*📜 Plan description

Standard Web Hosting is the main Linux shared hosting plan. The promotional entry price is 2.50 USD for the first month, with the monthly plan renewing at 7.00 USD per month; longer first terms are also offered at 15 USD for 6 months, 30 USD for 12 months and 60 USD for 24 months, with renewals equivalent to 7 USD per month. It includes unlimited storage space, unlimited data transfer, unlimited email accounts, unlimited forwarders, unlimited FTP accounts, unlimited MySQL databases, unlimited websites/domains, unlimited parked domains and unlimited subdomains. The platform runs CloudLinux and LiteSpeed, with SSD caching servers, RAID-10 storage, speed optimization, LSCache, QUIC support and free Cloudflare CDN. Weekly backups, backup and restore tools, phpMyAdmin, visitor statistics, cron jobs, file manager, SSH access, PHP 5.5/5.6/7/8, FastCGI, Ruby on Rails, Python, node.js beta and Perl 5.10 are included. DirectAdmin is used for account management and the plan also includes free SSL certificates, cloud apps, WordPress installer, automatic WordPress updates and support for using any WordPress plugin.

The shared hosting environment is built for everyday websites, stores, blogs, portfolios, community projects and email accounts that need a managed platform rather than server administration. DirectAdmin centralizes websites, domains, DNS, databases, email, FTP, SSL and file management. The platform includes one-click cloud apps for common CMS and store software, free migration help, InterShield security, Inter-Proxy caching, Inter-Insurance cleanup support, guaranteed mail delivery through smart hosts, spam filtering, SSL encryption and a 30-day guarantee. Standard hosting is designed for website and email use, not bulk backup storage, movie/file archives or resale hosting. The account can later move to VPS or dedicated infrastructure when heavier traffic, custom server software or more isolated resources are required.

📄 Editorial Review

InterServer is a long-running American hosting and infrastructure provider founded in 1999 by Mike Lavrik and John Quaglieri. The company is based in New Jersey and has built a reputation around practical, technically focused hosting rather than only low-cost shared hosting. Its strongest profile combines classic web hosting with VPS, dedicated servers, GPU servers, storage hosting, and colocation.

InterServer works well for customers who want a provider with a broad upgrade path. A small website can start on standard shared hosting, while developers, agencies, ecommerce projects, SaaS workloads, and infrastructure-heavy customers can move into VPS, storage VPS, dedicated servers or colocation without changing provider.

Their portfolio includes Standard Web Hosting, ASP.NET / Windows Hosting, Boost Web Hosting, Reseller Hosting, cPanel Hosting, Private Email Hosting, Domain Registration, Website Builder, E-commerce Hosting, Cloud VPS, Windows VPS, WordPress VPS, Webuzo VPS, Storage VPS, Shared Storage Hosting, Dedicated Servers, GPU Dedicated Servers, Rapid Deploy Servers, Large Storage Servers, Gaming Servers, and Colocation.

The standard shared hosting plan is one of their most recognizable products. It includes unlimited storage, transfer, email accounts and FTP accounts, together with DirectAdmin, weekly backups, CloudLinux, SSD caching, free SSL, security tools, script installers, free migration, and an optional free Cloudflare CDN integration. Customers who prefer a classic cPanel workflow can choose the separate cPanel Hosting product. Windows users have a dedicated ASP.NET hosting plan with Plesk, Microsoft SQL support, .NET technologies, mailboxes, backup and restore tools, app installer, and Let’s Encrypt SSL.

The VPS range is especially flexible. Linux VPS uses a slice-based model where each slice adds CPU, RAM, SSD storage, transfer and shared 10Gbps network capacity. Windows VPS runs on Hyper-V and starts with a higher minimum resource level. WordPress VPS is optimized around OpenLiteSpeed, LSCache, OPcache and SSD storage, while Webuzo VPS is useful for customers wanting a lightweight single-user hosting panel. Storage VPS and shared storage hosting are better suited for backups, media archives, repositories and large file storage.

Dedicated server customers can choose from live inventory, custom builds, rapid deploy systems, GPU servers, large-storage configurations, gaming-oriented servers, and U.S. location-specific deployments in New York / Secaucus, Dallas, and Los Angeles. This part of the business is one of InterServer’s strongest areas because it includes single-tenant hardware, remote management, IPMI, DDoS protection, BGP/BYOIP options, floating IPs, network upgrades, and flexible server configurations.

The website is available mainly in English, and pricing is primarily shown in USD. The platform is active, current and product-rich, with a stronger infrastructure focus than many basic shared-hosting brands.

😠 I have worked with Interserver for a couple of years now, they are outstanding in prices, it's cheap, but cheap has a cost, their support has been deteriorating over time, they take hours to reply to your tickets, sometimes more than 3 hours, transfer hosting accounts it takes forever, the chat is it's useless. So if you want cheap hosting or VPS, you can use this company, but expect terrible support when needed.

😠 I was very happy with Interserver, but like many others, in time they have changed , for worse!

I find Interserver behavior extremely unprofessional and here is why:

1. They changed inode limits without warning
2. As a result my sites went down and I lost a lot of money
3. Explanation I got:

“Apologies for the inconvenience caused. Earlier , We used to increase the inodes limit upon customer request. Unfortunately, due to this custom changes made we noticed that customers are abusing the inodes usage to host their personal data. Henceforth, We have updated our inodes limit for all the accounts on the server.”

Questions:

A. Why am I supposed to pay for other people’s wrongdoings?
B. Why was I not at least informed of inodes change prior to taking my sites down?

4. When I clearly stated what I am not happy about it and that I’ll go elsewhere, they did nothing to correct their wrongdoings, just repeatedly asked me to upgrade while keeping my sites down.

Result:

I left (I am sure I am not the only one)

Advice:

Stay away! There is no a business or any relationship without trust!

😃 I have a number of websites hosted by Interserver over 5 years or more.
I have had a few problems, some of my own making but I've always found them pretty quick to respond even within the hour.
Overall, I'm pleased to recommend them.
