Below is our review for USA Domains, Inc.. It is
based on our ten plus years of experience reviewing Web Hosts and Host
Finders. It is based on our
proven test procedures,
and on our
reader's reviews. This review is also based on the feedback we get
from our reader's comments, and emails as well as from the our
interaction with the business and Web developer/design communities in
the numerous online forums. Much of this review was conducted by a
non-paid independent panel of experienced Web developers that are very
good at what they do. We know that all of that combined makes our review
process different from anyone else's in this industry, but to top it off
it is important for you to know that unlike other review sites, we
Purchase the Web Hosting services we review. That's right. The
absolute BEST way to review Web Host services is by actually using those
services and comparing them to other Web Host services that have been
similarly tested with the same testing criteria. We do these tests
using an anonymous account so the Web Hosts will not treat us any
differently than any other customer. Our process is expensive, but it is
what we do because we want to be the best, and we want you to have the
best information possible.

Here's a Tip for you: We have never accepted money to give a
company a better rating. Our reputation is more important than that.
However, even though the vast majority of the "top
10" review type sites you see in the search engines appear to be genuine, they
actually base their lists of "Top Hosting Companies" on the affiliate
rates (or other advertising revenue) they
receive from the companies they list. The Web Hosts they list may be
good but the rating method used is faulty.
In our opinion, you should NEVER trust those types of review and rating
sites.

Overview:
USA Domains is built off of a strong network with excellent connectivity. USA Domains not only provides Enterprise Hosting, but also providing domain name registration, Web Consulting, and Web development.
When last we reviewed USA Domains (August of 2005) our Independent Review Panel was liked their 24/7 Toll Free Phone and email support and the bandwidth provided, wasn't thrilled by the price tag. They haven't changed anything notable and their plans cost is still pricey.
Plans provide a wide range of features. Features that are found standard with all USA Domains' plans include Perl, C, SSI, Java, Javascript, MySQL, PHP4, Python, MS FrontPage, Chili!Soft ASP, email autoresponders, and optional Real Media support. Each plan comes with loads of bandwidth and average Web space for the price. Speaking of price, our Independent Review Panel thought the price was expensive for what you get for today's market.
Support at USA Domains is covered by 24/7 toll-free phone support as well as 24/7 email support. Support was quick and provided accurate answers to our questions.
Verdict:
USA Domains is good Web Host that has received good marks in all categories. They provide top notch support, including 24/7 Toll Free phone and email support, with fast response times. If you are looking for quality Unix-based, Full Service hosting look up USA Domains.
Pros:
24/7 Toll Free phone and email support • Lots of Bandwidth
Cons:

In Their Words:
On
Performance, Speed, & Reliability
"Unlike many hosting providers that use Intel-based PC's running various flavors of freeware Unix or other slackware to maintain their clients, USA domains is proud to offer Sun (dual processor) Servers, running the proven and reliable Sun Solaris Operating System.
Because USA domains is connected directly to eight of the largest backbone providers in the world, your virtual server will be hosted on one of the world's fastest networks available today. Connected via multiple redundant OC48 connections to the Internet backbone for uninterrupted service, we can ensure that your site will always be available online. We are powered by Sun Servers, CISCO routers and APC power equipment for speed and reliability."
On Personalized Support
"Our technical team is here to assist you with your support question or problem either by phone, or e-mail. Customers can generally receive and answer within one hour of making a support request. For those that need extended support, we provide Managed Services that are available beyond the standard technical support which every hosting account receives. Managed services include performing tasks such as CGI/Perl or 3rd party software installations, site management, and web site consulting services."
