Easy CGI strives to be on the leading edge of the Web hosting industry through superior technology, competitive pricing, and excellent customer service. Easy CGI's vision for the future is to become an industry leader by maintaining steady customer and revenue growth, while continuing to provide excellent service.

Business Hosting

Easy CGI's advanced plan includes 350GB of disk space and 3500GB bandwidth per month, 500 POP3 Email Accounts and 50 MySQL Databases. The Advanced plan also includes website building software, web stats, OSCommerce, phpBB Forum, DotNetNuke, Community Server, and nGallery Image Gallery.

Editor's Note: Easy CGI doesn't include a domain name with their hosting plans. Just something to keep in mind when comparing hosting plans.

Overall Performance

Reliability
Easy CGI guarantees 99.9% uptime. Their internet connection is provided by redundant Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) fiber optic uplinks to varied geographic locations. They maintain direct connections to some of the largest backbones on the internet and use redundant Cisco Routers to connect their servers.

Price Value
Easy CGI is not a domain registrar so you have to purchase your domains elsewhere. Their hosting packages are priced the same as hosts that register domains and include them in their packages which makes Easy CGI's price value a lower than their competition.

Control Panel
The Easy CGI Hosting Control Panel allows customers to administer every aspect of their account at any time, from any location. The control panel is developed completely in-house and consistently updated based on users´ needs. Easy CGI's control panel can be difficult for first time users.

Customer Support
Easy CGI's knowledgeable support team is available 24/7 by phone (toll-free), email, and live chat. Their online help guides, knowledgebase, and tutorials are also very helpful.

Editor's Note: Our webmasters found their control panel could be difficult for first time users. The trade off is that they have a strong customer support team that can help you figure it out.
