General Impression
World Class Web Hosting Services

Consistently ranked among the top ten web hosting providers worldwide, EasyCGI has demonstrated its ability to provide reliable and advanced hosting services.

EasyCGI has custom developed an infinitely-expandable shared web hosting platform, which allows for complete flexibility. This enhances our ability to offer new features and cutting edge technology upon availability. Our control panel allows our customers to administer every aspect of their account at any time, from any location. EasyCGI's three tiers of shared web hosting solutions make the company's services suitable for a wide range of individuals and companies looking to host web sites ranging from simple to complex.

eXtreme Guarantee
A 30-day Money-back Guarantee is offered with all of our hosting plans, and ensures that if you are not completely satisfied with our service, within the first 30 days, for any reason, you can cancel your account and receive a full refund on all hosting fees.

The eXtreme Guarantee represents our eXtreme commitment to the quality of the products we offer. It also guarantees that the services we provide will always be the fastest, most advanced, most reliable and most highly supported available. We have broken down the eXtreme guarantee into four feature sets below:

Technology
* Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS7) offer the most advanced hosting server platform, designed to power the next-generation applications. Windows Server 2008 allows you to develop, deliver, and manage rich user experiences while IIS7 provides a secure, easy to manage platform for developing and reliably hosting web applications and services. EasyCGI proves its commitment to providing cutting edge technology by offering Windows 2008 hosting prior to Microsoft's official release.
* The EasyCGI control panel is the most advanced, feature-filled control panel for Windows web hosting available on the market, hands down. Our control panel is developed completely in-house, giving us the ability to wrap new and existing features around our users' needs, the Windows OS, and its applications.
* EasyCGI supports all of the latest web hosting related technologies for Windows. We are constantly updating our systems, software, and services to accommodate the latest and greatest technology as it becomes available.

Speed
* With bandwidth allowances of up to 7,500 GB per month, you can be sure we are serious about speed. Transfer rates from EasyCGI's network will always max out your Internet connection.
* EasyCGI's network load is kept extremely low, which produces some of the fastest ping times on the Internet.
* The entire EasyCGI network is redundantly interconnected with fiber optic 1000 Mbps (Gigabit) ethernet.
* EasyCGI maintains two 1000 Mbps (Gigabit) ethernet connections to the Internet. Each of these lines is 1,500 times faster than a broadband DSL connection!

Support
* Our expert staff can quickly and efficiently resolve even the most complex problems you may encounter while developing your website.
* 24x7 support is a standard feature on all EasyCGI accounts. Support representatives are available 365 days a year via email, telephone, or our ticketing system.
* View testimonials to see real people that swear by our quality support.

Reliability
* EasyCGI directly peers with 7 of the largest Internet backbones: UUNET (Verizon/MCI), Sprint, Savvis, Verio, Global Crossing, InterNAP and NAC.
* Networks and servers are monitored 24x7 to provide the most secure system possible.
* Redundant GigE fiber optic ethernet Internet uplinks to varied geographic locations.
* Fiber optic ethernet transit is provided by Verizon and Optimum Lightpath. Both are highly redundant SONET ring networks with 100% uptime.
* Fully redundant Cisco networking hardware in our datacenter with isolated paths out each of our Internet uplinks.
* EasyCGI uses only top of the line Dell hardware with RAID mirroring and 4 hour on site support contracts.
* Backups on network storage make data recovery highly accessible. Even in a disaster recovery scenario, a server can be completely restored within two hours.

Linux VPS Hosting
EasyCGI's Linux VPS (Virtual Private Server) service gives customers a flexible and secure hosting solution. Manage your own server to deploy community portals and Web applications with technologies such as PHP, MySQL and Perl. EasyCGI's VPS hosting plans allow you to allocate separate resources for each one of your clients, run your own private nameservers, set up mail servers and database servers. These cost efficient Virtual Private Server plans are backed by a 30-day Money-back Guarantee and 24x7 Support.

EasyCGI Reseller Programs
At EasyCGI we believe that resellers are key to our success. Our robust hosting architecture, coupled with our experienced reseller management team, make us a proven leader in the reseller hosting marketplace. That's why thousands of web designers, developers, online marketing companies and advertising agencies are offering our services globally.

