Reliability
Local Data Centres with High-End Tech
Atlantic is based on a highly configured, secured and high-performance driven system that is not only stable but well balanced. The infrastructure and performance is said to be superior to many non-cloud based setups, offering SSD over HHD.
They have a page dedicated to checking server speed as well as any network issues but don’t clearly state any uptime guarantees. Data centres are located in Dallas, Orlando and in Toronto.
Features
Dedicated and Uncapped Features
You can select a dedicated hosting option or a cloud VPS option, and both come with some great features that will help set your business apart and take it to the next level.
The first choice you will need to make is whether you want Windows, Linux or cPanel VPS hosting, and all of these come with numerous plans and features. For your standard plans you will be given 256MB of RAM, 1Vcpu, 10GB SSD, a 1TB transfer cap, and all this for just $0.99.
For the XXLarge plan you can experience 200GB of disk space, 7TB transfer cap and 16,384MB of RAM, so you can see the difference from starter plans to the highest plans are incredibly far apart.
Support
Support in a Variety of Flavours
Support at Atlantic comes in a variety of different flavours, and you can’t knock them for the amount of contact numbers and email addresses that they have provided to you. They don’t just give one number and one email; instead you get a number for the US and Canada, and one for International calls for each kind of department from billing to technical help.
Knowledge base, network status, blog, live chat and every social channel imaginable are also provided here.
Pricing
From Small to Large Prices
Pricing can get confusing as there are so many options available, You firstly need to take into account that under the Cloud CPS hosting you have 7 different plans that each consist of between two and 4 pricing bands. These pricing bands are divided up unto hourly rates and monthly rates for Linux and Windows packages.
The cheapest plan is called the GO plan which is only available on Linux, and costs $0.99 per month. The cheapest Windows plan comes in at $9.93 per month, with the most expensive plans touching on $239 per month. There are no contracts or commitments.
User-Friendly
cPanel Comes as Part of Your Plan
I can’t complain about the usability of Atlantic, their site and what they offer is above board with CPanel being a very welcoming option to all CPanel fans out there. The information on the site is displayed well and you can clearly see the hosting plans and services that are on offer, along with a clear structure on what you get with each plan.
Pricing can get a little overwhelming due to the sheer number of plans and pricing bands on offer, but a few minutes of looking and you will know exactly what is going on.
