So, when football players end their careers, they&rsquo;re usually not sure what to do next,&rdquo; he said.<\/p><p>Seeing this problem, Jack turned his passion into a business. And thus, <a href=\"https:\/\/jaxbranding.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JAX Branding<\/a> was born &ndash; a creative agency that helps football professionals establish their brands and start their businesses.<\/p><p>To accomplish this mission and promote his services, Jack needed a website.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-challenge-finding-web-hosting-with-responsive-customer-support\">The Challenge: Finding Web Hosting With Responsive Customer Support<\/h2><p>For Jack, it was important to establish long-term relationships with companies that could be reliable partners for his business. When he was about to launch JAX Branding, he knew he needed a web host with fast and helpful customer support.&nbsp;<\/p><p>He also wanted one that supports WordPress &ndash; his go-to platform for building websites. Even though Jack had web development experience, hand-coding sites from scratch would take too much time. He also didn&rsquo;t want to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/hostinger.com\/website-builder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website maker<\/a> as it&rsquo;s not flexible enough for his business.<\/p><p>&ldquo;I was using a website builder for a while, but I wasn&rsquo;t really happy with the limited customization options. It&rsquo;s like you don&rsquo;t have full control over your own website,&rdquo; said Jack.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-made-jack-choose-hostinger-nbsp\">What Made Jack Choose Hostinger&nbsp;<\/h2><p>Jack found Hostinger seven years ago through various recommendations online.

One of the main speed bottlenecks was the enormous network payload, typically caused by large file sizes.<\/p><p>To tackle the problem, our technical team merged all of the pages&rsquo; CSS and JavaScript code.
