NameHero

NameHero is a US web Hosting Provider founded in 2015 by Ryan Gray, an online entrepreneur with experience since 1998. The company is registered as Name Hero, LLC in Jackson, Wyoming, USA, with main operations run out of Kansas City, Missouri. NameHero is built from scratch with no outside funding (fully bootstrapped), reaching $5.3 million in revenue with a team of around 33 employees.

The company’s rapid growth gets recognized with three straight appearances on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private U.S. companies: 2022, 2023, and 2024, with a top spot at #103. This performance puts NameHero among the most dynamic Hosting companies in the U.S.

NameHero runs 4 data centers: two in the US — Lansing, Michigan (the largest facility, with capacity for ~35.000 servers) and Lenexa, Kansas — and two in Europe — Amsterdam, Netherlands (opened in November 2019) and London, UK (launched in February 2025). Worth noting: only the US data centers use NVMe storage; the European ones use standard SSD.

Proprietary cloud infrastructure runs on AMD EPYC processors, DDR4 memory, and NVMe SSD storage. All shared and WordPress plans run on LiteSpeed Web Server, delivering speeds up to 20x faster than traditional Apache. The stack includes MariaDB (instead of MySQL), Redis for object caching, CloudLinux OS for account isolation, and Imunify360 for security.

The service lineup covers the full range: shared web hosting (from $2,24/month), managed WordPress hosting, reseller hosting with WHMCS integration (from $14,97/month), CloudShield managed VPS (from ~$23,70/month), cloud dedicated servers (from $153,97/month), email hosting (from $2,77/month), domain registration, gaming servers, and cloud GPU instances.

NameHero guarantees 99.9% uptime for websites and publishes annual third-party Pingdom monitoring reports. Independent testing confirms an actual 99.97% uptime. A NOC (Network Operations Center) team monitors the infrastructure 24/7/365.

A major differentiator is the commitment to human-only support — no AI chatbots. Technical support is available 24/7/365 via live chat, phone (1-855-984-6263), and email, with an average response time of 15 minutes. This approach helps earn a 4.9/5 Trustpilot score from around 4,900 reviews.

All Hosting plans include at no extra cost: CloudLinux OS, Imunify360, LiteSpeed Cache, QUIC.cloud CDN (75+ PoPs with HTTP/3 support and image optimization), free SSL certificates, and free site migrations. This all-inclusive approach removes upsells for essential features.

Prices are based on 36-month promo terms, with a free domain on 2+ year plans and a 30-day money-back guarantee on all products (VPS minus the $19,95 setup fee). Reseller plans include a free WHMCS license from the Gold tier and up.

NameHero positions itself as a premium Provider focused on performance and support quality, rather than the lowest price. The mix of LiteSpeed, NVMe, AMD EPYC, and dedicated human support makes it a solid pick for users who care about site speed and fast fixes for technical issues.
