Netfirms claims to have
Frontpage Extensions, however their "extensions" messed up my site.
I wasn't able to use Frontpage for an entire month, because my site
wouldn't open due to "time out" errors that had to do with the
extensions. Their tech support people gave me the run-around,
telling me that it was my program that wasn't working. However, I
design sites for other people and I was able to open their sites
easily using my Frontpage, just not my own! They wouldn't own up to
the problem, and I am currently looking for new hosting!

Netifrms Is
The Best I Have Seen
have been using Netfirms for almost 2 years and 95% of my web
sites are hosted here. A few months ago I upgraded my plan to the
Enterprise Three hosting. This plan covers me for up to 100 web
sites. I have a dedicated IP address, 150 gb of storage and 2500 gb
of monthly transfer. The system is based on clustering technology
that gives me amazing scalability. I am also very impressed that the
system gives me both Linux and Windows on the same account. This
means I can run php scripts on one site, and asp on another site.
It's really amazing.
The only problem I have ever had with Netfirms is when I wanted
to open my youtube clone. I asked them if they would install ffmpeg
on the server for me and they refused. The actual statement they
gave me was that they will consider it if there is ever sufficient
demand. I pay $130 per month for what is almost the most advanced
package they have. The only way I can do it bigger is if I get my
own server. For that kind of money, they should install anything I
need on the server, not tell me that they don't feel there is
sufficient demand. I was completely in shock that I had to get a
separate account at another host over something so small as ffmpeg,
and I nearly transferred all of my business away from them over it,
but I am glad I didn't.
Other than that one problem, I have never encountered anything
negative at Netfirms. They are literally the best host I have ever
had, and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

I've been hosted around 7
months by now and I have no complaining at all. The customer
supports it's really fast and they answer all my questions really
fast. I have around 5 more domains on 2 different accounts and the
websites have never been down. What I liked the most is that I got a
deal with them of $10 for one full year of Netfirms Advantage
Hosting!, 2 FREE domain names, 250GB of disk space, 2000GB data
transfer per month, Host unlimited websites with a single account!

Reviewer: Narasimha
have 5 domains hosted with Net Firms servers.
Overall experience with them is great since i got the hosting
advantage account for very less and i got lots of space and
bandwidth.
The over all prices are great and cheap, not too many difference
between other companies on products else then Domains and Hosting.
I never had a bad experience with this site.Very good uptime of
99.9%.
However saying that i have been generally pleased over the last
few months especially since i'm currently running more than one site
on my server.
All of their hosting packages come complete with the latest
versions of PHP, MySQL, Joomla, phpBB, Wordpress etc... They support
server side includes as well.
My Overall rating is excellent.

Reviewer: Kannan
This hosting is really a value for your money.
I don't think any other hosting could provide as much value as
netfirms provide for such a low price.
I generally find that netfirms DNS propagations occurs more
faster than the other DNS propagation.
So far I never found my site down which is really a big thing.
Netfirms is ideal for all kinds of sites,either smaller or
bigger.
I do prefer netfirms always,
their packages are also too god to use.

I have been a customer of Netfirms web hosting for the past 2
years. Their control panel and administration area is second to
none. From the administration area, you can manage all facets of
your domain and website, including, email, databases, scripts, file
manager and much more.
All of their hosting packages come complete with the latest
versions of PHP, MySQL, Joomla, phpBB, Wordpress etc... They support
server side includes as well. The speed that my website loads is
average for its size and the number of graphics on it.
The one downfall to this provider is its support. They typically
reply to tickets within 24 hours, but depending on the issue, this
could be too long to wait. Their replies are generic, similar to
pre-typed responses that are copied and pasted. Most cases, their
reply doesn't help much as it isn't unique to your case.
They do however, have an extensive self help FAQ database with
video tutorials and step by step instructions, so most times you
will find the same reponse they email back to you in this database.
For the price and exceptional control panel and administration
area, I am extremely satified and plan on purchasing more packages
in the future.

Reviewer: Josephine
This host is simply unbeatable when it comes to service, packages
and uptime. My site has never gone down and my questions are always
answered quickly and with friendly, informal replies.

Reviewer: William
Happy with Netfirms Wordpress install. My search engine
ranking has improved every since I moved to Netfirms and started
using their customized one-click install of wordpress.

Reviewer: Cary
I've been with Netfirms for almost a decade. I love the ease and
clarity of the control panel, especially for my less
technically-adept clients. The only down side is that my artist
friends cannot post their whole portfolios, due to the prohibition
on nudes, even in paintings.

Reviewer: Joe
Up until today I was happy with Netfirms. Today their servers
have not been working all day, so I have 7 sites not working. I have
also noticed a slowdown with all of my sites as well. Reading some
of the other posts I'm wondering if my email accounts have also been
compromised with all of the spam I'm now getting.
