Introduction
Easy
CGI has a superior intuitive site, which
provide potential clients with easier
access to ordering information. They also
offer the most unique product offerings.
They offer Coldfusion, ASP, and even the
new ASP.net technologies. Besides web hosting
they also offer co-location, which shows
that they are no small player.
If
you need Windows 2000 hosting, the average
provider will charge you around $20 or
more per month with a setup fee. Easy
CGI is an exception to that, with Windows
2000 hosting accounts starting at $7.96
per month. It comes with 3 GB of space
and 50 GB of traffic. For storage, we
have not found a company offering more. For Windows web hosting, Easy
CGI is a very solid choice.
Price
and Cost Effectiveness
Easy
CGI was founded in 1998 and located in
New York. Over the years, they have expanded
their product offerings. They offer the
most comprehensive Windows web hosting
package we have ever seen. Their
packages all come with ASP, MS Access
and access to a shared ssl certificate.
Plus they were the first company we have
seen to offer ASP.net to the public.
They also offer plenty of flexibility to
their web hosting plans. You can add
MsSQL and Coldfusion at any time.
Control
Panel
One of the greatest weaknesses in this
company is their control panel. Easy
CGI’s control panel is very limited in
what it is able to do. For one, it lacks
much of the advanced features that are
otherwise found in other control panels
such as web creation tools, setting
directories as CGI readable, etc. Their
control panel is very basic, in that it
only includes mailbox editing, and
billing information. Rather than using a
professional control panel software
package with lots of features, they
decided to make their own which is very
basic. However, if you do not plan to
use a control panel, then this should
not matter. It does have all the basic
functions, just nothing more and the
interface needs some tweaking.
Data
Center
We
were unable to obtain much information
about their date center. We do know though
that they operate a data center and it
is located in the same building as their
corporate headquarters. This means they
can easily solve problems if they were
to occur
Customer
Relations
EasyCGI has improved their customer
service dramatically over the past few
years. With their vast years of
experience in the industry, all of their
service professionals have sufficient
knowledge in the products they sell. You
can ask them anything about the packages
and they will answer promptly without
hesitation. When we asked about Windows
web hosting including version numbers of
software and whether or not it would
support our Windows ASP application,
they were able to provide competent
answers. EasyCGI also provides extended
support hours from 9 to 5 six days a
week.
Conclusion
All
in all, Easy CGI is a viable web hosting
provider. It offers everything one would
expect in web hosting company. Even
though they have a much weaker control
panel than most web hosting companies,
they offer consumers a great value in
web hosting and they have above average
technical support. They are definitely a
choice to consider when you are seeking
for a Windows web hosting provider or if
you need a lot of storage space.
