Pinch Penny Web Hosting - cheap, small, reliable cpanel web hosting

Hi, I'm Amy Tompkins and I'm the owner/creator of Pinch Penny Web Hosting.

My first website was a free site with Geocities that I built in 1996. I started with no knowledge of the internet or how to build web sites, but I had some really great poetry (in retrospect, it was terrible) that I wanted to share with the world. I've had a website ever since, in fact I've created and manage quite a handful of sites now.

Over the years hosting my own web sites, I had noticed that even though disk space and network and server technology were getting cheaper, the price of web hosting wasn't really changing at the same rate. I also had a few negative customer service experiences, and a hosting company suddenly shut down: leaving me high and dry! I could see that instead of lowering the cost of web hosting, companies were simply increasing the amount of space they offered. I was paying for 200 times more disk space than my small sites would ever need. On top of that, I didn't like the idea that the smallest and shortest-term packages never offered the same "value" as the larger and longer-term packages.

I decided that the monolithic hosting companies are primarily interested in customers with very large sites and high demand for bandwidth. I felt that there must be more people like me; looking for a cheap, reliable web hosting company for the smaller-scale websites. I thought of people with blogs, small business owners, clubs or communities with limited resources. That was how the concept of Pinch Penny Web Hosting, web hosting for the "little guy", was formed.

From my personal experiences, I've crafted the key operating principles of Pinch Penny Web Hosting:

Web hosting should be affordable to individuals, small businesses, and organizations or communities with limited resources.
Value should not be dependant on the size of the package or the length of the term.
No customer can pay more for better service or features; we give our best to ALL our customers.
Patience, compassion, and clear communication are key to providing good technical support
Taking the time to help our customers learn and expand thier knowledge about thier web sites helps us as much as them.

I know that some of our principles might not make a lot of business sense, I guess it shows that I've never taken a course in business. I'm just a person who sees unlimited potential in the internet and wants to keep it accessible to as many people as possible.
