*📜 Plan description

25 included e-mail accounts, 2.5 GB total e-mail storage, 5 GB server storage, and 50 GB monthly data transfer. This package fits a larger business site or organization with many staff mailboxes, more web content, and heavier visitor activity while retaining no setup fee, cPanel management, protected mail, application installers, SSL tools, backups, and migration assistance.

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.

📄 Editorial Review

Mercury Telecom is a privately held U.S. communications company headquartered in Midland, Michigan, founded in 1996 by David Sovereen. Its background goes back to a 1992 electronic Bulletin Board Service project called Mercedes On-Line Systems, later developing into a regional Internet and communications provider with high-speed Internet access, web hosting, email hosting, domain registration, digital phone services, web development, colocation, wholesale DNS, wholesale bandwidth, and IT services.

From a hosting-customer perspective, Mercury is not a large mass-market VPS or dedicated-server host. Its hosting offer is more traditional and ISP-oriented, covering shared web hosting, domain registration, email hosting, DNS/web forwarding, web development, wholesale email, wholesale DNS, and colocation. This makes the company more suitable for small businesses, local organizations, and customers who prefer direct support and bundled communications services rather than a purely self-service cloud platform.

Their Web Hosting line includes five shared hosting plans: Micro, Small, Medium, Large, and Mega. These plans include server storage from 1 GB to 20 GB, monthly data transfer from 10 GB to 200 GB, email accounts, MySQL, PHP, WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, AutoSSL, AWStats, FTP, File Manager, Git, JetBackup, Imunify360, LiteSpeed Web Cache Manager, ModSecurity, phpMyAdmin, PostgreSQL, Softaculous, SSL/TLS tools, subdomains, and language/PHP selection features.

The E-mail Hosting service works as a Microsoft Exchange-style alternative, with mailboxes up to 25 GB, webmail, calendars, contacts, tasks, file storage, anti-spam/anti-virus filtering, SSL/TLS connections, Outlook/Thunderbird/Apple Mail support, and mobile synchronization through technologies such as ActiveSync, SyncML, CalDAV, and CardDAV.

The company also provides Domain Registration for common extensions including .com, .net, .org, .us, .info, and .biz, together with DNS management and web forwarding. Their DNS setup uses ns1.mercury.net, ns2.mercury.net, ns3.mercury.net, and ns4.mercury.net across two diverse data centers, separate power grids, and separate backbones.

Mercury’s website has an older small-business ISP style, closer to a classic hosting and telecom layout than a modern cloud platform. Navigation remains clear, but the presentation is traditional. The website language is English, and pricing is shown in USD.
