Why should customers host their website with you and not with your rival?

Do you provide hosting on Linux, Windows, BSD, Mac or other hosting platform? Here is your chance to tell us about your hosting company.

Thanks Temi for this chance to tell about our company. Hexahost team is in the industry for the past 7+ years. We all were working in different hosting companies and now we are united to form our brand Hexahost. currently we offer Linux hosting only.

What makes us different from our fellow hosting providers ?

a) Hexahost has hosting plans to cater different needs of a hosting customer. for example: a serious blogger may choose Hexablogs plan where as a customer who needs to run a Form may choose Hexa CMS.
