Argon Hosting has been providing Web hosting solutions since 1999. The company is headquartered in Apopka, Florida. According to the Web site, Argon Hosting is “the #1 place to host your Web site.”

Features

This company offers Web hosting plans. There are three shared hosting plans available from Starter to Elite. All vary with their bandwidth and storage solutions according to price. All include unlimited POP3 email boxes and sub domains, FTP access, one MySQL database, and Web development tools including FrontPage and Perl. The control panel is Plesk, powered by a comprehensive set of features such as Spam Assassin, Site Builder tools, and osCommerce Ecommerce software. All plans have access to add-ons such as additional disk space and bandwidth, a static IP address, additional MySQL databases, and SSL certificates. Add-ons can be purchased with the plans for additional monthly or annual fees.

In addition to shared hosting services, Argon Hosting offers custom-built Semi-Dedicated and Dedicated Servers. Dedicated Servers provide more storage, security, and control than shared hosting, which is something high-volume enterprise customers may require. These servers also offer 100% network uptime and generous data transfer starting at 1500 GB. Custom quotes for services are available by calling Argon’s sales department.

Argon Hosting also offers four Reseller hosting packages from Lite to Pro. Reseller hosting plan features include ultra-fast servers, an extensive support desk, 99.9% uptime, and the latest Plesk 7 control panel. Reseller plans allow customers to set their own plan limits and client prices. In addition, Argon stays behind the scenes, providing all needed support while remaining anonymous to the customers’ clients.

In addition to hosting services, Argon Hosting offers SiteBuilder, a Web application designed to make creating and managing a personal or business Web site as easy as possible. Argon is currently offering customers a seven day free trial of this service. Argon also offers Site Lube, a full suite of marketing tools designed to help customers create a “Search Engine Friendly” Web site. Site Lube also includes a search engine submission service. The company provides an Affiliate program as well, with percentage commission for every sale.

Reliability & Reputation

Argon Hosting offers an uptime of at least 99.9% for all hosting services, offering fast connections and nightly backups. The servers are monitored 24/7. Argon provides a highly redundant network configuration co-developed with Cisco to protect against single points of failure at the shared network level. Customers can check the status of the server at any time from the support page. The Web site also dedicates an entire page to customer testimonials praising Argon’s reliability, professionalism, and great service.

Pricing

Argon Hosting offers a 30 day money back guarantee. Hosting plans are available with annual, quarterly or monthly billing options, with greater savings available to customers choosing to pay annually. Argon Hosting accepts payment via credit card. All plans include free setup.

Support

Argon Hosting support contains an online knowledge base where customers may seek help with issues, questions, or concerns. Downloadable materials such as manuals and guides for software and applications are available for reference. There is also a support ticket system available 24/7, plus toll-free phone and Live Chat support.
