Web Hosting Tips & Resources From NameHero
Ryan Gray is the founder and CEO of NameHero, one of the fastest growing independent web hosts in the United States. Ryan has been working online since 1998 and has over two-decades experience in Internet Entrepreneurship.

That gap was a runway a mile long, […]
“Reseller hosting is dead.” Someone told me this when we first launched NameHero back in 2015. My response: the way everyone else is doing it is dead. We’re going to change that. We’ve always prided ourselves on pioneering the reseller hosting industry. From our proprietary private cloud to our CloudShield VPS, we believe in always […]

As a web hosting founder, I couldn’t stand the hoops, high costs, and sketchy “big data” players like Google or Microsoft messing with my privacy. After seeing disasters like Rackspace’s Exchange fiasco, I knew there was a better way. I’m an entrepreneur—when I see […]
