Net4 web hosting, headquartered in Noida, India, has 11 offices and 7 data centers, all located in key business hubs in India. This alone sets Net4.in hosting apart from many of its competitors in India; unlike other web hosting companies, Net4.in is a solidly established India-based company. This may be a real benefit to some customers who appreciate the value of local service. It's not surprising, then, that Net4.in is a leader in the Indian web-hosting market, hosting over 80,000 websites and over a million business email accounts.
With 10 years of profitable history behind it, Net4.in has proven to be a stable web hosting business – also a point in its favour. With unlimited data transfer, instant activation, 99.9% uptime guarantee and 24/7 help-desk support, Net4.in offers a robust option for India-based web hosting packages.
Net4.in web hosting plans are designed by the user: the price is calculated by the shared hosting space, platform, and number and type of databases requested. This will be an advantage to web hosting customers who do not wish to pay for space and items they won't use; on the other hand, a new web hosting customer might not have the knowledge or confidence to build their own plans. If you're looking for shared web hosting and know exactly what you want, Net4 might be the web host for you!
Price Value
As mentioned above, the Net4.in web hosting plans are custom-built by the customer. The price will depend on the space and features required; this can be a real benefit (and money-saver!) for savvy web hosting customers. After all, who wants to pay for services they won't use? All hosting plans come with unlimited data transfer, a 99.9% uptime guarantee, Server Side Includes, customer support for PHP.INI, phpmyadmin, cron jobs, and flash. There are a number of add-on features, including FrontPage server extensions and Webalizer web stats.
Net4.in web hosting can offer impressive price value to the web hosting customer who knows how to build a hosting plan; others should call for sales assistance before starting. Note: website builders and domain names are not included with Net4.in hosting plans; these are available for purchase separately.
Reliability
Net4 web hosting comes with a 99.9% uptime guarantee, and 24/7 network and server security monitoring. Net4.in operates a pan-India network of seven data centers and 15 Network Points of Presence across the country. Together, these provide high levels of availability, scalability, and security.
Net4.in manages all of the administration, security, backups, and upgrades of its servers; this company is in control of its hardware and infrastructure and has the experience to do it well.
Control Panel
The Net4 web hosting control panel was designed by Net4 specifically for their customers. While it doesn't have the same reputation for stability and ease of use as cPanel control panel, it is a robust control panel allowing for the full administration – including renewal and upgrades of accounts – of your Net4 web hosting accounts.
Net4.in plans to offer cPanel hosting in the near future.
Customer Support
Net4.in web hosting offers live phone and email support, 24/7. Net4.in also has an easy-to-use searchable knowledgebase of help articles and videos for self-serve assistance.
