Servy Compu is a hosting company that is focused on providing shared hosting solutions to their customers. They keep their options limited, which makes it easier for those who are just getting into running their own websites. This could be individuals, students, businesses or others. They also offer domain name registration for those who need it.
The hosting itself is affordable and with limited options. The quality is good as long as you don’t try to run a high end website that gets excessive amounts of traffic. As long as you’re just looking to run a small to mid-sized site, you should be quite happy with the level of service available from this company.
The hosting is going to be quite stable overall. From what I have been able to find from actual users it seems that the sites almost never go all the way down, which is nice. There were some people who complained about periods of slower response times. This is fairly normal with entry level shared hosting since they tend to oversell the servers a little bit. Given the low prices, this is expected.
There are four main hosting packages to choose from based on your specific needs. The budget plan has 1.5 gigs of disk space and is limited to 5 gigs of bandwidth. The student plan only has 500 megs of disk space and 2 gigs of bandwidth. Move up to the premium plan and get 4 gigs of disk space and 10 gigs of bandwidth. Finally, the corporate plan offers 10 gigs of disk space and 15 gigs of bandwidth.
All the plans include unlimited email accounts, at least 5 database options, cPanel and 24/7 tech support. The plans seem to be kept intentionally simple so customers have no trouble understanding what they are getting.
The tech support staff is available 24/7 through their help desk feature. You can use their contact us form to submit a ticket with any issues you are having. The support teams do a good job at investigating issues and getting any problems addressed quickly. In addition to the live support you can also go through their knowledge base to learn more about hosting and find answers to common questions.
The prices are reasonable based on the features you are getting. The lowest cost option, which is for students, is just $18 per year. Move up to $30 per year for the budget plan, $60 for the premium plan and $250 for the corporate plan and you can see that none of the options are too expensive. They don’t seem to offer the option to pay monthly, however, so some people may not like that.
If you are looking to start a personal blog or website this is a great hosting solution for you. Even if you have a small business you want to get online, this hosting provider may be ideal. If you’re looking to build a site that is going to get thousands of visitors per day, however, you may want to look for a company that has higher level hosting options.
