123 Web Host Review

123 Web Host says they have been around since 2002 which is great because it means they probably will be around tomorrow. They offer 24/7/365 support which any decent hosting company should nowadays if they don’t look for a new host that is if you are on a managed service. 123 Web Host uses Dell and SuperMicro hardware so that’s another premium, like most hosts they claim a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

123 Web Host claims to be a green host supporting the reforestation and development of renewable energy sources so this is definitely a plus and they have shared options using either a cPanel, Plesk, or DirectAdmin control panel. Their shared hosting prices start out at $3.95 and go up from there for either of the 3 control panels, comes with Fantastico + Softaculous, free SSL, Raid-10, SSD, Money-Back Guarantee, Free Cloudflare CDN, 10 Gb/s Redundant Network, L3 Optimized for faster page loads, 24/7 Network Monitoring, Quadruple Redundant Network, Backup Generators, Servers tunes especially for WordPress, Dedicated Ip’s for $2.50 a month, MariaDB and more. Shared servers are located in the United States or Germany.

123 Web Host offer VPS with a starter price of $20 a month or $220 a year and rise from there from what I can see they only offer Linux for the VPS but you can choose one of the following Operating Systems – CentOS 5 or 6 or 7, Ubuntu 14 or 16, Debian 8, Fedora 20 or 23 although it doesn’t list server hardware I imagine it is the same as the shared, and they are hosted in the USA or Germany, your choice!

Reseller hosting is pretty much the same as the rest except for pricing which starts out at $9.95 a month and goes up from there.
