Five years ago Bryan Muthig and a business partner started A2 Hosting with the idea that website hosting was a good idea.
It turned out to be a darned good decision. The firm, based out of Ann Arbor's southeast side, now employs 17 people. Some of them telecommute but they're all located in southeast Michigan.
"Most of our growth has come in the last 2-3 years," says Muthig, the president and CEO of A2 Hosting. "We were at four people three years ago."
The firm hopes to hire five people this year after enjoying 40 percent revenue growth. That's because it hosts the likes of Ubuntugeek.com, 43folders.com and the blog for a famous U.S. politician.
Muthig expects to continue that growth and take on more sites as time passes. He is even looking into getting into design and applications development.
"Assuming the world doesn't fall into chaos," Muthig says.
