Hosting Comparison Chart
Hosting and Services Comparison Chart
Netwise Multimedia prides itself in offering what has to be the greatest professional website hosting deal in the country. Below we have listed a comparison chart of what you get with us verses what (in general) most other website developers and ISP's offer.
| Item | Netwise Multimedia | Providers in General |
| Website Speed | Website pages served quicker as fewer websites are hosted on a single server. We don't allow more than 10% of server load capacity being used at any given time. Page load speed plays an important role on whether people visiting your web page will wait for the page to load or go away. | They literally cram hundreds of websites on a single public server causing server loads to hover around 70% - 80% So the time taken to serve pages much slower. |
| Number of mailboxes | Unlimited (Fair usage) | Limited by the package you purchase |
| Number of email forwarders | Unlimited (Fair usage) | Limited by the package you purchase |
| Number of Email aliases | Unlimited (Fair usage) | Limited by the package you purchase |
| Mail Type | POP or IMAP (We prefer IMAP as we can back up your mail for you should your hard drive fail, your computer be stolen or your dog drools on your keyboard and shorts out your computer | Most offer POP or IMAP - if they offer IMAP it's usually without a backup service |
| Mail Pointing to Another Provider | If you use an MS Exchange Server, hosted MS exchange server, Office 365 Hosted mail or Google API services we will point your mail records to this provider. | Most other ISP's will point mail services too. |
| Mail and Website Backups | We provide 14 days worth of backups of both mail (IMAP) and your website. We can restore indidual mail folders. | Most other providers backup just the website. |
| Server-side Spam Filtering | All mail entering our servers AND leaving our servers is scanned and given a spam score. If mail coming in or out of the server scores above 4.5 it is pulled as spam and placed in your spam bucket. If it is an email you sent it will be returned to you notifying you that it was held back. Incoming mail receiving a high score is sent to the spam bucket where you can still retrieve it. If not retrieved within 14 days the server will delete it automatically. | Most ISP's check incoming mail only and some provide access to spam boxes, some don't. |
| Mail security | Our servers are well protected against mail theft. We take security very seriously. | We cannot comment on othewr ISP's security levels. |
| Data Traffic | We do not limit the amount of server traffic your hosting solution incurs monthly. | Most ISP's include a set amount of traffic in the hosting agreement. Thereafter you pay per MB. |
| SSL Certificates | This protects the data flow between your pc and the server. Banks use this kind of security for online banking and it is now a requirement for Google page one listing in organic searches. We offer free SSL certification free for each hosting solution. | Some provide a public low level common SSL certicates - one for all hosting solutions on each of their public servers. |
| Website Security | We offer specialised firewall software on every website. Our firewalls high levels of attack protection and the spamming of your website registration component. | None offered by most developers and ISP's. |
| Technical Support | We offer technical support for your website and your mail services that includes team viewing with you to help set up your mailboxes. | Most offer only basic support and will not teamview with you. |
| Support for hacked websites - Guarantee | If your website is hosted on our servers, we take full responsibility should your website ever be hacked. We will restore your website at our cost, not yours. If you are hosting elsewhere this does not apply. | ISP's offer NO support for a hacked site and most Deverlopers will charge you for fixing or redeveloping your website. |
