I’m a programmer (fortune 100 company). I have moved several of my friend’s and non-profit organization sites to StartLogic. Your service is great. DEPENDABLE! Bandwidth is excellent. I want to put a “hosted by StartLogic logo” on the top left of my sites as a link to yours.

Thank you!

- Bradley Z.


Stephanie, in the StartLogic Sales Group, had a deeper understanding of web hosting issues and solutions than all the Tech Support people at my previous web hosting vendor.

- Nathan Smith


I am a new proud affiliate of your program. I have used your services for about 2 years now and am extremely impressed with your service. I own a web development company in Orlando Florida and always insist that my clients use StartLogic. I have joined the affiliate program and am preparing to sign up my third client up for you today. I understand that I will profit 100 US dollars for signing this client with you.

- David Janosik


After signing up with StartLogic as our host provider, our website was able to join the world wide web instantly. The customer support staffs went out of their way to help not only representing our website as it should be, but also giving us hints on how to achieve our “hits counter” effectively on the web. It is a great service for start up businesses.

Everyone at StartLogic has been very helpful getting my web site on line. When I signed up for your service, it was amazing how fast my web site was put on line and how many inquiries I got within the first few days.

Thanks……..

- Ellen


I have been using a competitor for three years now and decided I have had enough. I have been paying them three times as much as your service cost and never talk with real people. Your control panel is the best I have ever seen. I had my site transfered and configured in 3 days.

Thanks for being there.

P.S. I have already talked three of my friends to transfer over to you also.

- Sam T.


I received wonderful support from your side, especially from Steve, I very much appreciate his service and quick and fast response and willing to help. He was accurate in his answers and brilliant in speed and help. I wish I could have such support and supporter all the time from all the companies I’m dealing with.

Many thanks again.

- Silvester Petras


Please tell your staff how impressed I am with the service I received so far. I initiated a web hosting contract using your web site sign up sheet the night before last. My domain name is already in place and I already have all the information I need to get started with my business web site. If this is any indication of the kind of service and support you provide your customers, I am looking forward to a good long-term relationship with your company. Your service is a good value at a good price.

Thank you for the fast response.

- Terry I.

1&1 Review

1&1.com is a giant web hosting company. They have almost 6 million customers and more than 2,400 employees, and in excess of 37,000 servers. You’ve probably seen their 10+ page ads in magazines or heard about them from friends or colleagues. They are definitely an industry leader and a well known company in the web hosting industry.

1&1 offers a few main service types: domain registration, mail hosting, Linux hosting, Windows hosting, virtual private servers, dedicated servers, eshops, and Microsoft Sharepoint hosting. This review will discuss the pros and cons of 1&1 as a Linux hosting provider.

The company’s offerings are quite inexpensive. 1&1 offers a lot of space and bandwidth for very little money. You have to pay six months in advance for many of the plans, but the six months of their least expensive plan still comes out to be less than $20. Be sure to read the order and refund terms carefully. 1&1 will try to lock you in for longer if you choose some of their special offers.

Each account includes plenty of email accounts, databases, a control panel, a 90 day money back guarantee, and 24/7 support.

I called their sales department and the office was closed due to weather. I gave up trying to reach technical support representative over the phone after waiting on hold for more than 10 minutes. Their hold queue didn’t tell me when I should have expected my call to be answered, so who knows how long it takes to get through to a human. Among bigger web hosting companies, support seems to be the worst aspect. 1&1 doesn’t seem to be an exception in that regard.

An email sent at 11:07 PM on Friday the 16th got an answer at 3:26 AM on Tuesday, March 20, 2007.

Bigger web hosts have their advantages, though. The main ones that apply to 1&1 are: they have a top notch data center and network and lots of partnerships with interesting companies. Furthermore, you don’t have to worry about the company disappearing or going under and there is always someone to turn to if there are serious problems.

1&1’s partnerships range from being an ICANN accredited domain registrar to having partnerships with companies like Google (for ads) and Plesk (for control panels). A lot of these partnerships have helped 1&1 develop its marketing center, which offers discounts and vouchers on major web sites and tools like Google Adwords or Microsoft Adcenter to 1&1 customers. These offers add a lot of value to the accounts and can make a difference for someone starting out on the web.

The company’s custom control panel isn’t bad. It offers all of the expected features and has some nice add-ons that aren’t typically found in control panels. Most of the features, including billing, can be easily managed via the control panel, which has one login.

The control panel features a whole bunch of tools ranging from blog systems (a custom WordPress install) to web site builders to statistics programs and everything in between. Most of the little applications are pretty user friendly and will easily serve the needs of a newbie or an average web site owner. Each one has its own customization options and can be customized to a certain extent.

In my tests, FTP access was pretty quick and problem free. 1&1 likes to assign every install and many folders an odd series of letters and numbers as identifiers. This annoyed me personally, but was easy enough to get used to and understand.

