hostingDifferent is a debt-free, privately-owned WordPress managed-hosting company based in the Sacramento Valley.
Founded by Scott Benedict in October 2012, hostingDifferent sets out to make hosting a website more accessible to the masses who might not be so technically inclined through the simplicity and elegance of WordPress.
Scott has been involved in web-hosting, programming, and design since 1998 and started hosting his family and friends early in 2001. In February of 2008, Scott opened up powerMonster.net and successfully ran it for two and a half years before selling it in August of 2010. powerMonster.net was known for it’s superior service and fast servers. Although Scott still loved the web-hosting business, he wanted to focus on other endeavors. He continued to host privately for friends and family under the name hostingDifferent.com.
October 2012. Scott just couldn’t stay away from web-hosting and decided to pair his love for WordPress and his love for servers and offer simple, WordPress hosting to the masses—those who want a piece of the internet pie, but lack the technological know-how to dive in. hostingDifferent in its present incarnation is born.
hostingDifferent’s mission is to make web hosting accessible to everyone through a completely-managed WordPress experience allowing them to work on the creativity while hostingDifferent works on the technology.
