Hostwire was conceived in 2001 by 4FX media studios LLC to offer dedicated, personal, in-house web hosting services to a growing number of their clients. The nature of most of the projects and their clients demanded a knowledgeable staff and a dedicated one-on-one support team on call 24/7, a challenge and a gap that most web hosting companies could not deliver and fill. It soon became clear that the only way to deliver the best possible solutions was to take the matter into their own hands.
