Unlike other hosting companies, Intermedia doesn’t outsource or just resell another company’s hosting and control panel platform.
Our Microsoft Web professionals have built our Windows Web hosting platform from top to bottom to be the most robust, up-to-date and complete solution available.
Our competitors consciously skip some features and don’t have the talent and experience to implement others. Many are forced to wait for a third party to develop and implement the features that developers need.
Intermedia is the one true Windows Web hosting solution for Microsoft developers. Here’s how we stack up against the competition:
Intermedia |
Others |
|
Reliability/Security/Performance | ||
| Every Web site hosted in its own isolated application pool in IIS. | Yes. Other Web sites on the server that have bad code will not harm the performance of our Web site. Intermedia implemented this more secure, more reliable architecture | Rarely. When one pool is restarted, dozens of Web sites lose their sessions. Your Web sites and applications will suffer |
| Every Web site is given its own dedicated IP | Yes. It’s better for security, control and compatibility to give each Web site its own IP address | Rarely. It’s cheaper and easier to not have a separate IP for each site |
| Every Web server is a high-quality Dell Web server in one of the most important datacenters in the USA | Yes. Intermedia only selects the best vendors and infrastructure, regardless of cost | No. Other providers use low-cost or self-assembled servers and are co-located in low-grade facilities |
Flexibility and Control | ||
| Every account includes the HostPilot Control Panel for Web site and server configuration | Yes. Our control panel includes features the others only dream about, including: ability for customers to set custom error pages, restrict address by IP, create site users, and even start/stop their server | No. Most control panels only include basic functionality |
| Every Web hosting account includes flexible tools that you need to run a successful Web site | Yes. We include the ability for customers to schedule a task on the Web server, set permissions, do SQL backup and restore, require SSL for authoring and even install custom components* | No. These features are hardly ever seen at the competition |
Modern and Forward thinking | ||
| Web hosting plans include the latest stable and secure software versions | Yes. Intermedia, updates its servers frequently. We also update our Web hosting platform and only run the latest version, for example DotNetNuke 4, Community Server 2, PHP 5 | No. Other hosting providers update their software versions slowly or not at all. Many are forced to wait for a vendor to make updates |
