EasyCGI Reviews

I can only say one thing - stay away from this company!

I was a happy customer of an excellent hosting company called WebStrikeSolution.
Unfortunately, EasyCGI bought Webstrike business along with all the customers database on March 2009, along with my hosting account which was migrated to EasyCGI.
The migration process itself was terrible and unprofessional with many unacceptable problems:
1. EasyCGI copied the site to the wrong location on their server (IIS was not pointing to the root folder).
2. They restored a copy of the site that was 3 weeks old and put it online - until I figured out the problem, users have already created new data in the database, so I had to waste many hours trying to sync between the two access database records (I had a duplicate key issues because of that). Of course EasyCGI did not have an up to date backup (luckily I had).

Since then my site experienced many hours of downtime and it took them way too long to respond to each downtime incident and to bring the site back online... so gracefully, they agreed to give me access to their premium support, for 2 month for free. But guess what, when the two months expired and they began charging for the premium support I have asked them to cancel the premium support – what do you think that they did? You guess it- they have canceled my hosting account and took the site offline.

And last but not least, this month there was a billing issue (something to do with credit I had in the account that was not reflected in the invoice), 1 day after I have received the corrected invoice (and even before i had the chance to pay - again due to a problem in their billing system that showed the wrong amount) they have pulled the plug and took the site offline.

To summarize the above - if you value your money or your website, skip this company.
There are much better deals in the market (from both price & service perspectives)

hey, my site which is hosted is a very small flash site.

After the sign up, now after about 6 months i did not have to write a single ticket to them on any issue. my site is always on and the mail server is doing a good job.

The control panel allows me have a complete control and administer every aspect of my account at any time, from any location. The UI (user interface) is clean and easy to deal with no headache's and complications.

Having no problem with the site hosting and mail server, I am getting all the mails from my site contact us page. I didn't have to write a single support ticket.

Guys, i tell you being small and wanting to have a online visibility of the my business was not easy decision to make. And me taking the EasyCGI hosting, i never thought would be so easy.

I'm a very happy EasyCGI user, Being a happy user of there services i also get the benefit from there referring program to my friends and clients. It's so cool.

Our Profile

EasyCGI was founded in 1998 and privately owned.

Company and Services
In the 10 years since trading began, EasyCGI has expanded rapidly to the point that it regularly ranks among the world’s top web hosts in terms of customer service and reputation.

EasyCGI’s customer base is predominately made up of small-to-medium sized businesses, and numbers more than 20,000. It has around 16 employees and in 2007 had revenue of around $2.8 million.

Although it does offer Linux hosting, EasyCGI has concentrated on providing the latest Windows-based solutions, and claims to be a dominant player in this market.

It offers a broad range of hosting packages, including three types of shared hosting (Windows), four types of VPS hosting (Linux) and stripped down email only hosting. With EasyCGI you can also get a domain name registered with your account, plus built in e-commerce software solutions.

Generally, EasyCGI's hosting plans are keenly priced, however, the company claims that competitive pricing does not mean that it has skimped on technology investment. EasyCGI has designed and built a high capacity infrastructure and offers customers a 99.9% up-time guarantee.

Customer support can be reached 24/7 by email, phone or live chat. There is also a FAQ section and large knowledge base on its website.

EasyCGI was ranked 2,300 in Inc Magazine’s list of 5,000 Fastest Growing Privately Owned Companies in 2008. It has also won its fair share of awards. In July 2007 EasyCGI was placed in the Top 10 Best Web Hosting Company category by HostReview.com. Easy has also been an award winner of the WebHostdir.com and listed as a Top 10 Web Host by Kubus.net.

Server Location
EasyCGI has more than 800 servers at its two data centers in the Boston Massachusetts area.
