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.
Netfirm Weaknesses:
Free domain Name is only for
Advantage ($9.95) plan or higher. Basic (Plus) plan is limited with
only 10 E-mail account (domain name required), and it doesn't include
MySQL databases or Multimedia. However, Domain name costs only $4.95.
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. -

I have
two websites hosted by Netfirms (miamitutor.com and
statisticshelp.us) and I am thrilled with the quality of Netfirms'
product and service. - Joaquin