Getting used to the control panel is not difficult. After a few minutes of playing around with, I was able to get a good idea of how it worked and was up and running. If you aren’t sure how to do something, 1&1 offers a lot of in-depth help articles and tutorials. I was able to get answers to a majority of my simple questions by looking at these documents.

Would I use 1&1 personally? No. Would I recommend them to a new web site owner who was just looking to get started and didn’t want to spend too much money? Most likely. As they say, you get what you pay for – and with 1&1, there is definitely a lot of value for your $20 a year.

Bottomline: For people new to the world of web site creation and hosting, 1&1 is a solid choice if your web site is not mission critical
Pros: Powerful control panel with lots of features, inexpensive pricing, useful marketing tools
Cons: Lack of customer service, some sneaky terms in ordering process

BlueHost Review

I was excited to write a review about BlueHost, mainly because I’ve heard a lot of good things about them. With so many web hosts, and so few (good and honest) reviews, it’s really hard to tell who’s good and who isn’t.

From looking at the BlueHost.com web site, the company appears to be a serious and professional web host. A visually appealing web site, clearly posted contact information, lots of awards (from legitimate places), and grammatically correct text on site, all help make BlueHost seem like a formidable web host. A great feature (that seems to be awfully rare) is that BlueHost provides a demo of their control panel (a very slightly customized cPanel using the X skin) that actually works and isn’t impossible to find. It’s a great feature that allows you to review how cPanel works if you aren’t familiar with it.

BlueHost Features and Pricing

The features BlueHost provides seem pretty standard (nothing lacking) with all of the expected features of a web host such as cPanel, multiple database support, FTP, email, etc. BlueHost’s one (the only one I could find, at least) package features 300 GB of diskspace, and 3,000 GB of bandwidth. There’s a limited number of databases (50 each for MySQL and Postgre) and more FTP and email accounts than you could ever use (1,000 and 5,000, respectively). Unlimited numbers of addon domains, parked domains, and subdomains are given. Pricing varies depending how long you sign up for:

  • 3 Months: $9.95/month + $30.00 Setup + Domain ($10.00 if purchased from BlueHost)
  • 6 Months: $8.95/month + $30.00 Setup + Domain ($10.00 if purchased from BlueHost)
  • 12 Months: $7.95/month (no setup fee, free domain included)
  • 24 Months: $6.95/month (no setup fee, free domain included)

I have never been a big fan of a minimum of three months contract, and you do have to click around (to the second step in their order process, actually) just to find out the price. Ignoring the minimum contract length, pricing is quite competitive.

Terms of Service

BlueHost has a very unique Terms of Service - there’s no legal jargon at all. It’s just some bullet points on a page with the major points included in most Terms of Service agreements. The shady point is “All activities may be monitored, recorded, and examined by any authorized person, including law enforcement.” with a semi-shady “Any violation found or fraudulent activity that system personnel deem inappropriate may have your account immediately terminated without notice and any recorded evidence reported to authorized persons.” However, in fairness to BlueHost, the points are quite clear, and not hidden within a 10 page agreement.

cPanel Control Panel

Two clicks later, I was into my control panel. If you know about cPanel, you can probably skip this paragraph. It’s all very standard. You have the same SQL, subdomain, email, etc. features as every other cPanel. There’s a few nice addons such as a domain manager, a sitebuilder, and some options to manage your account (basically, it just logs you into their billing system, but still convenient). BlueHost has Fantastico, which from what I saw, was up-to-date with the latest stable versions of all of the scripts. The cPanel went very fast and did everything it was supposed to do.

Script Installation

Like a lot of cPanel hosts, BlueHost supports addon domains. I set up a few addon domains, and everything worked well, and without any problems. BlueHost doesn’t allow SSH/Shell Access by default, but says it will enable shell access for your account if you fax a copy of your driver’s license, passport, etc. to them. I installed some basic scripts (a blog, a CMS, a forum) without any problems. Speed was about average, and BlueHost seems to keep up in terms of software updates and the like.

BlueHost Support

I called their support department using their toll-free number. I was talking to someone within about 30 seconds after dialing. I asked some basic questions: Do you support mod_rewrite (Yes), do you support mod_security (didn’t know, but checked), and do you keep your Fantastico up-to-date with the latest versions (Yes)? Support was nice enough, and keep to know what they were talking about. The representative obviously wasn’t reading from a prompt (no delay with answers).

I decided to test the BlueHost support out with some more complicated issues that an average webmaster may run across. I was caller #2, and had to wait about a minute or two. I spoke to a different representative (meaning they have more than one tech on duty, always nice) and asked does BlueHost support PHP5 (they have two servers that do, and can move your account if needed), if they support Ruby on Rails (nope), and if I should use ‘localhost’ as my host name with the script I was trying to install (Yes). I reworded the questions slightly and sent them to BlueHost support via email at 4:50 PM on a Monday. By 5:17 PM, I had a helpful response.

All and all, BlueHost seems like a good web host. The company certainly has their act together and by all means can be labelled as a top quality web host with great features and support.

