Keiron and other members of the team to go back to what they really enjoy, making peoples lives simpler through coding and automation, as well as designing customised solutions and sites for their clients.
