Features

Convenience That Doesn’t Sacrifice Functionality
Interserver provides a handy set of add-on features that will help you run an optimized and secured website no matter your skill level.
On the whole, Interserver offers an excellent feature set. All the essentials are there, such as SSL certificates, domain registration, and WHOIS privacy as well as performance-enhancing CDNs and security tools.
The only catch is that many of these are reserved for the more expensive plans or have to be purchased separately. Interserver also offers its own website builder with its hosting plans, though once again, this is a paid subscription.
Business Hosting
Interserver’s Business Hosting plans combine the performance and secure infrastructure of a VPS with an intuitive and beginner-friendly dashboard, resulting in something similar to a managed hosting experience.
This is a super option if you have a growing online business but don’t necessarily have the time or money to invest in a dedicated IT team. You’ll have full control over your website and CMS without the technical headaches of administrating your server.
Thousands of WordPress Themes and Plugins
When you’re creating your WordPress website, Interserver will provide you with over a thousand free templates and plugins. Although these aren’t on the same level as the very best premium templates out there in terms of aesthetics and functionality, they’re better than most free WordPress templates.
You’ll also have a few handy pre-installed plugins to get you started, such as WP101 Video Tutorials, Ninja Forms, Contact Widgets, the drag-and-drop Beaver Builder, and Email Marketing.
One-Click Website Staging
If you’ve got at least the Deluxe WordPress hosting plan, then you’ll have access to this feature. It’s great for minimizing downtime while revamping your designs or implementing a new feature on your website. Your website will continue to be live while you work on a copy. Once you’re done, you can instantly replace the live website with the updated version.
Daily Backups with One-Click Restores
Interserver automatically backs up all websites daily and retains these copies for 30 days. When restoring backups, you’ll have a choice between restoring the files and your databases or just one of them at a time. The backup and restore tool is displayed front and center on your website management dashboard and is very simple to use.
Website Security
Interserver offers its own suite of website security and performance tools, which makes use of technologies such as Norton, Sucuri, and Spamhaus. You can add the security packages separately upon checkout.

Reliability & Support
As is the industry standard, Interserver boasts of 24/7 customer support with phone, live chat, and ticketing channels. Generally speaking, because of our experience with other Web-hosts, we tend to take anything that has “24/7” at the beginning with a pinch of salt. Interserver provides all of their plans with the full support infrastructure. Some Web-hosts, like WpEngine, don’t offer phone support on their lowest plans.
Conclusion of Interserver Review
While GoDaddy managed to drag its weight on many different aspects, we were sorely let down in some others. Basically, Interserver, like most things in life, has good and bad aspects. Whether or not you’d enjoy or be satisfied with their services depends a lot on what your needs are and what your budget looks like.
Regardless, we must come to an objective conclusion. Is there an area that Interserver stands out in for us? Except for ease of use (which is arguable, to an extent), there is nothing that GoDaddy stands out in. Initial prices might be a dream, but when we take renewal costs into consideration, Interserver isn’t even the cheapest Web-host on the market. Other Web-hosts like Bluehost have more competitive prices.
