A ticket system is also available for customers to monitor their issues and raise new support requests. A number of positive testimonials are available on their site however reviews posted on external sites are not positive.

Company Information
StartLogic has over 100,000 customers currently using their services. They claim to be one of the leading providers of web hosting services in the industry however they fail to back that claim up with awards or recognitions. They only won a single award in 2009 from ConsumerRankings.com, while none were won in 2008. This is a sharp contrast to 2006 and 2005 when they won multiple awards in a year which makes one question their quality of service in recent years.

They do not own their own datacenters but utilize two located in Boston, MA. As would be expected redundancy in aspects such as power and cooling are provided.

Reviews such as this are not meant to act as a referral to the company. They are meant for educational purposes only.

While they do feature hosting plans at affordable prices, the downward trend in the awards won per year might want to make individuals research the company in detail before signing up with their services.
