Aplus.net is not the most charming website hosting company out there but still offers some features worth looking at. The company used to be very efficient and offered great customer service but since the change in administration, the company has seen some very grim days. A lot of customers are complaining about slow speeds and various other technical issues, but that does not mean that every customer is dissatisfied with their service.

The main reason for the company’s downfall is faulty administration. Whatever is going on in the company is a mystery, but the promises just keep piling up with no positive movement. The company needs to improve on its service otherwise it might just lose a lot of potential or even existing customers.

Price & Features
The company offers 4 different packages for webhosting. The features provided by these packages are though very attractive; the prices are too high compared to other companies which offer same packages at cheaper rates and much better service. The basic plan called “Personal” is provided for $5.95 and offers only 15 GB of web space and 250 GB of data transfer bandwidth. The number of domains hosted is also limited to 1 and only 50 email boxes are provided.

The Business plan is better than the Personal plan, especially since they dropped prices on this package. This package is available at $4.98 and provides 200 GB of Web Space, and 2000 GB of data transfer bandwidth. Customers can host up to 10 domains on this package.

The Professional plan is being offered at a high $19.95 per month which is just too much for the features being offered. The web space is limited to only 300 GB and data transfer bandwidth is restricted to 3000 GB per month. Up to 50 domains can be hosted on this package.

The ecommerce package is the highest specifications package being offered by the company and includes 500 GB of web space and 5000 GB of bandwidth per month. The package is being offered $34.95 per month. 100 domains can be hosted on this webhosting package. Standard features like website builder, free setup utility and support for latest development technologies is provided with all packages.

Support & UP Time
This is where the company lags the most, although the 99.9% uptime guaranteed is met, there are many issues relating to slow speed and poor response time for technical issue. Still, there is the support for 24 hour help line and live chat which can be very useful in solving minor technical issues. The company appears to be facing a grim time these days, but has promised to improve services to their formal award winning glory. One nice feature that customers might appreciate is the 30 day unconditional money back guarantee which allows customers to test the service without wasting money.

Conclusion
The company used to be an award winning hosting solution provider, however recent problems with the company’s services has ruined its reputation. The prices should be lowered to match the current market rates and the services should be improved to increase customer satisfaction. The world is highly materialistic and customers would always go to companies which offer the best service at competitive prices.
