Web Hosting Experience

NovaHosting.com started hosting web sites in 1997. We are an experienced family owned and operated web host.

Why "Cheap" Web Hosting is Cheap

"Virtualization features of HyperVM allow hosting firms such as VAserv to provide low-cost web hosting at a fraction of the price of dedicated server hosting." "Virtualization" means no dedicated server is used to hold down costs. This was reported in the June 9th The Register, which also reported the VAserv megahack affair that brought down 100,000 sites hosted by the UK web hosting firm VAserv, and the death of Indian software firm LxLabs founder in a suspected suicide on June 8, 2009.

The article went on: "Security researchers at Milw0rm warn that the Kloxo (formerly Lxadmin) web hosting platform from LxLabs contains 24 security vulnerabilities and exploits. The flaws include SQL injection vulnerabilities and flaws that create a way for hackers to gain file access to files hosted on a vulnerable system. The vulnerabilities are confirmed to affect Klaxo version 5.75, though other versions may also be affected. Milw0rm went public with an alert on the vulnerability last Thursday after failing to hear back from LxLabs in what it considered to be a timely manner. LxLabs recently said that more than 30,000 virtualized private servers (vpses) were managed by HyperVM, and more than 8,000 servers running Kloxo. The largest single installation of hyperVM centrally manages more than 4000 VPSes."

NovaHosting Uses Dedicated Servers in Professional Data Centers

We do not use unproven or beta technology or software to save money. Only the Best in Class is used to safeguard your data. If you want the best for your site, contact us today. If you lost your data in the VAserv crash, we know how you feel. Let us help you rebuild!

Bandwidth Transfer & Space

Many low-end Web hosts buy capped bandwidth from second-tier providers, then boldly offer "unlimited" transfer. But you can't have it both ways. When that cap is hit, every Web site goes down. Ditto for hard drive space. If a host offers "unlimited" or huge amounts of space for pennies, they are selling space they don't have and hope you'll never need. And servers squeezed with thousands of sites will run poorly and sooner or later will crash 'n' burn.

When we say unlimited transfer, we mean it. We give our customers bandwidth on demand from Tier-1 providers, and the space we provide is real. We use only the best redundant OnNet ("backbone") connections from three major providers to ensure the best connections around the world. It is more costly, but worth it.

Web Hosting Reviews For Sale

We do NOT buy "Top Hosting Reviews." Here are some unsolicited endorsements: http://novahosting.com/clients.shtml.

The Control Panel

"Control panels" come in different flavors, and we selected the best for both our customers and resellers (and their customers). The Control Panel is in English, French, Spanish or German.

What Does the Stock Market Got to Do with Web Hosting?

When asked to "go public" by an investment banker in 2000, we said no. Unlike our huge corporate competitors, our family business was designed from the ground-up to serve our customers, not investment banks.

Customer Service

What do we offer that others don't? Seriously good customer service. Our servers and support database are monitored 24/7, and we treat our customers well. We are in it for you.

Static IPs

We provide individual IP addresses for most domains. We could offer one "shared IP" for all domains because it's cheaper. But we won't. And users of SSL, anonftp, MS FrontPage and those who prefer not to take a chance with good search engine placement certainly benefit.

Marketing

A website without marketing is like a day without sunshine :) We work our hosting to coincide with the marketing of the domain. Just ask for a FREE MARKETING boost when your site is up and running. And our stats package is one of the best on the market.

Cheap Hosting vs. Successful Domains

We're a small family owned and operated company that cares, and we really find ways to make the domains we host successful. Don't "Cheap Out" when you're looking for a web host!
