They are professional people, and I don’t just mean that when it comes to customer service. These guys and girls are experts when it comes to server administration… try matching that when you start getting service from an over-seas third-party support provider from employees who are trained in a classroom for 2 to 3 weeks then given nothing more than tutorials and documentation to assist their customers (I’ve done this kind of work for Verizon DSL, and received this same training mentioned herein).

Many of the features this service is lacking is also currently being implemented (I say that lightly, cause it could take more than a couple of months to implement, even upwards to a year or more, as many features are still being voted upon), and once they are implemented it is a fact that the features will work better and faster than they would on a traditional hosting company. SSL is being looked at in the future, as is cron jobs and many other desirable features.

All in all, I will stick with NFSN for me smaller projects, and pick another hosts when it comes to dedicated boxes for my larger projects. You owe it to yourself to check NFSN out.

1. Unix feel. It’s not overstuffed with gooey. It has a clean interface that really attracts a unixer like me.
2. Cheap. For a personal site this one should be the primary consideration on anyone’s list.
3. Fast. Blink of an eye fast.
4. Solid. Never had experienced any downs with my site.

One thing I don’t like though is that it has a bit of an unnatural feel to doing some things. Like if I want to create a subdomain, you have to create a site, etc.. The instructions are a bit non-user friendly. But maybe it’s just me ;-)

Overall I love NFS.net and will choose it over any hosting site.

I don’t think I will be leaving them in a long time. The guy/girl who started NFSN, I bow down to you!
They have great support and they are trustworthy, I have not experienced any site downtime at all in tha last 7 months!

By the way. They work great with wordpress and (mostly) all Board/Blogging software…

Great Host 5/5

Thank you,

I am just testing. Are these comments genuine? Will my post stay here when I visit it next
time? If it remains, then i will comeback again, and buy their hosting

I see no reason to believe the comments not to be genuine. My site’s been hosted with them for over a year now, and they’re every bit as good as they’re made out to be. I do have a couple of comments:

Setting up DNS is even easier now, if you use their DNS service. They now do step 3 for you.

Bandwidth gets cheaper once you’ve used a GB.
