F5/MVH Internet Services Introduction
F5/MVH Internet Services is a Canada-based Hosting company that offers a wide mix of hosting packages, including personal, business, dedicated, and application hosting. F5/MVH started as two companies, F5 Hosting (founded in 2001) and Virtual Hosting (2002), which merged in 2007. In 2014, they also acquired 1stcom Web Hosting.
Services and Specializations
F5/MVH offers several levels of shared hosting, both for personal use and business class sites. All plans include cPanel, a free site builder, unlimited email accounts, webmail, Softaculous 1-click installations, web statistics, virus and spam protection, a MySql database, Secure Shell, and FTP access. Personal plans vary based on storage requirements and monthly transfer needs. Business plans provide significantly more disk space, as well as the option for additional databases and unlimited FTP accounts. SSL certificates, private domain registrations, and dedicated IP addresses are also available for an additional fee.
They also offer a starter package for personal hosting, which includes a limited number of email accounts, much less disk space, and fewer features. Unless you are planning to build a very simple website with their free site builder, this probably won’t be a great option for most customers.
F5/MVH also offers a variety of dedicated hosting options. All plans include the latest generation Intel CPU, up to 5 IP addresses, and APC with remote reboot switch. Packages vary based on CPU type and cores, RAM, storage space, bandwidth, and connection speed. Most plans include 100Mbps/1Gbps ports; however, 10Gbps ports are also available. Additional services, such as dedicated load balancing, firewall, NAN, SAN, and dedicated block storage are also available upon request.
F5/MVH also offers site design services, including initial design, redesign, photo editing, custom graphics, META tag and keyword creation, interactive forms, and more.
Uptime Guarantee
F5/MVH Hosting offers a 99.99% uptime guarantee.
Billing and Payment Policies
F5/MVH accepts MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and PayPal. They offer monthly, semi-annual, and annual payment plans, which are all automatically renewed.
Conclusion
F5/MVH offers a wide range of services at prices comparable to the rest of the industry. If you are looking for additional services beyond simple hosting, such as site design, they also have you covered. Because they combine three companies, each with a unique area of expertise, you can be assured of getting knowledgeable service regardless of the type of plan you purchase.
On the other hand, signing up for hosting can be a little confusing. Rather than uniting the three companies into a single, cohesive website, they route traffic between four separate sites, depending on the service you are looking for (F5Hosting for business plans, My Virtual Hosting for dedicated servers, 1stcom for personal sites, and F5/MVH for client logins). Once you wind up on one site, it’s not always simple to return to the main site.
