General Impression of Startlogic
Do not be fooled by the dullness of Startlogic’s website. Even though the design may seem outdated, Startlogic is a new web hosting company that provides excellent customer support and a bundle of features for cheap. Unlike most web hosting companies which specialize in either UNIX or Windows, Startlogic have plans that fit both needs. Startlogic is unique in a sense that they offer 24 hour live technical support. You can contact a representative any time during the day or night and request assistance over the phone and not just through email. Furthermore, for $5.95 per month, they offer a free domain, 100 GB transfer and one of the best web development template website makers we have seen on the internet today. It just doesn’t get any better than this. It is said that Startlogic was founded by a large investor so you can be assured that it is a hosting company that you can depend and rely on for years to come. 

Price and Cost Effectiveness

Startlogic’s UNIX web hosting starts at $5.95 with a one year prepayment which is cheaper than most other web hosting company. The average hosting price by consensus web hosting company usually starts at $7.50 per month. With them providing a free domain and free setup with only an annual prepayment, we couldn’t find better bargains elsewhere.  They also recently just upgraded to offer 5000 MB and 100 GB of traffic for the same low price. Thanks for the competitiveness of the industry, consumers benefit while web hosting companies lose margin. Startlogic is one of the few web hosting companies offering Windows hosting, with 500 MB of space and 20 GB of traffic.  They also offer ASP. net support in their windows offering, which a lot of companies don’t. They also have Phpnuke preinstalled in their control panel to offer ease to customers who need Phpnuke installed, but lack any type of programming knowledge.

Reliability of Startlogic

Reliability is something missing from most web hosting companies. It’s not uncommon nowadays to see even the oldest companies going down because of their server getting hacked, power outage, or excessive maintenance. Startlogic however is one of the few companies that offer reliable web hosting that meets up to their 99.9% uptime standards.  Startlogic is able to maintain its reputation for reliability with its data center located in Phoenix, AZ, which provides redundant optical fiber connections from Cox communications, Qwest, and ELI including Broadwing communications, UUNet and Global crossing. With so much redundancy, its no wonder that they are able to offer such high uptimes in their web hosting. In addition, their world-class data center is custom designed with raised floors, HVAC temperature control systems, redundant power, UPS back-up and power conditioning systems and generators.

Vdeck Control Panel

Startlogic currently uses its own proprietary control panel, very much similar to Ipowerweb’s. Their control panel is very unique since they seem to have customized it themselves. Many of the options in the control panel are unique and exclusive to Ipowerweb and Startlogic. Basically you can create websites, shopping carts, install scripts and even send and receive email all from the simple easy to use control panel. In addition, their control panel has one of the most intuitive interfaces we have seen in years. It is very easy to use and understand.
