Netfirms PLUS® Web Hosting Plan Review

For quite some years now, Netfirms has remained King of kings when it comes to offering low priced domains ($7.99 for the first year) without any catch whatsoever and with quite an array of freebies to go with them ;-) .

When it comes to web hosting, they don’t really freak me that much and that’s the reason why I decided to settle for Hostgator to host this blog.

NOTE: This is not a sponsored post/review. I’ve NEVER hosted a single site/blog with Netfirms and thus this review is based on my analysis of their offer. By the way, I host my domain with Netfirms ;-)

Here are 4 important things you ought to know should in case you wish to go for Netfirms Plus® Hosting plan.

Netfirms PLUS® Web Hosting Plan Review

  1. With access to ONLY ONE MySQL 5+ Database, this plan is for folks looking to build HTML static sites or a small time blog. There’s no room to host scripts such as URL shortners and autoresponders which require databases of their own. If you wish to host such scripts, you’re better off with the Advantage and Business plans which offer 2 and 5 free domain names respectively as a plus.
  2. For $4.95/month, you get 10GB of disk space and 500GB of bandwidth. What’s kinda great about this is that, you already know your limits from the get go unlike some hosts that offer UNLIMITED WEB HOSTING with a catch which is only visible in their Terms of Conditions (which of course most folks don’t read ;-D). Example Hostgator makes use of inodes. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode. Once you use more than 250,000 inodes on a shared hosting environment, the chances of your account getting suspended are HIGH! So much for UNLIMITED DISK SPACE!
  3. With Clustered Hosting which seems to a Netfirms Exclusive, your site/blog is always up and fast no matter how busy the traffic gets.
  4. Finally you don’t have access to cron jobs which in turn means that you can set certain tasks or scripts to run automatically at a given point in time e.g self hosted autoresponders.

I hope this review helps you in your decision to host with Netfirms. You can check out other hosting plans @ their main site.

    Very informative text. I’ve found your blog by accident but I’m really happy that i did. You have some really good info on here

  2. Their Netfirms Plus package offers 10 GB in storage space and 500 GB in monthly bandwidth, which is good for starting out. Most websites can outgrow these totals within a few months though. Luckily, the Netfirms Advantage package is only a few dollars extra and offers a lot more storage space and monthly bandwidth. There are other features added and increased to justify the larger price tag.
