WebHostingFinds.com > Network Solutions Network Solutions Web Hosting ReviewMost people probably think of Network Solutions (www.networksolutions.com) as a domain registrar, but in fact, the company is a large one-stop shop that includes web hosting. Network Solutions is a company having the unique ability to boast one of the earliest startup dates in Internet: history: 1979. The "dot com people" claim to be the domain name hosting service pioneers, having 25 years in the business. As a web hosting provider, Network Solutions supplies everything required for setting up a website with rich functionality, and they describe their server room environment in great detail. Each hosted solution is therefore protected with diesel backup, fire protection and humidity-controlled air conditioning. They’re one of the few service providers who specifically mention their backups. Pricing offers good value for money, with no real surprises, but the full feature set is on a par with the EarthLink offering and there are enough deeper technical toys to get web developers salivating. In 2006 Network Solutions were certified to an industry standard for call centers, reaching performance levels within the "top 20% of customer service." If a business is looking for a domain to purchase, Network Solutions offers a full service. Backordering an existing domain name or making a certified offer can be done by Network Solutions. Domains coming up for expiry can also be searched and booked for purchase, as can names up for deletion. Network Solutions offers an auction format for these domains. The Network Solutions WHOIS service gives the facility of searching for a particular domain name across multiple registrars. Network Solutions can then supply the information available for the domain of interest, including a thumbnail of the website at that domain. Our review notes that the Network Solutions' CEO recently won an award for most effective turnaround CEO, so the organisation is currently riding on a wave of success and improving processes and delivery. Prices are good and there seems to be a lot of energy spent in improving customer service, with a person on the other end of a support call as standard. Service delivery is solid and as mentioned, contains many features. The Network Solutions web hosting
service also offers a limited 30-day money back guarantee, increasing
peace of mind, while their Homepage, Starter or Enhanced website packages
allow a complete web presence to be built as part of their hosting solutions.
It is reassuring to see that Network Solutions has a solid web hosting product
suite backed up by their skills in domain name management, should a business be
required to negotiate for a key domain for their web presence.
