Ready Hosting

Email Accounts: 10,000
Platform: NT
Price: $198.00
Storage Space: 2GB

Looking for a solid NT hosting solution? You may want to give Ready Hosting a try.

Ready Hosting’s NT Advanced Plan is priced on a yearly basis and features 6 gigs of data storage. If you need more disk space, the next plan up offers a tiny bit more for several hundred dollars more. Included with this Advanced Plan is 200 gigs of monthly data transfer, a reasonable amount which should be enough for most sites.

Unlimited email boxes and web-based email access is provided. The usual unlimited aliases and forwarders are also included. ASP and Cold Fusion are supported, as well as FrontPage 2000 extensions. However, Ready Hosting did not specify whether other versions of FrontPage are supported, particularly FrontPage 2003. If you are using an older or a newer version of FrontPage, you may want to check with their sales department before moving ahead with this plan.

Instant set-up is offered, which is useful if you need to get a site up and running quickly. A 30-day money back guarantee is also offered. One interesting feature is that existing customers can purchase additional accounts at a discount of up to 50%. This is very helpful for web designers that frequently need to purchase additional site packages, or companies that may need additional space.

This plan does provide 2 MySQL databases, an online control panel, 24/7 FTP access and the ability to add-on specific components as necessary. Unfortunately, these add-ons are not listed on Ready Hosting’s site, making it difficult to gauge how expensive they are, or how functional. The set-up fee is currently being waived and 24/7 technical support is provided through an online support center. No toll-free or telephone support is offered at this time.

The bottom line – This package is reasonably priced, as long as you don’t mind buying a year’s worth of hosting up front. However, the features are a little light and there is room for improvement on their hosting information.
