"I came to HSJ Hosting at a really desperate time. Our previous web hosting company had us on a shared server, and our website kept going down during peak periods, which was frustrating our franchisees. James moved us to a VPS for around a third of the price, and since then our website hasn’t gone down once. More importantly, James is a hands on business owner who is in the trenches with us, active in our group chats and constantly monitoring performance. Massive thank you for everything, James."
