Looking for a reputable host for your website can be difficult. You might even try a couple of services to find what truly is the best. Arvixe is a host I came across with and I happen to list down all the experiences I had with them.

I own an online business and I am aware that every business needs an excellent web host. Just like other online business owners, I need to consider all factors that will make me succeed. One in particular, is how the users will access my website. I don’t want a lot of downtime and want to have my website running smoothly, every second of the day.

With months of study about online users, I have known that uptime and downtime both affect sales. This is why I look for a host who will guarantee me a very good uptime. With the great offers of Arvixe as a web host, I tried it. And for six months of using its service, here’s what I’ve found.

 

GREAT FEATURES

Arvixe became popular because of its wide-ranging hosting package that is ideal for online businesses. It provides shared, VPS, and dedicated hosting. It supports Linux Hosting, ASP .NET Hosting, Business Hosting, as well as Reseller Hosting. Among its offers include UNLIMITED disk space, data transfer, email accounts, and domains. Additionally, it offers a site builder, an online store, easy control panel, and 24/7 based U.S. based phone support. The service costs as low as $4/month.

 

Advantages

• 99.9% Site Uptime– This one of my major considerations why I have invested with Arvixe. Uptime is how your website is displayed for use. It shows how your website becomes available for an access. When your website is having some technical problems – having a trouble to its access – it might be experiencing a downtime. You will be informed when this occurs.   Time to time, I monitor my website to assure that it’s working the way I expect it to be. With Arvixe as my web host, I had this great feature. Yes, I have encountered several problems along the way, but it’s really minimal. After all, there’s no web host that’s perfect.

• Website Transfer– I was working with a different web host before I decided to transfer to Arvixe. I was so glad that the service did the work for me. I know how difficult and time-consuming to transfer website files from one web host to another and I’m so grateful that Arvixe managed all those daunting work – all for at no cost! I was so glad not to pay any amount for this service.

• Automatic Setup- I didn’t wait for too long to have my service going. I started working with them a couple minutes, right after the billing. Yes, a couple minutes is all it takes for the service to set up my virtual hosting account.

• 60 Day Money Back Guarantee– This another wonderful feature why I wasn’t afraid to have a business with Arvixe. According to its service, I can cancel my account anytime within the first 60 days of the service. They said, it is a full refund. Of all the web hosting services I have encountered, nothing I’ve ever seen such grant. So if you don’t want their service, you can just cancel it and have your all money back – no questions asked.

• 24 Hour Support- Before I discuss the problems I have encountered while using the Arvixe service, I will first tell you what happens when I encounter them. It is usual to ask the help of the service provider when you encounter a problem. And I tell you, at times that I’m faced with dilemmas, I can call the service any time of the day. In a few seconds I had their support group giving me remedies to address the problem.

 

Disadvantages

• Response Time– Sometimes, I have problems with how the service responds to requests. This is what I’m so afraid of that when a customer tries to purchase my products, my website isn’t working well. This happens often with Arvixe and I’m still having trouble with this.

• New in the Market– I’m just thinking this might be a big problem when working with them. I’m still working with Arvixe and I know I haven’t yet experienced all possible problems with my website. The thing is, being a new might mean you lack experience. In a logical way of thinking, the reason why they have several problems with response time is because they are still unaware of how to solve the problem. They might be doing some trial-and-error processes to address this problem.
