Host Introduction |
Since 1996, Superb Internet Corporation has been helping customers build their presence on the World Wide Web. Today, with customers all over the world, Superb Internet is one of the industry’s leaders in hosting services and more. So if you’re in the market for a provider, Superb Internet could make for an easy choice.
With nearly 20 years of experience to their name, it’s not hard to believe that Superb Internet is one of the largest web hosts in the entire world. Back in 2008, Netcraft documented that they hosted close to 350,000 unique sites.
The company was launched by its current CEO, Harald Jass, and it remains privately held. Its headquarters are in Honolulu with datacenters in Seattle Washington, McLean & Springfield Virginia and Manhattan New York.
Superb Internet can also lay claim to a number of firsts in the industry. They were the first to provide customers with named-based virtual hosting back in the 90s. They were also the first in the 90s to offer the market unlimited site, third-level domain wildcard hosting. In the early 2000s, Superb Internet became the first provider to put forward commercial VPS options. The company was also the first provider that could guarantee 100% network uptime.
Over the years, Superb Internet has won a number of impressive awards. They’ve been recognized by Find My Host via their Editors’ Choice Award for the past seven years. Interestingly, it has also been selected several times by different gaming publications for its part in supporting that industry through its hosting services. |

What we like: |
You’ll have no problem ordering services from Superb Internet. Their homepage features a layout of all their products and how to quickly and effectively place your order. Of course, they have plenty of options for learning more about each option before purchasing too.
Alternatively, sales is available via live chat, email and toll free phone (1-888-354-6128) to discuss any needs you have. Live Chat generated the fastest response in our testing, but phone and email were also great methods of communication.
Sales is available from 7am - 11pm EST and you will not have a problem on payment options. Just about every option is available (all major credit cards, PayPal, Money Order, Wire Transfers, Bank Draft, Western Union, JCB & UnionPay).
Superb Internet guarantees all their products and services too, so you can be confident in making your purchase. This includes a price match guarantee that says they’ll lower their prices to meet any out there.
Legal residents of the U.S. and Canada can also count on lower costs if they take contract billing on a monthly, three month or six month billing cycle. One year contracts provide further savings. |

Support Review |
Grade:

|
What we like: |
All the same modes of communication you can rely on for sales are also present for support. Available 24/7, all technicians are highly skilled and trained to assist customers in their need for hosting help.
Like other high end options out there, Superb Internet offers their customers an extensive library of information about dedicated servers and web hosting through their knowledge base. It’s a great resource for troubleshooting or simply learning the ropes if you’re a beginner.
There are three different support lines: one for customers in the US and Canada, and two for those elsewhere around the world. Customers using dedicated servers have their own support lines for problems specific to those services.
Be advised that if you plan on calling the company for help, they still recommend you open a support ticket first so their staff has a reference. |

There’s a lot to be excited about when considering Superb Internet for your hosting needs. You can’t beat their prices, literally, as they’ll match anything out there and their other guarantees are great for peace of mind too.

That’s almost unrivaled experience and speaks to a company that knows how to read upcoming trends and adapt to them. |
