1. What is San Francisco Host?
In the web hosting business since 1998, San Francisco Host is a locally owned and operated company based in the vibrant city of San Francisco. Recently re-branded to better position itself in the marketplace, our goal is to provide rock-solid hosting with steadfast support. We value each and every client and prove it by providing incomparable service.



2. Why Is San Francisco Host Unique?
San Francisco Host is unique on many levels. Knowing that the success of our business is dependent on the success of our clients, we do whatever is necessary to keep our clients happy and to help them thrive. Just like the individuals, artists, small-businesses, non-profits and e-commerce entrepreneurs that are the lifeblood of San Francisco, our clients are the lifeblood of our business.

We view each one as a long-term relationship waiting to happen and place the utmost value on the bond that we are establishing. San Francisco Host also gives back to our community by offering discount hosting for non-profits and other qualified organizations. We strongly believe in the value of a handshake and knowing the names and faces of all our clients.



3. What Types of Websites Do You Host?
Our clientele is as varied as the city of San Francisco itself, comprised mainly of small entrepreneurs and inspired individuals. We even answer the phone, a rarity for businesses in these days of telephone automation. Personal interaction with all clients allows us to understand the needs of our clients and to enjoy a stronger working relationship.

Since all our hosting customers share space and resources on multiple servers, potential clients are screened to ensure that they are a good fit. If they are not, an alternate hosting company will be recommended.



4. Is San Francisco Host Growing?
Back in 1997 we began as a web design company. As new websites were created, it was necessary to find hosting for them. This process was very fustrating. We were treated to poor service, unispired hosting and very little customer support.

Eventually we gave up depending on other companies and decided to start a hosting company that would appeal to people like us. We knew that there must be many other people and small business like us that would gravitate towards our service. We sensed that we were not alone, and believed that if we offered a more personalized, user-friendly web hosting experience then entrepreneurs, web designers, and small businesses would gravitate towards us as a hosting provider. And we were right.



5. How Does Our Customer Support Work?
Customer support is available through the online help desk, telephone, or email Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time. In addition, technical support personnel regularly check the help desk support tickets during off hours, including weekends. Support tickets are addressed promptly!

Our online Knowledgebasesection is always available and we are obsessive about keeping it updated. We have just added new cPanel tutorials that can help you with managing your domain. That is great place to start looking answers before you submit a support ticket or phone in with a question.

All servers are constantly being monitored at the Network Operations Center to ensure that everything is running smoothly. If there is a server outage, or other connectivity issues, the technical support personnel are notified immediately and begin working on a solution before most clients are aware of any problem. Technical information that affects our clients is also posted in the announcements section of the home page. Clients are notified in advance, via email, of scheduled maintenance and upgrades which may affect their websites.