Data Center
EasyCGI utilizes two data centers in the Boston, MA area. Combined, they occupy over 2400 square feet of space, comprised of over 800 Servers and half a Petabyte of storage. Each center is equipped with:

* 7/24 security
* and have the same network architecture and equipment.
* Both data centers run on N+1 power (both A/C and D/C)

Our solid, secure network infrastructure is comprised of a pooled server environment, which gives virtually any server on our network the ability to access Web site files when a request occurs. This means that the first machine available will be the one to serve a customer's Web pages, giving our customer sites faster loading times and fewer service interruptions than traditional hosting infrastructures.

EasyCGI Support Staff
The Internet and web hosting industries are built on new and constantly changing technologies. A web hosting company must have the experience and knowledge to help its customers through the process and eliminate confusion. Our highly knowledgeable staff is trained to provide quick resolutions to technical problems, allowing the customer to focus on more important aspects of their business.

Our front-end network consists of:
* 2 firewalls incorporating IDP technology cross-connected to the outside world with BGP border gateway protocol.
* dual redundant M7I routers

Site data is parsed by our dual Big Iron load balancers and is then managed by our DELL servers, which are split into application pools (Web, FTP, incoming mail, etc.). This type of architecture allows us to customize each machine to the service it performs, which means more density per box, and ultimately, faster and more reliable services. No pool lives entirely on one rack. Therefore, even the loss of a rack's switch or its power will not take that service pool down.

Customer testimonials

Specializing in seminars on web site promotion, I'm often asked during the FAQ session, who I trust most when it comes to web hosting. Since I found myself in Easy CGI client-oriented and business-driven environment 2 years ago, I always recommend it for incredible connectivity and speed of data maintenance. It's not so simple to get across such level of professional integrity as Easy CGI features ... I mean that

News

Easy CGI Offers Password Protection - Web hosting provider Easy CGI (easycgi.com) announced on Thursday it now provides a form-based password protection option for all its Windows 2008 hosting products.


This new option enables customizable forms authentication for any website, providing greater online security. The Windows Server 2008 password protection is offered as a free option for customers.

Customizable forms authentication enables users to selectively restrict access to particular areas. When an unauthenticated visitor lands on a restricted page, they are automatically re-directed to a login form or a registration page.

"This provides an optimal, flexible development environment for our customers, which has always been a priority for us," says Easy CGI president Dan Richfield. "Where many other providers still only offer solutions with no method of customization, and often cannot secure all content equally, Easy CGI offers a cutting-edge, fully customizable Forms Authentication solution for all of its Windows 2008 customers."

Microsoft's Windows Server version 2008 with IIS 7.0 offers a more easily configured forms authentication model than older versions. It can be configured at any level of a customer's website, protecting any type of resource from unauthorized access, without making any changes to the site's existing content. This advanced solution can be easily administered in the customer's Easy CGI hosting control panel.

Password protection is an important feature when it comes to administration pages, image gallery, account page and other online applications and resources. Easy GGI says the solution enables developers to customize their own forms authentication solution.

Earlier this month, Easy CGI introduced two new Windows virtual private server plans and a range of new Linux-based VPS plans.

Charliebrm ( charlie@l... )
The most disappointing part is that Netfirms - that hasn't given me an ounce of trouble - referred me to EasyCGI to host a Windows site they don't support. The companies seem to be sistered. Their sales and service pages are almost identical, it's actually easy to confuse the two.

EasyCGI is like talking to a brick wall. They don't seem to have any interest in making things simple or standard. My site's basic coding and dozens of application files had to be modified to suit their way of [...]

at first Easy CGI seems ok, no issues with hosting, however if you have a problem with your site, watchout! Their customer service is abysmal and they do not have the technical expertise to fix problems that their system causes. Our site has been down for 2 weeks after an SSL renewal with them, and they have on numerous occasions told me their highest level tech people were working on it, made numerous promises to call me, and guess what? Nothing has been done, and no communication from [...]

