ICDSoft : ICDSoft Reviews : Awesome, but...

I love ICDSoft and I would recommend people switching to it just for two reasons - uptime and support. Till today I have never seen my site go down and it always is incredibly responsive. But what really rocks is the support. Their web-based support system is superlative. I have had to contact them on 3 occasions and each time the response came within 30 minutes. When I switched from ICDSoft to Dreamhost for one of my sites, the process was completely painless. A month later ICDSoft sent me an email confirming that they were going to delete the stuff that I formerly had on their domain.

Price-wise they are good, but the main shortcomings that they have are in terms of the space that they offer. 1GB on the $6/month plan and 10GB on the $10/month plan is quite less when compared to the generous sites like Bluehost or HostGator, but suffices for people not into extensive content management. That brings me to my next niggle - Just recently they added support for Gallery, but you cannot add your blog or other CMS tools like Joomla to your host. On the upside, though, they add software only when it has been extensively tested. Lastly, their plans are for single domains only (multiple subdomains, but single domains). I had two domains there at one time and still have one. However I intend to switch the domain over to another provider because of the simple fact that I own 5 domains and the cost of buying space for each of the on ICDSoft turns out to be high.

So if your space requirements are not monstrous, if you are not into things like content management or blog publishing and if you are going to manage one domain (or even 2 domains), go for ICDSoft. By all means. It is the best hosting provider for single domains.
