Athenry might be known for its medieval heritage, but walk through the town today and you’ll see a business community that’s anything but stuck in the past. Between the enterprise park, the retail units along the main streets, and the growing number of people working remotely from home, there’s real demand for proper IT support — the kind that doesn’t involve waiting three days for someone to drive down from Dublin.
Hostme.ie provides IT support to businesses in Athenry, Craughwell, Loughrea, Oranmore, and right across east Galway.
What Makes Hostme.ie Different
I’ll cut to it: when something goes wrong with your tech, you message me directly on WhatsApp, Telegram, or by text. Not a helpdesk, not a chatbot, not a receptionist who’ll “escalate your case.” Me. I know your setup because I’m the one who manages it, and I respond in under 2 hours on average.
That direct contact model is what my clients consistently say sets Hostme.ie apart. In an industry where most providers hide behind ticketing systems, I think being reachable shouldn’t be a selling point — but apparently it is.
Services for Athenry Businesses
Whether you’re a sole trader with a laptop and a prayer, or a growing business with 15 staff and a server room that worries you, I can help:
- Remote IT support — most issues sorted remotely, same day
- Microsoft 365 — full admin, migrations from legacy email, Teams and SharePoint setup, licence management
- WordPress maintenance — I keep your site updated, backed up, and secure for €300/year
- Web hosting — reliable, Irish-hosted, properly managed
- Cybersecurity — threat assessments, MFA rollout, phishing awareness, endpoint security. Small businesses in Athenry are targets too
- POS & payment systems — advice and troubleshooting for retail and hospitality
- Hardware support — laptops, desktops, printers, networking
For businesses wanting ongoing cover, the managed IT package at €110/month includes proactive monitoring, regular maintenance, and priority support. Think of it as having an IT department on retainer for less than the cost of a single callout from most competitors.
No Contracts, No Corporate Waffle
I charge €80/hour for one-off work. No minimum hours, no binding contracts. I’ve been doing this for over 18 years and have worked with more than 100 clients — the retention comes from the service, not from locking people in.
The tagline is “Local | Affordable” and that’s genuinely what it is. I’m based in Galway, I know the area, and I’m not trying to charge enterprise rates to a business with five staff.
Get Started
If you’re an Athenry business — whether on the enterprise park, the main street, or working from the spare bedroom — and you want IT that actually works for you, send me a message. WhatsApp is fastest, but I’m on Telegram, email, and phone too.
I also support businesses in Claregalway, Tuam, and Claremorris. Not sure what IT support you actually need? Here’s a no-nonsense breakdown.
