Back in 1996, there weren't many hosting companies.
Christopher’s journey in web hosting started 24 years ago when the internet was unknown to millions. He built his first UK-based web hosting company in 1996 when most of his age went to university. Christopher chose not to. He had a natural inclination towards the fun, albeit unfamiliar, world of web hosting. His first web hosting service went on to host more than 50,000 websites of different companies in the UK.
Fast forward to 2002 and Christopher successfully sold his business to the UK’s largest hosting company at the time.
Career history
Although Christopher sold his company, he always wanted to get back to running a business. From 2003, Christopher got the opportunity to run multiple locations that included the UK’s largest bar and pub website. He managed to attract over 20 million visitors since the website’s launch. This led Christopher to win many awards. He even came up with a cruise and destination website nominated for multiple awards in the 8 years it has been running so far.
Managed WordPress eCommerce stores
Christopher still wanted back in on the technical side of the Internet though. This time, Christopher launched another web hosting company that became successful soon after its inception. And so, Christopher came up with mintWP.com, which focuses on helping eCommerce site owners leverage the real power of WordPress to increase targeted traffic and sales.
Christopher is always eager to try new things in life. He started web hosting at a time when the internet was still unknown to many people. Then he dived into WordPress and offered development and maintenance services that most companies don’t provide.
Quite recently, Christopher started another business called RedLettuce, which deals with software acquisition and development. RedLettuce has already acquired three esteemed software products. Christopher now wants to build a more extensive portfolio consisting of WordPress-related products to help his business grow.
Christopher Hughes is an inspiration to all those who want to try something new in life. Whether it’s web hosting or anything that interests you, you shouldn’t back away from challenges because facing them gives you the confidence to continue pursuing your dreams and help your career get new wings.
