Independent Web Hosting
Why use an Independent web host like ITwrx?
Large hosting companies may offer low introductory pricing on services like static website hosting and may include usage of their web site builders, but these services come with serious down sides, as well.
Independence from The Ministry of Truth
As various forces fight over control of the internet, censorship is coming from all angles. If what you want to host is legal to host in the US, and not in violation of the policies of the datacenter it will be served in, it's not our concern.
Resist being "Assimilated" by The Borg
Some Big Tech "solutions" may seem convenient, omnipotent, or omnipresent, but make no mistake, if you hand over all your business information or rights to these Supranational intelligence agencies, they will eventually use it to subjugate you, and/or put you out of business. Resistance is not futile.
Commercial activities necessitate commercial-grade solutions
Typical consumer-grade site builders usually result in sites with poor SEO, generic templates and themes, broken pages, layouts, css, and horrendous performance with very limited, if any, capability in regards to features. These site builders are just bait to get the customer onto their hosting "platform", with minimal effort towards a site builder that actually results in a correct and performing site. Having an affordable entry level for customers with limited needs, or means, is fine, but there's a difference between "entry level" and "broken and misleading".
ITwrx can build your custom static website with any theme or layout you want, create custom, professional graphics if needed, and help with implementing proper SEO that will result in a site with valid and efficient html, css, and javascript if/when necessary, that is fully mobile compatible, and performance-optimized and served lightning-fast; for the results you paid for.
If you want the ability to build or update your site on your own (or any other functionality), ITwrx can build a custom dynamic web application that is tailored to your organizations's exact needs. We also have a few different approaches to CMS and/or SSGs in the works. Once finished, clients could elect to use that instead of commisioning a custom app/CMS. We can also provide a quote to host any off-the-shelf FOSS CMS you want to use.
ITwrx uses colocated, baremetal servers hosted in centrally located USA datacenters with redundant fiber and power, and providing very low latency from any edge of the country, and good latency to other major global networks.
We currently use Alpine Linux which is a security-focused Linux distribution. We use LXC containers for our virtual server solution, which provides better performance than many popular alternatives, and with some security advantages. We are not just running on client containers on some huge corporation's "cloud", dependent on their config, management, or updates, for instance. We don't have to "nickle and dime" our customers for actual usage of their applications, either.
ITwrx web hosting customers enjoy secure, private, commercial-grade email hosting, "cloud" file sharing, XMPP chat accounts with E2E encrypted text, voice, and video, and our Pleroma instance at blurts.net for web marketing/social purposes.