Unbelievably bad! At a first glance they look good, their website looks professional and they offer a range of services. In reality they are completely unreliable, their servers often run very slow and our site goes offline at least once a month. Their tech support sometimes give a fast response but the problem is that they are completely incompetent. I am often in complete disbelief when reading some of their replies. I'm sure the job interview for a tech support position at EasyCGI consists [...]

Stay away.

Hosting 10+ domains with EasyCGI (previously 20+). Was "sold" to EasyCGI by my ex-hosting service (webstrikesolutions).

Although EasyCGI hosting packages are full of features for a relatively reasonable cost, no owner or administrator wants his/her website to be down for 3 or more days due to failure of tech support to solve the problem or at least read the support ticket and respond to the complaint. Downs are even much more frequent in the past 6-9 months. Their "24x7 Live [...]

I can only say one thing - stay away from this company!

I was a happy customer of an excellent hosting company called WebStrikeSolution.
Unfortunately, EasyCGI bought Webstrike business along with all the customers database on March 2009, along with my hosting account which was migrated to EasyCGI.
The migration process itself was terrible and unprofessional with many unacceptable problems:
1. EasyCGI copied the site to the wrong location on their server (IIS was not pointing to the root [...]

Hmmm, everything said below actually sums up my own experience - We were with Webstrike for about 4 years and up-time/service was pretty good. Then EasyCGI came into the picture and it has been nothing but hell ever since. There really needs to be a class-action law-suit brought against these guys because seriously, they are screwing hundreds, if not thousands of customers with completely UNNACCEPTABLE downtimes (especially for email) and then just say they are sorry and decided to take care of [...]

Since 1999 I have been hosting websites. I was with Webstrike when they were babies. Never was I disappointed with their support. They did screw up a couple of times but they knew their stuff and they were quick and witty.

With Easy CGI, my world went upside down. I am hosting 12 websites with them and 4 of them are database driven. I started growing an ulcer from the day Webstrike was bought. After the merge, they planned to roll out some kind of automated transfer and for sure it [...]

After about a week of back and forth over the phone, I finally got my email working again. My websites? Not so much. I've been having trouble for months [...]

I could write pages about how Easycgi has gone from good to the most horrible hosting place on Earth. As of now my website has been down for 24 hours and there has been no activity on the ticket I opened. This has happened twice just in the last two weeks. Our site is frequently down, the 99.99% uptime is a huge fraud - and that is an understatement.
Today, I am done with them. I am moving. I have redone the site twice. I feel bad that I ever suggested them to anyone, because they are in the [...]

I have 2 and half dozen sites hosted with Easy CGI. Plan on migrating off as individual renewal times are up.

I have sites sparatically dissappear. Down time/failures occur way too often. Customer Service is politely useless. Takes too long to resolve issues. Disconnect between tech and CSR - nobody knows what's going on.

It's not my customers' fault - I've had to eat thousands of dollars chasing a CSR or having to rebuild databases. I would be suprised if EasyCGI is around long enough to [...]

I will state what the problem is in a chat or email and they will continually ask me what the problem is. I tell the over and over and I am pretty sure they know how to read and figure it out!

I've dealt with quite a few hosts... this is by far the worst. I used to host with WebStrike and NEVER had any trouble... for the past few months though, since EasyCGI took over, the same problems keep cropping up. For over month our sites would go down at least twice a week and stay offline for a couple of hours... and today even www.easycgi.com has gone down (for over half an hour and counting)... That says a lot when they can't even keep their own site up and running.

They are a complete disaster. I have never dealt with a more infuriating bunch of idiots. I was happily hosting my sites with Webstrike until the Endurance International Group bought out Webstrike and pushed all of the customers across to EasyCGI.

When they performed the migration they actually changed the code in my websites to fit with their new hosting platform. And that is surely enough to avoid them right there. Of course, after the migration none of my sites worked , despite numerous [...]

Extremely Upset ( craphosting@e... )
I too was merged over from webstrikesolutions to easy cgi unwillingly, I have about 30 sites and was with webstrike since 98. I was hoping Will Kruss put us in good hands, but that couldnt be farther from the truth.

Tech support at easycgi is the worst, cancelling sites takes days (they will charge your card even if you cancel them 2 days ahead of time, still waitng for refund), they deleted the wrong account on request, although I moved the deleted account to another host, I am still [...]

Worst hosting I've ever experienced in over 14 years of hosting sites. The frontline technicians (if you can call them that) are some of the most inept people in the world! Or perhaps I should show some compassion in that it's clear they are given a script of responses to use. It's pure bullshit, and an insult to highly technical people. If you're a reseller, you typically know quite a bit about how hosting works - EasyCGI must think their customers are all stupid, which is evidenced by their [...]

If these guys (Easy CGI) would own a funeral parlour nobody would die! The only "easy" thing about Easy CGI is the way they collect your money. Resetting passwords without permission far beyond stupidity. To everybody who uses their hosting "services": GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!!! Easy CGI sucks harder then a vacum cleaner in outer space.

As others here in the reviews, we are a reseller that were previously perfectly happy with webstrike. been there for years. Great hosting, nice price and good service. recently we moved to EasyCGI (unasked for) and ever since we are having trouble trouble and more trouble. Moved but not working, errors keep coming up. sites offline for a week or so, no matter how often you contact 24/7 support.. etc etc.. These boys and girls are really really horrible in their service. The price may seem good [...]

Was with webstrike and everything was fine. Then these EasyCGI took over and everything tuned in to a DISASTER.
First they changed the IP address and since I use separate name servers the website broke immediately. When I found this out it took almost a day for the mickey at tech support to figure this out.
So then I point to the new IP address and strangely no PHP script executes. But they blame it on my name servers.
So now I change the nameservers (breaking some other services that I have [...]

EasyCGI is a true rip-off.

I'm a developer/reseller. My database-driven websites (that have been moved to EasyCGI because of an acquisition that I never opted for) now crash all the time.

Tech support are very weak and have a very wrong understanding of client's needs. When I report a "dead" website, which happens VERY frequently, their final reply is always "our engineers will fix the issue within 48 hours and have you informed". Imagine my client's business crashing very often and then [...]

Count me as as a VERY SATISFIED WEBSTRIKE CUSTOMER for years. And VERY DISSATISFIED WITH EASYCGI.

Five sites but two very critical, blow out of the water during transition and a very embarrassing and costly time for me. They could transition some but not all simple Wordpress Linux sites. Took days to fix a .net site.

Now I have three Wordpress sites all down at once, and chat person thinking it is my problem, telling me to check a config file, but he gave up when I asked him a tough [...]

Uhoh. my clients site has been on webstrike for the last year, successfully. then the migration happened and we are having all sorts of php problems. we are novices, and we thought it was us... could it be easycgi? does anyone have a suggestion about a different, safe, good web hoster?

Wow, I got a scare today.
I've been using webstrikesolutions for years with excellent support.
My site went down today and I find out that they were bought out by easyCGI and my account was cancelled without notice.

I called the easycgi help desk and they say they notified me via email (never received) and my website has been shutdown and all files unavailable. I can't explain to you the sick feeling I had hearing this.

Eventually I get a person on the phone that seemed to know more. He [...]

I was a customer with webstrike solutions, in the change over they broke my sites and still have not fixed them completely after a month. Getting anything done re: tech support through their chat interface takes for ever. The main part of my site has been going down repeatedly, sometimes daily. They have a response policy of 24 to 48 hours. As a webstrike customer I was used to less than an hour. I tried to talk with the owner to warn him he was probably close to losing his investment in [...]

THE HORROR, THE HORROR

I am another former and then VERY HAPPY customer of Webstrikesolutions for nine years. Now I am a present and VERY UNHAPPY customer of CGI for one month. I have only two sites - but they are for my two small businesses. One migrated fine but the other was completely botched causing two mySQL driven sections of the site (forum and blog) to be rendered unusable to the users of my site and it appears at least one year's worth of data may have been lost from both [...]

HORRIBLE EASY CGI EXPERIENCE

We are customers of Easycgi as a result of Easycgi's purchase of Webstrikesolutions .. we had 68 websites moved and just about all of them had problems .. yet, when I moved the non-functioning websites to another host like 1and1 and fortehosting .. the sites worked without any modification of code.

Although tech support has been courteous, they seem to have problems configuring the server properly. Some sites have been down over 5 days and after going around [...]

I had been a VERY content customer of Webstrike Solutions for over 10 years. Great support and NEVER had my sight go down (that I'm aware of).

In the last week since the migration to EasyCGI, my site has been down 3 times. Support has been no quicker than a 12 hour response. They blamed my code... the same code that has been working perfectly with Webstrike.

I can't imagine any reason for staying with them. I'll be taking all 3 of my sites to another provider. I'd gladly pay twice [...]

I signed up with Webstrike in February and In March I was informed that I had to move to EasyCGI. Nightmare starts! I request migration for the 9th for various business reasons. After 18 days of being given the runaround and the same robotic responses after the other, the site was still not migrated. I gave up and paid again for another host.
Useless! Utterly useless Stay away!!

EasyCGI is the Katrina of web hosts. We were satisfied Webstrike customers but the EasyCGI migration has been a nightmare. We are biting the bullet and moving 16 sites to different hosts. Of course we won't be able to bill a penny of that work.

EasyCGI migrated three commerce sites this weekend and killed all three of them. They disabled the SSL directories and moved the sites to a shared IP from the unique IPs we've been paying for. I submitted trouble tickets which have been ignored. The [...]

Not a serious hosting service. I was moved here recently after EasyCGI acquired Webstrikesolutions which was a respectful and responsible service.

Now with only a week of hosting with EasyCGI I'm facing many sorts of problems. They have changed account name from those I had on Webstrikesolutions. This might be their right, but after keeping old password for a few days, they're also forcing clients, without prior notice, to change their passwords. It could have been fine if I had only one or [...]

Be VERY wary of EasyCGI. We, like others here, loved them for years. The last 12 months, however, have been an absolute nightmare!

1. For prior 5 years, virtually no down-time. Past 12 months, down at least 2 days/month.
2. Prior 5 years, no problems ever logging in or loading files. Past 12 months, they have reset passwords on a crazy scale (must have had security breaches), but they send the passwords into oblivion. They will tell you they sent you an email with the updates, but it [...]

Like another reviewer here, I have long been an EasyCGI customer. In fact, I am a reseller with 10+ sites hosted with them. Their migration to the "new platform" (perhaps they were bought out?) has been a living hell. I cringed when I got the emails announcing their excitement over transferring to this so-called new platform. And when it finally happened, site after site fell into one problem after another. I have had to deal with upset clients asking why their email wouldn't work, why their [...]

My opinion of EasyCGI? CRAP CRAP CRAP. After several years of faithful patronage a whole website is deleted without any explanation, or even an apology. EasyCGI have a lot to answer for, but I doubt they will. IF YOU VALUE YOUR WEBSITE DO NOT USE EASYCGI!!!!

DO NOT CONSIDER EasyCGI under any circumstances!! I was a loyal customer for 5 years and this recent forced migration brought my site down and I've been told after weeks of tech support promises that I now need to find a new hosting company. EasyCGI is completely incompetent. They migrated my site without any testing and they had no backout plan. There was no sense of urgency to restore my site once I notified them of the outage. I've lost weeks worth of revenue, all of my advertisers have [...]

After a week long outage they destroyed my web site because EASYCGI DOES NOT DO REGULAR BACKUPS! DO NOT HOST SITES WITH THEM IF YOU COUNT ON ANY TYPE OF BACKUP or HIGH UPTIME In last 2 months we had over 5 outages that lasted 1-2 days each. Starting last week our web site has been down for over 5 days. When I finally start work on it myself and created new SQL connection, I discovered that SQL Database has been lost! They managed to restore SQL DB to version that is 10-12 months OLD! We [...]

They are collapsing. Grab your backup (if you can) and run away. After fatal migration 2 months ago nothing works (my web sites, control panel, ftp, sql access) at least couple times a week. We have been down on daily basis for over a week. They moved tech support to Indian and you will not be able to get any updates on the status for 24 hours at least if you are very lucky. This company will not last long. RUN IF YOU CAN. EASYCGI IS CRAP!
