Hi Deb, I'm not sure if your friend is in the Valley but Itabix (https://itabix.com) is local, we've been offering web hosting and services for 17 years. We charge $7.95/month for hosting which includes 6GB space, 20GB bandwidth, unlimited emails (shared space with the website), free basic SSL (https), and WordPress management (security, repair and updates) starting at $10/month additional which is cheaper than any other similar service we've seen. We also offer inexpensive domain names, secure certificates, WordPress website development and programming, VPS and dedicated servers with or without management - we basically offer everything you need other than SEO and site design. We watch out for our customers and we won't just tell you to fix your site or you'll get shut off if it gets infected with malware, which is the case with most hosting companies. We also work with designers and developers to take care of their clients such as Carey Baker of Midnightson Designs. We developed, host and manage the Academy of Music site (https://aomtheatre.org) and websites for three WGBY shows (https://connectingpoint.wgby.org, https://togetherinsong.wgby.org, https://presencia.wgby.org) among many other local and national websites.
