506 Host Review

Published

on

506 Host has been online from what I can tell since 2006, they offer the following services domain registration, shared hosting, VPS, semi-dedicated and dedicated servers. they have been around for some time so this is good and they are using SSD drives on all their servers, their shared plans are on what they call a True cloud platform, they offer 24×7 support and VPN access, they use Memcached, Node.js, and Varnish to help speed up your shared hosting services, they offer daily backups, 30-day money-back guarantee, 99.9% uptime claim like every other host, back-up diesel generators connected to 2.5 Gbit network adapter.
