InterServer — status

InterServer is a web hosting and data center company that provides a wide range of services, including shared hosting, virtual private servers (VPS), dedicated servers, and colocation. Founded in 1999 by two high school students, Mike Lavrik and John Quaglieri, the company has grown from a small hosting provider to an established player in the industry, known for its hands-on approach and commitment to customer service. A key part of its business model is its focus on affordable, no-frills pricing with a unique promise: the price you sign up for is the price you pay for life, with no renewal price hikes. This stands in stark contrast to many competitors who use low introductory rates to attract customers before raising prices significantly upon renewal. InterServer owns and operates its own data centers located in New Jersey, giving it complete control over its infrastructure and network. This vertical integration allows the company to provide a high level of performance and security and to offer very competitive pricing. Its core services are designed to cater to a diverse clientele, from small businesses and bloggers looking for shared hosting to enterprises that require dedicated servers or colocation services. InterServer's managed services are a major selling point, as its technicians handle server setup, maintenance, and security, providing a more hands-on approach than many large hosting providers. The company also offers a "Price Lock Guarantee" on its shared hosting plans and a commitment to 24/7 in-house support. This emphasis on simplicity, transparency, and reliable support has helped InterServer build a loyal customer base and carve out a niche in a highly competitive market. Its history and operational philosophy are rooted in the belief that providing a stable, affordable service with excellent customer support is the key to long-term success.
