About us

Ventshop Hosting Services is a small home based business. We purchase server space from a Huston, Texas company and host our websites there. We are real people who look for a deal and try to pass them on to the people we deal with.

John Gill is the owner, operator, and designer at VHS. I work with my wife's help to figure out solutions for every website I do. And if there is something that I don't know I do our best to figure it out. It seems like every day is a learning process, a new way to code something to make it work a bit better, or a cool trick to make a graphic look awesome. That is why we enjoy doing this, it's definitely not because we want to be millionaires by the time we are forty, lol. We enjoy dealing with people directly and making sure everything is the way they want it to be.

A bit more about us. . . I live in an apartment building in downtown Lawton, OK. We both enjoy watching movies and computer gaming. The computer gaming is our therapy system, there is nothing like a husband and wife on opposite teams hunting each other and talking about it right after one of us dies laughing about it with our friends. You can’t buy better therapy than that. At one point in time we were approached by someone asking about a Ventrilo server and soon after VentShop.net was born. We jumped right in setting up our Ventrilo servers and got ahold of some web space so we could put a site online sponsoring our servers. Then we were asked by our landlord the possibility of setting a website up for the apartments. John started playing with some things and basically about that time VentShop Hosting Services was born. . . It has been 2 years now and we are up to a total of 6 domains and working on some more websites. One for a local Optometrist's office and a local car customization shop as well as some local restaurants. As well as a site for a friends small animal operation.

We enjoy dealing with the people we are hosting sites for and though we are definitely not the biggest company out there we pride ourselves in being hands on. Even before a page hits the web we test on both Windows and Linux based systems using multiple web browsers, including FireFox, Internet Explorer, Epiphany and Konqueror. We do this so we know what your pages will look like on a multitude of systems and allows us to make sure things show up properly. In our site design we are using a 24" widescreen monitor to allow us a large view of a page but also test with monitors running much lower resolutions, this allows us to make a page that looks nice on a smaller screen but also gives us the ability to work with systems that run almost any resolution. If you surf the web with a large screen or a high resolution you can see that many pages are rendered for only one screen size and when you use a larger monitor or even worse a widescreen monitor those pages waste over half the screen.

So feel free to get in touch with us, we will do our best for your site because we expect the same for our own.
