The majority of what you see on Hosting Data was created by me, down to every single oxford comma and overly indulgent pun. I refer to Hosting Data as “we” the majority of the time because we also have a great team of researchers and writers who work for meager sums of money to further the cause or on a volunteer basis. I still work as a front-end developer and web designer on a regular basis but Hosting Data has gone from a part-time project to my own little venture. I'm also one of the curators of NoSQL-Database.orgwhich I've combined with Hosting Data to make a more comprehensive list of NoSQL and database listings. If you’d like to stop by for a chat or offer up any constructive criticism, we’d love to hear from you on our contact page.
