Hightek Hosting – Official Blog

Ok, let’s face it. We’ve all at some stage needed assistance with our PCs or other electronics, but sometimes, we’ve either been too afraid to ask or we’ve simply avoided the situatio, “made do” with hard to read instruction manuals or thrown it straight into the “too hard” basket due to the fears of high costs in hiring someone to assist you.

But what if you could put all of that behind you and get the assistance you need NOW without the need to pay expensive contractors and technicians.

Thats where a NearbyNerd can help!

Hightek Hosting is the proud hosting provider for a site developed by a self-confessed nerd called NearbyNerd

NearbyNerd was put together by a one Gilad Bakas, who saw the need to link users in need of help with those who could offer it without breaking the bank.

The site puts users in touch with their nearest nerd by use of postcode and suburb searches and at present, matains a database of over 500 nerds and is continously growing.

Boasting information about local “nerds”, the services they specialise in and their rates is just one way this site is helping users find the services they need, when they need it.

Most of the nerds on the site are like Gilad, being self-confessed nerds and perform technical task for either a small business or hobby, but they also allow for personal and friendly advice to be offered for as little as $10 per hour.

Have you ever tried supporting someone with an issue with their computer and a software application on the other end of a phone line?

If the answers is no, let us tell you it can be quite difficult, even at the best of times.

With each and every one of us having our little way of explaining an issue,  some issues are of such a nature that phone support can sometimes be a mission in itself.
