Claregalway has changed a lot in the last ten years. What was once a quiet village on the road to Tuam is now a thriving commuter town with a proper business community — and the IT needs have grown with it. Home offices, hybrid setups, retail units on the main road, and trades businesses running operations from Claregalway while serving clients across the county.
Hostme.ie provides IT support to small and medium businesses in Claregalway, Carnmore, Annaghdown, Corrandulla, and the wider north Galway area.
The Claregalway IT Problem
Here’s what I see a lot around Claregalway: businesses that have outgrown their IT setup but aren’t big enough to justify a full-time IT person. Maybe you set up Microsoft 365 yourself two years ago and it mostly works, but you’ve no idea if your backups are running or whether your team’s passwords are any good. Maybe your WordPress site hasn’t been updated since it was built and you’re quietly hoping it doesn’t get hacked.
That’s exactly the gap I fill. You don’t need a full IT department — you need one reliable person who knows what they’re doing and who you can actually reach when something goes wrong.
WhatsApp-First Support
My clients don’t ring a helpdesk. They message me — WhatsApp, Telegram, or a text. I respond personally, usually within the hour. No ticket numbers, no hold music, no explaining your problem three times to three different people.
It sounds simple because it is. But if you’ve ever dealt with a large IT provider, you’ll know how rare that direct contact actually is. My clients in Claregalway and across the region consistently tell me it’s the thing that keeps them with Hostme.ie.

Local, Affordable, No Contracts
I charge €80/hour for ad-hoc work, and there are no lock-in contracts. If you want to try a month of managed IT and it’s not for you, no hard feelings. Over 18 years and 100+ clients, I’ve found that doing good work and being easy to reach is better than any contract clause.
