📄 Editorial Review

Netfirms is now best understood as a legacy Canadian hosting brand rather than an active standalone hosting provider. The company was established in 1998, with Thomas Savundra associated as president and co-founder, and it became one of the better-known early web hosting names for small businesses, individuals and entry-level online projects.

During its active years, Netfirms focused on simple web presence services: Shared Hosting, Domain Registration, SSL Certificates, Website Builder, Email Hosting, domain privacy, website backup, SiteLock security, and business email tools. Its shared hosting packages were built for non-technical users who needed a domain, website, email and security basics in one account.

The company later became part of Endurance International Group in 2011, and eventually moved under the wider Newfold Digital hosting portfolio. By late 2025, Netfirms no longer functioned like an independent public hosting storefront. The brand became mostly a legacy access point for existing customers, while new hosting and domain activity moved toward Network Solutions.

The older Netfirms hosting range was simple and practical. Shared hosting plans included free SSL protection, FTP access, databases, email accounts, website builder tools, eCommerce features and marketing tools. Email services included browser and mobile access, custom domain email, mailbox security and business-style email storage. For small websites, personal pages and basic company sites, this was enough; for VPS, dedicated servers, cloud infrastructure or high-performance hosting, Netfirms was limited.

The main advantage of Netfirms was its beginner-friendly structure. The main disadvantage was scalability. The brand was heavily focused on shared hosting and entry-level services, while more demanding users often needed better performance, modern infrastructure, developer tools or more transparent upgrade paths.

-anonymous- (-no email-)

😠 Netfirms is the worst host imaginable. Never ever-ever-ever use them!!!

They deleted hundreds of emails by mistake and kept deleting more each week after that. They did not tell me any of this.

I asked them to fix problems and they said they did but they actually didn't.

When I wanted to transfer to a different host they made my life miserable for weeks

Jones (highwayismyway@y...) / sss

😠 You'll lose your google rank while their idiots pick their arse and let your site disappear without a trace. Files will mysteriously disappear. I'm waiting for the company who bought this lemon out to crack the whip and hire have the non intellectuals working at netfirms. I'm not holding my breath and actually am prepared for more incompetence after the merger. Today was a grand example as they state the migration will start on April 1st. Tried to login into their new control panel and it doesn't recognize my site despite me being around for over 8 years. This used to be a good company, but all the good people obviously quit, and the sludge is left in the Salton Sea.

😠 Netfirms Sucks. It has always been slow and now you can't even access the site and the control panel... What to expect from a shitty company like this?
