Glexia

What Glexia does

Glexia is a privately-held, full-service information technology provider founded in June 2005 and headquartered in San Francisco, with legal incorporation in Massachusetts and wholly-owned subsidiaries in Australia, the United Kingdom, and Estonia. The company operates four service categories: design and development (custom applications, IoT/mobile, and web services across React, Ruby on Rails, Angular, Ember, CoffeeScript, iOS, Android, Windows, Xamarin, and a wide range of IoT/TV/home automation platforms); hosting (shared, reseller, and dedicated tiers with public pricing from $4.95 to $59.95/month, plus managed support and domain registration); security (red team operations, penetration testing, training, and crisis response leveraging ex-hacker talent); and managed IT plus ad-hoc consulting focused on SMB, medical, and law-office clients. The technology backbone runs on standard relational and document databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB) and integrates cPanel for shared hosting, WHMCS for client management, and TeamViewer for remote support. Rackspace is the core infrastructure partner.

Glexia makes money through a hybrid of recurring and project-based revenue streams. Hosting plans and managed IT support generate monthly/annual subscription revenue, with a self-serve signup flow supplemented by a consultative sales motion for custom development, managed services, and security engagements. Public pricing is fully disclosed for hosting tiers (e.g., Standard Shared at $4.95/month, Power at $14.95/month, Premium Reseller at $59.95/month) while custom development and security services are quoted per project or per hour. The stated customer base spans individual professionals (musicians, teachers), SMBs, medical practices, law offices, and enterprise clients, with named references including the University of Massachusetts and Northwestern DA. Glexia also markets 24/7/365 US-based support, HIPAA-aware managed IT, and global data-center relationships spanning 10+ US locations.

The company operates with a small team (1–10 employees) distributed across its four jurisdictions, relying on standardized tooling, partnerships, and automation to scale service delivery. Distribution is direct — through a consumer-facing store, website contact forms, a client portal, and remote-support channels — without disclosed channel partners or resellers. No outside funding, M&A activity, or institutional investor participation is documented; ownership appears to remain with the founder. Two named leaders are Michael Williams (CEO and founder) and Derek Khanna (Chief Strategist).
