Sales
|
|
|
Sales questions are answered by live chat, toll free telephone number and an online ticket system. Both my live chat and phone calls were answered with impressive speed, but I found the sales reps didn’t know the answers to many simple questions, such as where the NetHosting data center is located. When I asked about an uptime guarantee, I was told it was 99%, despite NetHosting’s website claiming to offer (and actually enforcing) a 100% guarantee. Disappointing!
|
Setup
|
|
|
It takes just a few minutes to order up a new hosting account from NetHosting from their website. Dedicated servers are setup and ready to use in ten minutes or less and shared hosting accounts are activated instantly. Perfect!
|
Billing
|
|
|
NetHosting accepts all major credit cards and the billing department is available for assistance by live chat, phone and trouble ticket system. I was accurately billed over a one year period and had no trouble cancelling my account.
|
Reliability
|
|
|
NetHosting’s hardware and network performed with 100% reliability.
|
Help & Support
|
|
|
Tech support at NetHosting is carried out by phone, live chat and a web-based trouble ticket system. Support is responsive and thorough, and questions are most often answered with just one call or ticket. It’s worth noting that I had reason to contact support on holidays, overnights and busy weekends and always received prompt and courteous attention. Wonderful!
|
Uptime
|
|
|
My uptime monitor indicated that NetHosting.com maintained a 100% uptime rating.
|
Pricing
|
|
|
Shared cloud hosting plans start at $11.95/month, cloud servers are $24.95/month and dedicated servers are $174/month and up. NetHosting is not the cheapest host out there, but their prices are not excessive either.
