From Train Hacking to Tech Curiosity
Jordan’s story went viral as a teenager when he discovered a loophole in Switzerland’s train ticketing system. What started as youthful curiosity in breaking systems soon transitioned into legal bug bounty programs and white-hat hacking, where he tested vulnerabilities for banks and organizations. This early obsession with solving complex problems laid the foundation for his entrepreneurial path.
Early Hustles & Lessons Learned
Before launching BoostedHost, Jordan explored multiple ventures from selling Instagram followers to running a small social media agency and drop-servicing web development. But an early partnership gone wrong (where he was scammed while trying to build a hosting business) became the turning point. Left with a basic reseller setup, Jordan decided to double down instead of giving up turning failure into the spark for BoostedHost.
Building BoostedHost: A Hosting Company with Heart
Founded in 2023, BoostedHost has quickly positioned itself as a reliable, high-performance hosting provider. Unlike many providers, BoostedHost gives customers the choice of global data centers, including Switzerland, Germany, the US, Singapore, and even Nigeria a move that empowers clients to localize hosting while leveraging Swiss-grade trust and security.
What sets BoostedHost apart is not just infrastructure but also human-first support. With a global team, including 24/7 support engineers in Pakistan, BoostedHost goes beyond tickets even jumping in to fix out-of-scope client issues when needed. As Jordan puts it: “At the end of the day, we’re all humans. If a customer struggles, we sit down with them and find a way to help.”
Orbit: WordPress Websites in 60 Seconds
The crown jewel of BoostedHost’s innovation is Orbit, an AI-powered website builder that creates a complete WordPress site content, plugins, and setup in under a minute. Orbit is designed to help small businesses and agencies deliver professional websites at scale, without technical barriers.
Agencies in Switzerland are already adopting Orbit for clients with limited budgets, using it as a blueprint to launch fast, cost-effective websites. Jordan emphasizes that Orbit remains free for all BoostedHost customers, making professional-grade websites accessible to everyone.
A Philosophy of Fairness & Contribution
Unlike traditional hosts that upsell add-ons, BoostedHost positions itself as all-inclusive hosting. No bandwidth caps, no nickel-and-diming just transparent pricing and value. Jordan’s philosophy is rooted in fairness, accessibility, and supporting entrepreneurs who may not have deep pockets but deserve reliable technology to grow their businesses.
WordPress & the Future
Jordan is bullish on WordPress:
“Over 50% of the internet runs on WordPress. I can’t imagine it going away anytime soon. With Orbit, we want to give people an easier way to use it, without losing the flexibility and freedom WordPress provides.”
Favorite WordPress Plugins
When asked about his favorite plugins, Jordan highlights:
- Orbit – for instant website building.
- Limit Login Attempts – for essential security against brute-force attacks.
- LiteSpeed Cache + Cloudflare + QUIC.cloud – for enterprise-grade speed at no cost.
- RankMath – for SEO, especially paired with WPML for multilingual optimization.
Looking Ahead
At just 20, Jordan has his sights set on scaling BoostedHost globally while continuing to innovate with Orbit. Beyond business, he dreams of one day funding archaeological research into ancient civilizations and possibly even launching a space exploration program.
