CoolIceHost is based in France and serves people throughout Europe with good quality shared or VPS hosting solutions. They have been in business sine September of 2005 and work hard to put their experience to work for their customers. One of the main things they focus on with their marketing is the fact that they are targeting ‘non-technical’ people. This means if you want a website but don’t know anything about hosting or the technology behind it, they are the ideal choice for you.
Overall they appear to be quite a nice hosting option that will be able to meet all your needs and keep your site up and running smoothly no matter what type of site is is. They are easy to get in touch with for technical support or customer service and they have a lot of really nice options to choose from.
The reliability of this company is very good. They offer DDOS protection, which is becoming more and more important every year. They also use high quality hardware to avoid outages related to this type of problem. As mentioned before, the solid state drives can further benefit the uptime that they can provide. They offer a 99.98% network and power uptime guarantee, which is very good. Most companies don’t offer this level of guarantee.
The first thing that jumps out at you when you are looking through their features is that all their hosting options come with solid state drives. This is really great because SSD’s help your site to load more quickly and they can help to avoid down time as well. Most companies don’t offer solid state drives until you get to more expensive options, if ever.
They also offer DDOS protection on all their hosting options, which is a great feature to have today. While there are limits on disk space and bandwidth and things like that, the limits are quite high. This means the vast majority of people won’t ever run into trouble with not having enough disk space or anything like that.
They list what percentage of the CPU you are able to use per day, which is good to know. This is a little weird for a company that claims to be very focused on non-technical users since these are tech-specs that most people wouldn’t understand.
The tech support with this company is very good. They have a team on staff 24/7 and will be happy to help you with any issues you’re running into. They also have a very nice knowledge base and FAQ section to get information when you need it. Another item that I like with them is that they have a network status page to show if there are any known issues at any given time.
The pricing with this company starts out low, at 2.98 Euro per month and goes up from there. For shared hosting you can get the largest package at just 14.98 Euro per month. Given the fact that you get some very nice features, this is quite a deal.
Not surprisingly, VPS options are going to be more expensive, starting at 4.98 and going up to 34.98 for this type of hosting. You will get greater control over the server and some other nice specs, which make this a great option for many people. This is especially true if you can opt for the lower end VPS that has a lot of benefits for a very low price.
The hosting from this company is quite good. They really don’t have any packages that will be able to meet the needs of very large or busy sites, but for the vast majority of people, that is not a problem. If you’re looking to have a site hosted in Europe, this is a great option to consider. The value for the price will be hard to beat.
