Background
EasyCGI was founded in 1998 after running a successful regional Internet Service Provider since 1994. Boasting over 10 years of experience providing internet services, EasyCGI has grown into a globally competitive web hosting provider offering three tiers of shared hosting services which are suitable for a wide range of individuals and companies looking to host websites ranging from simple to complex. Recently EasyCGI has switched data centers from Nyack NY to Pearl River NY to provide room for expansion and growth to customers.
Selling Points
All shared hosting packages available from EasyCGI are hosted on Windows machines providing access to ASP, ASP.NET, Coldfusion, MySQL, MSSQL and MS Access. EasyCGI also utilizes their own hosting control panel which is different than control panels offered by other hosting buisnesses.
EasyCGI provides hosting options which allow maximum flexibility with your website. Accounts starting at only $7.96 per month offer a very generous 3000MB (3GB) of disk space, 50GB of data transfer and you can also add 50 POP3 email accounts to get your buisness started. Your website will be hosted on a very powerful machine with minimum specifications of Intel 3.0GHz / 1GB RAM, each server will utilize backup power should a problem arise and will be powered by Microsoft Windows 2000, in my opinion the most stable windows operating system. EasyCGI also offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee on all web hosting packages.
For advanced webmasters, EasyCGI also offers server colocation. They can accomodate any type of machine including desktop and tower style machines and offer some nice free perks such as free reboots and power cycles, server monitoring and free overnight shipping for your server to their data center so that you can get your buisness online fast. The cost to colocate a server with 10GB of data transfer and 16 ip addresses is $79.96/month on a yearly contract but the thing that I find unfortunate is that you are unable to prepay for more bandwidth or purchase additional bandwidth without upgrading to a different package, the website also doesn't state what the cost for overage is, etc. It would definately be better if more details were posted on this site.
Support
EasyCGI provides many options for easy contact should a problem arise and you require technical assistance. Toll free telephone support is available from 9am - 5pm EST by calling 1-866-EASY-CGI, this is the fastest way to get answers to any pre sales or support questions you may have. |
