Hostiserver is a high quality hosting company that is focused on providing the best VPS and dedicated hosting solutions to all types of customers. They have three data centers, one in Phoenix, AZ and one in the Netherlands. These data centers are equipped with redundant network and power to help prevent any type of unplanned outages. In addition to the normal hosting, they also provide file backup services. This service is for storing any type of files you have on their servers so they are nice and safe. They can even take full backup copies of a website hosted on another company server so if something happens to that company, you won’t lose the entire site. Overall this is a good company to work with if you need high end hosting for your medium to large site that gets a good amount of traffic.
You will have access to very stable hosting no matter which data center you choose, or what type of hosting. The data centers themselves come with fully redundant network and power connections as well as on site replacement parts in the event that something goes down. Most people who have used, or are currently using this company for hosting are very happy with the quality of hosting they are getting, and don’t have any complaints about the stability of their pages.
Just as you will see with most companies that provide only higher end hosting, you will have everything you need included with the package you order. They provide plenty of disk space, bandwidth and hardware to support just about any type of site you may be running. They also have a number of operating systems to choose from, free IPv6 addresses. Overall the type of features offered are not anything special, but there isn’t anything missing either. This is because with VPS and dedicated servers you have more control over the server so you can put almost whatever you want on it.
The support provided by the technical teams is quite good, but there is no phone number to call for it. You have to use their support ticket system, which does get good results. The biggest problem with the support from this company is that it is not free or unlimited. When you sign up you will get a total of three hours of free support (beyond the initial setup). If you exceed that amount, you get charged $30 per hour for any additional support that they provide.
This company has packages available at just about every price point for VPS servers ranging from $15 per month to $140. The dedicated servers start at $130 per month and go up to $299. In addition to the hardware itself impacting price the location will have an impact too. You can choose from either the US or the Netherlands for hosting for both VPS and dedicated servers.
While this company isn’t likely going to be the right choice for smaller sites with little traffic, they are great for those that are busier. They are focused on quality hosting more than anything, which is exactly what most busier sites are going to be looking for. Pros:
