Recon Hosting was founded in early April 2010 and was derived by our sister site Recon Gaming. Since then we have established hundreds of connections worldwide and continue to do so. Recon Hosting has the capabilities to provide the quality, power and speed to keep businesses optimized and running quickly over the internet.

Business Model

Our goal is to provide and connect thousands of clients around the world with a quality web hosting solution to meet the rising information technology demands of businesses. Quality Hosting at a Fraction of the Price is our business model. Running by this model, we strive to provide only the best, with the price in mind for our clients. On top of that, our dedicated staff backs our Quality Hosting service with a peace of mind by providing top quality support. To match quality together with a great price is our main objective.

Minimum Level of Quality:

At Recon Hosting we've chosen to only use quality hardware. Our network equipment utilizes the world leading Cisco and Brocade Networks equipment. We also only use genuine Dell and IBM hardware in our servers. Our hardware choice is backed by decades of quality products and service. We believe that home PC's should stay at home; because we've got the right hardware for the job!

Dedicated International Support Team:

To run a successful business; a business needs clients. In which case, clients are top priority at Recon Hosting. Our dedicated staff is located in 3 different parts of the United States allowing optimized and quick sales and support response! At Recon Hosting we don't believe time zones should interfere in business working hours or support response. You'll find us online and available nearly 24/7!

All web hosts are not created equal.

While many hosting companies are discrete about their infrastructure - Recon Hosting takes pride in being located in a true mission-critical data center(as any serious web host should).

What does this mean for your website?

* Power that Never Fails - Redundant APC Uninterruptible Power Systems and diesel backup generators on-site
* Fast Connections - Smart Cisco + Brocade + Force10 routing find the shortest routes from source to destination with PacketExchange
* High Capacity - Dense OC-48 and OC-192 fiber-optic internet connections allows heavy combined throughput
* Healthy Hardware - Exclusively server-grade hardware (Dual Intel Xeon) cared for by Liebert HVAC environmentals

We understand that most web hosts have no infrastructure, are resellers of resellers of resellers, are dishonest, or at very least extremely misleading about the infrastructure that they have. The veil of the internet is extremely thick.
