IOFort does not say much about itself but takes pride in working with a team of experts, composed of systems administrators and web developers with many years of experience to help the company deliver quality hosting solutions to meet its customer’s expectations. This is backed by a high-end data center located in Atlanta, in the United States. Its offerings are shared web hosting plans and domain name registration services.
Features and Ease of Use
IOFort’s primary focus is the provisioning of shared web hosting solutions. As such, it has equipped these web hosting services with high-end specs to help individuals and SMEs run and manage their websites with total ease. Some of the features you can expect to find in its hosting solutions are:
- Free SSL certificates
- Unlimited domain names
- Unlimited databases
- 99.9% uptime guarantee
- Up to 10Gb/s DDoS filtering
- Unlimited email accounts
- Unlimited bandwidth
IOFort hosting servers are powered by high-performance SSD drives with RAID 10 configuration providing the much-needed website security as well as fast page loading speeds. This helps boost the performance of its customer’s websites, thus maintaining high reliability. Moreover, the servers include up to 10Gb/s DDoS filtering, and users can rest assured they are protected from malicious and DDoS attacks.
IOFort customers can choose from three SSD web hosting plans, depending on their business needs. These plans are Basic, Plus, and Pro. The entry-level is the Basic plan, which is best designed for personal blogs and small business websites. It includes 10GB disk space and unlimited bandwidth. The Pro plan is the most advanced shared hosting solution and includes “everything unlimited,” including unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth, and unlimited databases.
All account levels come with free SSL certificates, cPanel control panel, and unlimited email addresses. Also, all of its user’s accounts include daily automatic backups powered by JetBackup manager. The backups are retained as follows: five daily backups, one weekly backup, and one monthly backup. Through the JetBackup manager, customers can easily download their full website data backups, including cPanel backups, MySQL databases, or even their individual files.
Pricing and Support
IOFort web hosting solutions begin with affordable prices and their features come with very few notable limitations. Additionally, using the promo code IOF20 (at the time of writing this review), new customers get to receive up to a 20% discount on their first order. The plans are offered with monthly billing cycles. Prices are listed in U.S. dollars.
To guarantee its service availability, IOFort has committed itself to providing a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Moreover, all new accounts are backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Support service is available only via ticketing system or live chat. The vendor does not seem to have telephone support or email. Its technical support staff is available 24/7 to attend to the support requests via ticketing system, but the live chat support is often offline. I opened a ticket and heard back from this vendor in less than 30 minutes.
IOFort has a knowledge base section, but it’s a bit basic with only about 10 available articles.
