Uptime & Reliability

No guarantees but Hosting Seems Stable

No guarantees are visible on the site’s pages and I was unable to find Iberica’s terms of service or any statement that included availability.  As I’ve noticed the absence of these claims on other international hosting companies’ websites, I strongly suspect that this is more of a cultural issue than a performance one.  It could well be that the “best effort for availability” is assumed rather than requiring a guarantee in writing.

Features

Generous features

One thing that stands out on Iberica’s site; hosting services are offered 100% free for 15 days to allow potential customers to determine what package they require and to learn if Iberica has the capability to deliver to their expectations.

Mail exchange is listed as a new service with different packages offered based on the number of users.  Unlike many other mail providers, Iberica uses the full power of Microsoft Exchange to allow the maximum benefit of collaboration using calendars, email, and sharing contacts via cloud services.

Web hosting is offered in three different levels, from the individual blogger or storefront business to a package that should support a medium-sized firm.

Dedicated servers are available in Linux and Windows and the variety of CPU power and memory permits any size customer to find a server that will fit their needs. No setup fees are charged on any dedicated server bundle. VPS is offered in Linux only and has the abundant choices found in the dedicated server offerings.

Streaming audio service performs at 128 bps and comes in different capabilities for as little as 25 all the way up to 200 listeners. AutoDJ software comes with all selections.

Support

Good support in Local Language

One feature that Iberica offers is that they have customer service staff that speak Castilian, a dialect of Spanish that is native to the central region of Spain.  This could be a big draw to Castilian-speaking customers, just as I prefer that I speak to an American English speaker when I call a support center over someone who has a different native language; it makes it that much easier to communicate.

No support services other than phone and email are offered on any of the pages, but it is quite possible that more options available for customers once they sign in to their Iberia account.

Pricing

Good prices

Iberica does a nice job of offering their products at levels suited for just about any need.  Web mail starts at just €5.00 ($5.30 USD) per month for up to 10+ clients.

Web hosting prices range from €2.15-€7.15 ($2.28-7.58 USD) monthly for different size accounts, but all come with unlimited bandwidth and email accounts.

VPS packages start at €20.48 ($21.72) monthly for an account with 512 MB RAM with one CPU to €62.62 ($66.41 USD).

Dedicated servers start at €74.00 ($78.48 USD) per month for a single CPU platform and go up to € 195.50 ($207.35 USD) for a server that has a total of 16 CPU’s.

Streaming services start at €10.00 ($10.61 USD) for 250 GB of hosting and go up to €30 ($USD 31.82) a month for 1 TB of hosting.

Summary

Well-run organization with quality hosting
