ImHosted WebHosting Review

ImHosted is one of the many web hosting services available on the Internet, leasing server space to individuals or businesses who wish to run websites without having to set up and maintain their own servers.

ImHosted provides a hosting service mainly for small to medium sized businesses and offers a standard unlimited package of 2.5TB of data storage and 20TB of bandwidth for $6.95 per month. This package comes with a number of essential services for web businesses, including POP3/IMAP email accounts, SPAM/Virus protection and secure webmail logins. There is also the option to set up ecommerce services, and offer your clients Authorize.net and Paypal support.

With gold account packages, starting at $30 a month, customers have a number of unlimited options, such as the ability to host unlimited domains under one account login and unlimited POP3/IMAP email accounts, mailing lists and FTP accounts. You will also be able to monitor each subdomain’s disk and bandwidth usage using the site’s Webhost Manager Software. This state of the art software allows you complete control over your website, so that you can set up or delete hosting accounts, change passwords and quotas and amend frontpage extensions. These extensions are a vital part of website creation, as they allow the website administrator to control file/folder maintenance (moving, deleting or renaming), communicate with the server and keep track of multiple author and their contributions on the website.

ImHosted.com run a 128 Bit SSL secure server which utilizes encryption technology to protect the transfer of both you and your client’s personal data, and is ideal for ecommerce hosting. These servers are powered by top of the range Dual Intel® Quad-Core XEON processors, with content accelerating software from IntenseSpeed and HyperSpace Communications. This means that the ImHosted servers are fast and efficient, ensuring the maximum uptime for your website (a guaranteed 99.5%), with high transaction rates and improved site loading times.

The control panels available from the ImHosted packages are easy to use and customizable, allowing you full control of your websites. Through the panel you can managed your email accounts, passwords, statistics and also monitor your resources (such as disk space and bandwidth). Also they provide you with a variety of control panels themes to install, so that you can personalize your control panel to suit your own design agenda.

ImHosted.com offers 24×7 customer support for all its account holders, maintained by a team of network engineers and support representatives. If you want to talk to a representative face to face, there is also a telephone helpdesk available from 9am – 5pm Mondays through to Fridays. ImHosted aim to reply to standard queries within one working day, but more complex or technical matters can take longer to resolve. They also provide an 24hr e-support service, which answers many of the frequently asked questions, and gives a good range of tutorials on how to use the site’s many software options.

They provide a standard industry service, with a good guaranteed uptime of 99.9%, and also a 30 day money back guarantee if you are unsatisfied with the service, (although this will not include a refund of the set up fees in most cases). So I recommend to get a package from them to host your websites.
