We started 501 Servers because Arkansas small businesses deserve a web host that actually knows their name — not one that routes them to an offshore call center.
Area code 501 has served central Arkansas since 1947 — one of the original area codes in the entire United States. It covers Little Rock, Conway, Hot Springs, Benton, Cabot, Jacksonville, and dozens of communities across the heart of the Natural State.
Over the decades, the 501 became more than a phone number. It became a symbol of regional pride — the heartbeat of central Arkansas commerce, community, and culture. When we named our company, the choice was obvious.
There are 292,000+ small businesses in Arkansas. The vast majority of them host their websites with companies headquartered in other states — with support teams in other countries — and pricing models designed to quietly raise rates every year after the promotional period ends.
We've seen the frustration firsthand. A restaurant owner in Benton paying $3.99/mo for the first year, then getting a renewal notice for $14.99. A contractor in Conway calling GoDaddy for help and spending 40 minutes on hold before reaching someone who has never heard of Arkansas.
We think there's a better way. Local hosting, local support, and prices that don't change — because the person answering your call actually lives here too.
Free migration included. No contracts. No price hikes. Local support from day one.
