About
EasyCGI
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.
Unique
Hosting Options
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. To take a tour of their unique
control panel please visit ( http://www.easycgi.com/hcpanel_tour.html

Benefits
of Hosting with EasyCGI
EasyCGI
provides hosting options which allow maximum flexibility with
your website. Accounts starting at only $7.96
per month offer a very generous 100 GB of disk space, 1000 GB 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 co-location. 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 250GB 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.
EasyCGI

EasyCGI's
Website
I was
able to easily navigate the website and quickly found information
on shared hosting packages and other services offered by EasyCGI.
The design is nice and clean, and also provides a nice features
and price plan comparison to help you decide which package
is just right for you.
Conclusion
EasyCGI has excellent packages for people seeking shared hosting solutions,
providing more than enough data transfer and diskspace backed
by a 99.9% network uptime guarantee and access
to powerful website tools you should have a stable
website within no time. I also like the look of their unique
control panel which they have deployed.
I think
that colocation plans are a bit pricey from this host. It
would be nice for more bandwidth allocation as 10GB can be
used very fast, or it would at least be reasonable to have
the option of purchasing more bandwidth without having to
upgrade packages.
