Background
Business Name: RFE Hosting
Year of foundation: 2008
Location: Sandy, Utah, USA
BBB Accreditation: No
Market Size: > 600 websites (#141 in HRank list)
Growth Status: (by websites quantity): Increasing
American hosting company RFEHosting.com is a privately owned business. They have recently gone public and currently offer a wide range of services for clients around the world.
Yet, it doesn’t perform as good as it promises as far as we can say.
Offers and Pricing
| Name | Domains | Disk | Bandwidth | Min Price | Billing Term |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RFE Starter | 1 | 5 Gb | 100 Gb | $6.76 | 36 Mo |
| RFE Advanced | 5 | 10 Gb | 500 Gb | $9.31 | 36 Mo |
| RFE Pro | Unlim | 50 Gb | 1000 Gb | $15.26 | 36 Mo |
Currently, there are 3 shared hosting plans on offer.
They can be purchased monthly as well as for 1, 2 and 3 years.
The prices are quite inexpensive in comparison with other hosting companies.
36-month prices (in the table above) are more beneficial in terms of a purchase as the monthly prices are much higher in comparison: $7.95/mo,
$10.95/mo, and $17.95/mo.
No setup fees.
Besides, RFE Hosting offers a possibility to get a complete refund within 30 days if you’re not satisfied with their work.
Support
Instant Technical Live Support: No
Their support options are limited to emails, a toll-free phone number and a ticket system.
No live chat. It is mentioned on their contact page but doesn’t seem to be active as there is no link directing anywhere from it. And the following message “If Live chat is offline, please leave a message.” seems to be there forever.
Report for 2018
- The provider is an interesting case as its performance wasn’t the best (#229, 2.8 HRank), yet, its number of websites only increased.
- Uptime of RFEHosting.com was a disaster in 2018. It had lengthy periods of ~96%, ~98% and some ~87% cases in the monitoring period.
- Also, instead of getting faster its response from the domains of the Shared IPs only grew slower in 2018: from ~880ms in summer to 1,300ms at the end of the year.
- Yet, as we said, not only they didn’t lose any websites but they increased both the number of their Shared IPs and the number of their websites. Which is really unusual with such a performance chart.
