Interserver Review: A Great Way to Start your Online Presence

Whether you're just starting off as a newbie trying to create a website online to a freshly graduated college student creating a resume website or an up-and-coming streamer trying to make a name for yourself: everyone needs a website.

Choosing where to host – heck, even what to host on your website can be incredibly complicated. With all the buzz about many companies offering to start hosting your website, it's hard to find one that will actually deliver. Let's take an in-depth look at one of those company's offerings: Interserver.

Web hosting is one of the simplest services available for newbies trying to create their own website. This service provides a very easy way to setup managed WordPress sites, along with a variety of other means of standard website setup. At Interserver, when signing up for web hosting, you have over 460 scripts available to instantly turn your website into a fully functional blog, video sharing platform, wiki, whatever you want! And to boot, Interserver also offers unlimited SSD storage, unlimited e-mail accounts, free SSL certificates, free website migration, and free global CDN (provided by Cloudflare). What more could you ask for, all starting at $2.50 per month.

Interserver provides many different VPS options, ranging from standard linux VPSes to ones that have Windows or Windows Server installed, one-click Wordpress installs, and they even have storage optimized servers which allow you to have large amounts of cloud storage with compute to run workloads that, for example, require large amounts of video storage but need little compute.

Some great uses for these servers include running websites, custom game servers, and even a dedicated high performance cloud computer running Windows that you can remote into whenever and wherever you need it!

In addition to VPS plans that have large amounts of block storage, Interserver also offers object storage service, similar to AWS S3. This service comes in at a reasonable price that includes many different methods to store and retrieve data, such as FTP, SSH, RSync, and many others. This service is competitive with the likes of Backblaze B2 due to transfer being included in the price of the monthly storage allotment. This is a great product to help encourage backups of all your data for a low monthly cost.

You can find Interserver's Object Storage offering on their main page.

Some other services that Interserver offers includes the option for dedicated servers. These servers are great for high traffic websites, highly-utilized database servers, and other needs that require high amounts of sustained compute power and high network throughput. If you have a server, Interserver can provide colocation services at many of their datacenters.

Additionally, they provide hosted e-mail for your domain at a fraction of the cost that competing solutions, such as Google or Microsoft do. You can purchase a domain and setup email all through the Interserver console to get a custom you@yourdomain.com e-mail address!

Finally, they also include a free site builder with their standard web hosting plan, eliminating the need for you to create your own website by hand. Simply use the builder to create custom, professional looking websites in minutes!

Interserver has been in business for 22 years, earning praise from many customers and businesses around the world. They have a 99.9% uptime guarantee with a fast and responsive customer service.

But don't just take my word for it! Go try it yourself!
