Mercury.net Small, $ 9.95/mo. on Linux Shared

2 included e-mail accounts, 200 MB total e-mail storage, 2 GB server storage, and 20 GB monthly data transfer. This shared hosting plan doubles the website storage and transfer allocation compared with Micro while keeping the same application support, cPanel management features, no setup fee, and protected e-mail service.

Mercury Telecom web hosting is built for small business and personal websites that need straightforward hosting, e-mail capability, and practical site management without a setup charge. The service includes 24/7 technical support, spam and virus protection for included e-mail accounts, and a creator tool for customers who want to build a site without starting from scratch. The hosting environment supports common web applications and scripting needs with MySQL, PHP, WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, PostgreSQL, Perl modules, PHP PEAR packages, Node.js, Python, and Ruby application setup tools. Site management is handled through cPanel features such as File Manager, FTP Account Manager, FTP Settings, Directory Privacy, IP Blocker, Hotlink Protection, Redirects, Error Pages, Raw Access Logs, Webalizer, AWStats, Analog Stats, Bandwidth Stats, Metrics Editor, MIME Types, Optimize Website, SSL/TLS, SSL/TLS Wizard, AutoSSL, ModSecurity Domain Manager, Password and Security, User Manager, and Update Notification Preferences. Backup and recovery tooling is unusually visible for this type of shared hosting, with Backup Manager, File and Directory Restoration, and JetBackup plugins for file backups, database backups, full account backups, queue management, and settings. The platform also includes Imunify360, Resource Usage Plugin, LiteSpeed Web Cache Manager Plugin, AccelerateWP Plugin, Softaculous app installation, and WordPress Manager by Softaculous. Mailboxes and standard hosting administration can be managed through the online Account Manager, while enhanced hosting management is available through WebsiteOS. Server storage covers web pages, graphics, and log files, while e-mail mailbox storage is counted separately and does not reduce the website storage quota. Data transfer measures visitor downloads from the website, and e-mail traffic does not count against that transfer allowance. A courtesy migration allowance of up to 15 minutes of technician time is available when moving a small business website to Mercury Telecom, with additional professional site maintenance billed in 15 minute blocks when needed. Customers can change hosting plans as needs grow, and upgrades do not carry an additional upgrade fee beyond the new monthly recurring package cost. Non-profit organizations that meet 501(c)3 eligibility criteria may receive 20 percent off Medium and higher web or e-mail hosting plans, and domain registration can be discounted by 10 USD per year when bundled with hosting.