Pros: Good control panel (cPanel) with a few nice extras, plenty of space and bandwidth, good support, fair pricing
Cons: Semi-shady points in TOS (nothing too major, and clearly outlined), 3 month minimum contract length, pricing is relatively hard to find
Bottomline
: BlueHost is a good web host that provides a good hosting experience with a top-of-the-line control panel as well as helpful support for a reasonable price.

Easy CGI Review

Easy CGI is by most standards, a fairly large host. Founded in 1994 as an ISP (the hosting section came four years later), they’ve prided themselves on providing word class support and services. At first glance, Easy CGI’s web site isn’t bad - it’s easy to navigate, easy to get information, and all of the things you’d expect from a web site. While EasyCGI.com not visually stunning, it does work.

From what I observed, everything seems pretty conventional with the Easy CGI. Pricing is about average for a budget host, The company’s Terms of Use is pretty standard, and there doesn’t appear to be any hidden or crazy things they get you to agree to or buy. Easy CGI seems straight forward, and seem to do a good job of communicating this. It’s nice to deal with a web host knowing they aren’t trying to rip you off.

The proof is in the pud. The Easy CGI control panel (which has no name, it’s just “Control Panel”) seems pretty generic in terms of features. It’s a little slow and clunky compared to cPanel, DirectAdmin, or the other major control panels, but it manages to get the job done without too many hassles. There’s definitely a learning curve if you’re used to the other major control panels (mainly because of layout, different wording, etc.) and with almost literally no graphics, the control panel is pretty ugly, but again, still functional. Within about 15 minutes, I was using it without any problems.

A nice thing is that Easy CGI supports lots of databases (MySQL, MsSQL, ODBC). They allow you to change the A, MX, and CNAME records from your control panel, and of course, do all of the standard email/FTP things. Webmail and stats somewhat lack, but again, are functional. FTP was pretty quick and worked without any problems. I managed to install some basic scripts (a forum system, a CMS, etc.) without any problems. There were some slight confusions with the host name (most of the time it’s localhost, but Easy CGI seems to use a different server for SQL, which is good). Once installed, everything ran fine.

There’s no separate billing systems you have to deal with, which makes things easier and far less confusing. The billing functions are straight forward, easy-to-update, and simple enough. You can add/remove services, upgrade plans/features, view invoices, etc. all from your control panel, which means less hassles. There’s a built in ticket system, which seems simple enough, as well as some basic tutorials and a knowledge base.

From my experience, Easy CGI support was pretty good. I managed to figure out what I needed on my own. I didn’t really need them, but no review is complete without support contact. I called technical support and was speaking to a human about 20 seconds after dialing. Two simple questions–do you support mod_rewrite (Yes) and do you run Windows or Linux (Windows)–were answered quickly and politely. I sent the same questions via email (at noon EST) and got a helpful reply within 3 hours–pretty good for a Sunday.

Pros: Good database support, easy to contact technical support, near total control over domain/web site, fair prices and practices.
Cons
: Not visually stunning, no amazingly unique features.
Bottomline
: Easy CGI is a straight forward host that provides everything expected with a few nice pluses all for a fair price with pretty good service and reliability.

1&1 Professional eShop

1&1 Professional eShop

click here to visit 1and1

1&1 has been marketing its domain registration business aggressively in recent months, but the company offers a lot more than basic domain registration packages. It also provides complete Web- and e-commerce–hosting services with a custom site builder, although we found its capabilities to be less ideal for smaller businesses and e-commerce novices than some of the other services in this roundup. In particular, 1&1 offers only a limited degree of integration between the Web site and e-commerce components of its service, and you’ll need to generate your own HTML to make more than the most basic changes to your pages.

Most businesses that want to set up e-commerce sites with 1&1 will need to purchase two plans: a Web-hosting plan and a separate e-commerce plan. (We tested with the Business Package Linux Hosting plan.) We had to manage noncommerce content on our test site completely differently from the store itself, using a different interface and tools and with only limited opportunities to tie the two together.

To create the content side of your 1&1 online presence, you can use the provided WebsiteCreator tool. The basic version allows up to 18 pages; if you want more, you’ll need to add $9.99 a month for WebsiteCreator Plus, which gives you unlimited pages plus additional interactive features like polls and forums.

WebsiteCreator helped us get a basic site up and running quickly and easily. We selected one of the 120 available layouts and then used WebsiteCreator’s nifty browser-based WYSIWYG editing tool to customize the content. WebsiteCreator uses JavaScript effectively to make the browser-based tool feel much like a traditional application with menus and even right-clickable context menus.

WebsiteCreator also includes the unique ability to custom generate Flash animations that combine visual effects with content. If you want to use Flash on your e-commerce site—which we don’t generally recommend—1&1’s approach is far less time-consuming than building a Flash presentation by hand.

On the store side, the Professional eShop plan we tested allows up to 200 products in up to 20 categories. Managing categories and products is easy, but we found bulk-importing a product list to be far more challenging here than it was with other services we tested.
