In 1999, two maverick minds had a chance meeting in an elevator. Lance Tracey and Mark Teolis were both successful business leaders who found they shared a similar passion – a passion for the untapped power of the Internet.
And they believed that it was about to radically transform the business universe. They also believed that this power should be available to all businesses — large or small. In fact, Lance and Mark believed that the web could become the great equalizer, levelling the playing field and giving small- and medium-sized businesses the stage and tools they needed to compete against anyone.
This chance meeting sowed the seeds for PEER 1 Hosting. With equal parts passion, persistence, guts and belief, PEER 1 Hosting brought to the marketplace a refreshingly different attitude and approach. Far from the prevailing telco model of high costs, layers of bureaucracy and sluggish response time, PEER 1 Hosting offered a better option that focused on affordability, simplicity and unprecedented response time. Contracts were made uncomplicated and great employees were hired and empowered to make things right for the customer — right away. And the market responded. But access to the web was just the beginning for PEER 1 Hosting and our clients.
Responding to Today’s Business Needs
Today, business on the Internet has morphed way beyond its humble roots. From online commerce to sophisticated data applications, to gaming and online communities, the Internet has become a cornerstone of both ongoing business operations and personal lifestyles. But for many businesses, the increasing complexity of harnessing the web has led to frustration and missed opportunities. Too much time required, too few resources and not enough expertise are common challenges for many companies. How to handle hardware, support, security needs, backup strategies, firewalls and disaster recovery are all critical issues to be addressed and resolved. Outsource these challenges to PEER 1 Hosting and the headaches of the web are gone.
