Primeroweb, website hosting

Primeroweb, website hosting: Overview: Primeroweb has been in the hosting industry for almost eight years. They have a solid track record of more than 20,000 current sites. Primeroweb provides Unix based Budget and E-Commerce Hosting to their clients.

When last we reviewed Primeroweb (February of 2005) our Independent Review Panel was impressed with everything they had to offer and found no major problems, and is happy that they have maintained their track record in a recent re-look.

Each Primeroweb hosting plan includes a lot of monthly data transfer and features. Features include PHP, MySQL, Real Media, Macromedia Flash and Shockwave, SSI, CGI-BIN, Perl, Java, IP address, and more.

The features and monthly data transfer are very good by themselves, but what is even more impressive is that all shared hosting plans with Primeroweb are virtual private servers. Even the $6.95 a month plan is in a VPS configuration. What this means to the customer is your site is isolated from other sites that are hosted on the same server. If a site on your server crashes it only effects them. Also resources are divided up among the server accounts. Instead of sharing resources with others, you get your own dedicated amount.

Primeroweb offers above average 24/7 email support that is fairly speedy. Their support staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They combine that with extended coverage of the phones to get a great score in Support.

Primeroweb has one of the most comprehensive Online Manuals we have seen. It contains several chapters on running every component of your hosting package, it also includes answers to simple questions and instructions.

Primeroweb also carries a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee, which includes everything, but Domain Name registration fees.

On Their Support
“So much of the hosting industry is centered around price, space, and bandwidth. Although you will generally not find lower prices or resources elsewhere, we feel it is much more important to offer a level of service that exceeds both industry standards, and the expectations of a wide range of clients with all levels of hosting knowledge. This is why at Primeroweb you will be able to contact a world-class team of technicians and engineers offering REAL SUPPORT 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year via toll free phone, instant live chat and rapid-reply e-mail.”

On Their Security
“Perimeter fencing, green field space, card access, biometric entries, and mantraps all work to prevent unauthorized access. Because access to our Data Center isn’t only physical, we have provided an unparalleled level of security and protection to our network.

Our facilities support host-based virus protection, firewalls, real-time security alerting using intrusion detection scanners (IDS), and 24 hour monitoring from our Network Operations Center (NOC). Any potentially malicious activity can be curbed well before it happens.”
