Background

Family History Hosting LLC was founded in 2007 to provide first-class web hosting services for genealogists and family historians. We strive to eliminate the technical hassles and barriers that prevent researchers and hobbyists from publishing their work. We understand what you are trying to do, and we have provided the necessary tools; nothing more and nothing less.

To provide the technical infrastructure, we evaluated dozens of top-tier hosting partners and selected a premium service that provides superior service and reliability. We reviewed hundreds of user sites and based on that research, we designed hosting packages that meet the needs of most genealogy and family history users. We did the work of selecting features; installing and pre-configuring software; and assembling it all together in a bundle that requires a minimum of technical know-how from our customers.

The Data Center

Our state of the art datacenter is staffed 24/7/365. There are multiple sources for everything the datacenter needs: network connections, electrical power, air conditioning, etc. That means your site will be available despite power outages, network outages, or other technical difficulties. We can promise 99.9% uptime because our partners deliver better than 99.9% uptime to us!
