About
Netfirms
In less than five years, Netfirms
has become one of the fastest growing Web Hosting companies in the
world. They currently host over 1,200,000 Websites and that number
increases every minute. Started in 1998, Netfirms is committed to
providing feature heavy hosting packages for the lowest prices.
Netfirms
Technology:
Netfirms uses a cluster of servers to handle the needs of their
Websites. This kind of advanced technology is the same used by Fortune
500 corporations because it eliminates dependency on any one server.
The multi-server method improves response time, site availability
and concurrency. If ever one server goes down, the others pick up
the extra work load, thus providing 99.9% uptime.
Strengths
of Netfirm Web Hosting:
Well established company
and growing rapidly, Netfirms hosts over 1,000,000 small business
Websites. They offer every customer Free Website design software
(award-winning NetObjects), 24/7 LIVE customer service (phone, e-mail,
chat) and services are always improving. Netfirms is offering 2 Domain names for Life with advantage package and 5 Domains for Life with Business package.
Netfirm
Weaknesses:
Free domain Names are only for Advantage ($9.95) plan or higher. Basic
(free) plan is limited with only 1 E-mail account (domain name required),
and it doesn't include MySQL databases or Multimedia and PHP support.
Conclusion:
Netfirms hosting service is a great deal at a great price. Not only
does Netfirms provide good value for money, but they continue to
improve all their services. For example, they have recently dramatically
increased their monthly bandwidth and storage for the Advantage
and Business plan, added Free
Web design software, a Free Domain Name and an easy to use Shopping
cart tool.
Customer
Reviews:
I
have been extremely impressed with Netfirms. I've worked with other
hosting companies, but they have always disappointed me in more
ways than one. Netfirms uptime, support and price are just unbeatable.
- Jane
I have
two websites hosted by Netfirms (miamitutor.com and statisticshelp.us)
and I am thrilled with the quality of Netfirms' product and service.
