ModernOne hosting solutions are hosted on high-performance cloud servers that are equipped with distributed block storage that is typically used in storage-area network (SAN) environments. These servers are housed in an AIMS data center located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. AIMS is an Asia-based data center operator that owns and manages carrier-neutral data centers in Asia. The data center comes with enterprise-grade hosting infrastructure including redundant network facilities for reliable uptime.
ModernOne cloud-based solutions support both Linux and Windows OS platforms. The vendor’s shared web hosting solution comes in three levels: Small Business Hosting (100GB disk space, 100GB monthly bandwidth, 10 MySQL databases), Standard Business Hosting (300GB disk space, 300GB monthly bandwidth, 30 MySQL databases), and Advance Business Hosting (500GB disk space, 500GB monthly bandwidth, 50 MySQL databases).
All hosting plans include a user-friendly cPanel control panel, unlimited FTP accounts, and 512MB RAM resources. Additionally, these hosting solutions offer free remote backup storage for users’ cPanel backup. It is worth mentioning that the ModernOne managed hosting services also provide managed backup services. Clients can request snapshot backups, which are stored for 14 days.
Pricing and Support
ModernOne hosting solutions are somewhat expensive. And when you factor in the fact that customers have to pay for other add-on features such as OS platforms, cPanel control panel, SSL certificates, and managed backup services, the cost of these hosting plans can become extremely high. What’s more, the hosting plans only come with annual subscriptions. Their prices are listed in U.S. dollars and Malaysian ringgit.
All payments made to ModernOne are non-refundable. All the same, the hosting firm offers a 99.9% uptime network guarantee.
The ModernOne technical support team is available via telephone, email, and ticketing system. Although the vendor has a live chat, the link to the live chat is invalid. The technical support staff is listed as being available 24/7, though I sent them an email and only got a response just over 12 hours later.
ModernOne has a comprehensive knowledge base section with lots of articles and tutorials.
