A Complete Certified Hosting Review
The concept of the World Wide Web is achieved through efficient and reliable network connections, powerful servers and website hosting companies. Without any one of these elements, the Internet would not exist. There are many website hosting firms that help clients to create and maintain a strong online presence, and Certified Hosting in one of them. Below is a review of this web hosting firm.
Hosting Packages
Certified Hosting offers three hosting plans: Dork, Geek and Nerd. These packages are ideal for different types of individuals.
Dork: This is a simple plan designed for low traffic websites, such as blogs. The dork hosting package comes with unlimited disc space and bandwidth as well as hosting for a single domain. While users may share a single IP address, the service is affordable, hence suitable for startups. If users need more features or a dedicated IP address, they can always upgrade to a more powerful hosting plan.
Geek: This is a hosting plan for sites that are well-established. It comes with all the standard basic features, including; unlimited disc space and bandwidth. In this package, clients can host an unlimited number of domains in the same account. This is a very popular package for business, where the main site and several blogs can be hosted in the same account. Upgrading is also possible.
Nerd: In addition to unlimited bandwidth and storage space, the nerd hosting package also comes with unlimited domains and a dedicated IP address. After signing up for this plan, clients are given one free IP address. They also get a free SSL, which means that the package offers better security. Websites that handle sensitive user information, such as names, addresses and credit card information of customers are best hosted through the nerd hosting plan.
All these packages come with free FTP accounts for easy management of website content. New clients can benefit from the 30-day money back guarantee offered by Certified Hosting if they are not satisfied with the service within one month.
