First, I SWEAR epic fast cPanel setup, before I went to lo...More g in to my Gmail, The login details of cPanel already reached my mailbox. Epic fast! Other companies I have tried, NameCheap or HostGator. Are very slow, Gator is okay. They set up fast... But NameCheap takes 2 hours to set up the cPanel. Interserver speeds are super fast, their server is epic fast. Like real SSD's, I really like it. I MEAN pay 0.01$ and use it for the first month. ONLY 0.01$ from PayPal I think you should try it. It's really good... Less

They take ages to get back in touch with users, and whey they do so they do not even assist one in solving the problem, infact, they escalate it. Even their so called live web support chat is a joke as they take hours before replying to a query. I wonder how they'll treat me after several months. Less

Bottom Line
Max Ostryzhko Senior Web Developer, HostAdvice CTO InterServer may not be the most familiar name in the web hosting industry, but the company has been on the market for many years now, since 1999. It is experienced, with efficient service, and great features. And the best thing – you get this for a relatively affordable price. They have a wide range of different packages available, so whether you are looking to host a simple personal blog, or you need hosting for a large corporate website, they can handle it all. InterServer is a privately owned hosting company, with a high-end data center located in New Jersey. Over the years they have bought many other hosting companies, which has allowed them to build a nationwide fiber network. This is quite an accomplishment and gives their customers access to extremely fast connections with exceptional reliability. In addition to their great hosting packages, they also offer collocation services and domain registration. Winner! See plans and pricing www.interserver.net
