The primary language of the Serveris website is Lithuanian. From within the customer area, there is the option to choose between 27 different languages, however this only changes the menu text and not the content language.

The website shows an option for website design services, however, this link goes to a mostly blank page which simply states: “Updating information …”
Pricing and support
Pricing for Serveris’ shared hosting plans is affordable and in line with competitors’ pricing. The P1 plan costs around the price of a fast food kid’s meal per month and includes unlimited traffic, domains, mailboxes, and databases. Along with the free SSL certificate, this plan offers a very appealing value. Add in the discounts mentioned below, and the value increases to an even higher degree.
For an even cheaper plan, the Start1 option is incredibly affordable, although it doesn’t include any databases. This may be adequate for a simple static website.
Compared to other high-ranking Lithuanian web hosts, Serveris’ prices for are 50%-70% less.
Shared plans come in one-month, three-month, six-month, 12-month, 24-month, and 36-month terms. Discounts for longer plan lengths are given and at the time of writing this review, are as follows: 10% off for quarterly payment, 20% off for semi-annual, 40% off for annual, and 50% off for biennial and triennial.
Serveris handles customer support through telephone and email during their local business hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I received a response to my sales query email within one hour.
