(February 24, 2020 – Niles, MI) – Anthony and India Urban, owners of Urban City Host, saw a need in the region for safe, reliable, affordable and COMPLETE website solutions. Since 2018, they have been providing just that.India is a Pokagon Band of Potawatomi tribal member, and Anthony her husband. Anthony had been working for a local company that was developing a global foot print and helped revamp their website with the help of another marketing agency. He fell in love with the process of web design and hosting (or, storage of a website / domain), but was not happy with the options that were on the table and the way hosting was taking advantage of “the little guy”. Hidden fees, charging for free software and limiting web builders like WordPress. What is WordPress? WP is a web site builder that powers over 30% of the internet. 

After a discussion with India about the issues he was facing she asked “what can be done about it?” This led to hours of research on server infrastructure, web hosting, and the options available from the majors like Go Daddy, Spotify, Bluehost, WordPress.com, and Siteground. He also did research into what the Fortune 500 companies were using for host and infrastructure.  Soon, he was in discussions with the company who now is one of their main partners. Together, they built the SSD web servers that would be needed for the next level of hosting they wanted to provide. The server array is located in Lansing and operates at the major node that is there.
