Webhosting Review|CarloBlogg Online 3.0 is now Vertito hosted.

(THIS IS A STICKY POST. New Posts may be found below this post guys :D )

There was a quite a change here in my blog. Aside from the change in template color and the reformatting of all my previous blog posts (which I know is a bad move, SEO-speaking :D ), I also migrated to a new web host (now if you do not know what a web host or web hosting is, then please google it :D ). My old hosting was Dreamhost by the way.

Migrating is not that easy; aside from the fact that you will have to start literally from scratch (except if you opted to transferring your old blog files to your new blog), you will have to also consider the Web host you are to migrate to.

In my search of a new web host, I found Vertito Hosting solutions. Read below my review of Vertito Hosting solutions.

I will be as impartial as possible here in my review. I’ll review Vertito Hosting solutions based on 4 categories;  Pricing, Ease of Use, Uptime, Support. Ok, here we go!

Pricing

This one’s definitely the category that got me in Vertito Hosting solutions. Webhosting at Vertito starts at $1 a month (Php50) with 1 Gig disk space and 10 Gig monthly bandwidth.

Personally, I took their Silver plan (3 Gig disk space and 30 Gig monthly bandwidth) which cost me $20 for 1 year (roughly Php1,000 a year). Together with my domain with them (which costs 500 Php), I am paying them Php1500 yearly.

For me that’s a big discount as compared to other Webhosting out there. As far as I am concerned, there aren’t any Webhosting out there that offers $1 a month for their hosting services. The lowest I think is $3.45 a month (roughly Php172  a month) at Justhost.com. So compute that for a year and you get $41.40 (roughly Php2,070 a year).

Which would you choose then? Php1,500 or Php 2,070? :D

What’s more, you can pay them online through Paypal, or through bank (in my case through, BDO).

Ease of Use.

Definitely, anyone who have been into any webhosting will not get lost using Vertito’s web panel. Vertito uses Cpanel by the way. Installing the correct script for your needs is easy with a click of a button through Fantastico scripts.

Uptime.

So far, my blog hasn’t experienced any downtime (yet). According to my Cpanel, I have only consumed around 5% (1 Gig) of my total monthly bandwidth of 30 Gig. I do notice quite a slowdown in load time with my blog as compared to my old blog hosted over at Dreamhost. But overall, the slow load time is bearable.

Support.

As with the support aspect, I would have to say that their support team is fast and very responsive. There was a time when I asked them something regarding an error in my Blog (which was caused by a wrong install). They responded immediately within 20 or 30 minutes. And because their time table is similar with me (because Vertito Hosting is also Philippine-based), response time is never a problem.

Overall, I don’t have anything bad to say about Vertito hosting. Vertito passed all my criteria for a viable webhost – attractive webhosting features and value for money. I totally recommend Vertito web hosting Solutions for your hosting needs.

  • carlo balicas

    You’re welcome Andrew! If you’re planning to get a hosting service from Vertito, be sure to sign-up under my name, ok? :D Its nothing much; just click on the links on the post regarding the hosting service :D Thanks!

  • I’ve been using Vertito Bronze Shared Hosting Plan -the $1/month. At first two months, everything is ok until early on my third month of subscription my site http://www.eco-philippines.com started to experience server downtime on the average of 8 hours per week, amidst of their 99% uptime guarantee.

    They let me use the following:
    Hosting Platform Server Host Name: staples.vertito.com
    Hosting Platform Server IP Address: 174.120.xxx.xxxx

    Over-all vertito shared hosting solution is a bit lighter than a SCAM.

    I just wanted to use my remaining months of subscription (until October 2011) and I will no longer renew this kind of hosting provider.

    Try it for yourself to believe… or better yet visit http://www.eco-philippines.com (hosted by vertito)and observe how vertito servers behave.

    Hi eco-philippines! Thanks for your incite regarding Vertito. Regarding your downtime problem, maybe its due to their server, or server location. Personally, I never experienced any downtime from them; I haven’t tested them on a really “hi-traffic situation” though as this blog is fairly new, so I cannot attest that this blog won’t get any downtime when heavy traffic comes pouring in.
    Don’t worry! Try communicating with them and tell them your problem. As for me, I informed them about the slowdown I experienced when I migrated my blog to them from Dreamhost. After a day or two, voila! The slowdown was gone (the problem was on their side :D )
    Thanks for visiting eco-philippines! :D

  • @Mr Templar, I just noticed that the reverse DNS of your website’s IP showed me that your domain eco-philippines.com is 174.121.12.205 with an equivalent hostname of vienzeh.vertito.com

    @admin, thanks for your review as well, as am hearing lots of good feed backs from them , would try to consider them.
