Cairo Serv Hosting and Internet Solutions

Cairo Serv is a web-hosting service provider specializing in cost effective hosting solutions designed to meet the needs of both small and large operations. Founded in 2007, the firm has built its reputation on offering fast and reliable hosting services at affordable price points. Cairo Serv’s hosting plans run the gamut from basic shared hosting solutions aimed at independent entrepreneurs and small scale bloggers to VPS and dedicated server accounts for mid-sized to large scale business enterprises.

Services and Specializations

Cairo Serv aims to be a full service web-hosting company. To that end they offer three distinct types of web-hosting services for their clients, including shared hosting plans, VPS hosting platforms, and dedicated server accounts. All of Cairo Serv’s hosting plans include cPanel access, preinstalled scripts for easy app integration, and full support for popular website management systems such as WordPress and Zen Cart.

• VIP Web-Hosting — Cairo Serv’s basic web-hosting services are competitively priced, while still managing to include a decent range of features. All shared hosting plans receive unlimited bandwidth, unlimited FTP accounts and email addresses, and unlimited sub-domains. The firm’s basic hosting plans are also fully DDoS protected, and benefit from daily backups and 24/7 technical support. Cairo Serv’s VIP plans are best suited for independent bloggers, and small scale static and ecommerce sites.
• VPS Hosting — Cairo Serv’s VPS hosting plans are available for both Windows and Linux operating systems. All of the firm’s VPS solutions offer fully managed load balancing, firewall and antivirus protection, and 24/7 monitoring and support. It’s worth noting that while the firm’s Linux and Windows VPS hosting plans are largely comparable, there are some distinct differences in RAM and bandwidth allowances. There is also a definite price difference, with the company’ Linux-based hosting plans being somewhat more affordable.
• Dedicated Server Plans — for those enterprises that need more control over their hosting services, or who have greater data and security demands, Cairo Serv offers dedicated server platforms. These hosting plans include unlimited bandwidth with up to 4GB RAM and 2X500GB hard drives. The firm’s dedicated server plans are available for both Linux and Windows operating systems, and feature firewall and antivirus protection as well as 24/7 monitoring and support. It is unclear, however, if Cairo Serv offers a fully managed option for their dedicated server accounts.

Support and Customer Service

All of Cairo Serv’s hosting plans include 24/7 technical support via email, telephone, or online chat. The firm guarantees 99.9% uptime for all clients, regardless of hosting plan, and offers a full 30 day money back guarantee to all account holders.

Billing and Payment

Cairo Serv accepts PayPal along with most major credit cards, including MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover.

What We Couldn’t Find

Cairo Serv provides little in the way of information concerning their server hardware or the datacenters in which they are maintained. Some of the firm’s hosting plans (specifically their dedicated server and VPS plans for Linux) are hosted in US-based datacenters, while others appear to be hosted out of the company’s Egypt-based centers. Whether these are owned and operated by Cairo Serv is unclear, and no specific data is available concerning server hardware, maintenance, or on-site security protocols.

Conclusion

Cairo Serv offers competitively priced web-hosting solutions for enterprises of all sizes, and their service plans include a solid roster of features. Bloggers and small business owners will likely find the firm’s basic hosting plans more than adequate, and at a cost that fits in with more modest operating budgets. Mid-sized operations and larger scale enterprises will just as likely be attracted to the firm’s VPS and dedicated server plans, though they may be slightly put off by the lack of information concerning the company’s hardware and datacenter infrastructure. The lack of managed hosting solutions would also suggest that those opting for either VPS or dedicated server plans should figure in the possible extra costs of employing their own experienced IT team to manage their data and web applications.
