Net-Trend, established in 2002, is a company with a strong focus on quality and support. This is about all the information that we discovered about this company on its Web site other than the services that this company offers.

Features

Net-Trend provides cPanel to every customer, a tool that provides over fifty free scripts for blogs, bulletin boards, photo galleries, eCommerce, wikis and more. They also provide a private CGI-bin, PHP, Perl, FTP access, a file manager, SSI (Server Side Includes), cron jobs, an HTML WYSIWG editor and about twenty-five other tools for the first-time and for the experienced Web developer.

Customers can choose among three different Web hosting packages that differ only in price according to server space and bandwidth. SSH is allowed on a case-by-case basis.

Net-Trend also welcomes resellers. Each account created under their reseller plan will have its own end user control panel. All resellers have the power to adjust disk space and data transfer to suit each individual domain’s usage.

Reliability & Reputation

Net-Trend uses servers that have data redundancy with the RAID configuration and error-correcting memory modules that most other servers do not have. They utilize dual Xeon 2.4 Ghz with hyperthreading, 1 GB ECC registered RAM and their servers are continuously monitored every five minutes to ensure all essential services are online. Should a service fail, an engineer will be dispatched to the server immediately to resolve the problem.

Their secure data center features power backups, climate control and full fire protection to protect their servers. Your data will be transferred over multiple redundant DS-3 lines from 20 diverse backbones. This ensures line transmission redundancy and speed.

Net-Trend guarantees a 99.5% uptime and a 30-day money back guarantee.

Pricing

Net-Trend’s prices range from budget to just under inexpensive. The budget Web solution allows up to ten Web sites and the most expensive option includes unlimited domains. Unfortunately, users need to stay on top of their bandwidth usage, because if a Web site is found to be using an unacceptable amount of system resources, they have the right to suspend or terminate your account without notice. Their “normal practice is to suspend the website immediately upon discovery of unacceptable resource hogging; but we will still email the account owner, providing him/her a chance to remove the offending site or script.”

Therefore, CGI-based forums are not allowed on Net-Trend servers as they are known to be resource intensive in usage. IRC scripts are banned and if found, they reserve the right to terminate the account without notice. Scripts that emulate shell access are banned and will result in immediate account termination without notice.
