DuVash Top 10's

Founded in California in 1997 StartLogic slowly grew, and today they are hosting over 100,000
domains, offering more diversity in their plans than most hosting providers (All but DreamHost and
GoDaddy actually) you’ll find.

StartLogic plans are targeted at the common beginner as well as the advanced developer.
In addition to the conventional means of customer support, StartLogic also offers a number of
other useful tools to help you overcome any problems you are experiencing.

Plans And Pricing:
StartLogic most popular plan is the  “ProLogic” plan which is very cost effective.
For $4.95 a month, this plan comes with unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited e-mail
accounts, CGI, PHP, MySQL, and more. This plan also comes with a free domain name.
For the amount of features that you get, including software support, multimedia, host manager,
web builder, pre-configured scripts, e-commerce and promotions, this plan is actually quite a steal.

Another unique plan at StartLogic is “WindowsLogic”.
It comes with 2GB of disk space and 60 GB of bandwidth for $9.95 a month, in addition
to the features mentioned in the ProLogic plan.
This plan is slightly more expensive than the ProLogic plan because it is for ASP.NET developers,
offering .NET support.

Data Center:
StartLogic’s data center is located in Phoenix, Arizona, and provides redundant optical fiber
connections through such companies as Cox, Qwest, and ELI, in addition to multiple Internet
backbone providers, including UUNET, Broadwing, and Global Crossing.
Like most data centers, the facility is equipped with raised floors, temperature control systems,
redundant power, physical security, and surveillance systems. Servers up-time with this company
has also been excellent, and StartLogic was praised a-lot for it.
StartLogic has strategically located their data center in Phoenix, Arizona, due mainly to the city’s
protection from extreme climates and being home of the world’s largest power plant.

Customer Service:
StartLogic’s customer service team is actually almost identical to that of LunarPages.
The thing that stands out about StartLogic is the amount of self-help resources they have
on their web site. Customers can use a troubleshooter in which a step-by-step approach
is taken until the problem is resolved, in case something went wrong using the Getting-Started-Guide.
The site also features FAQ sheets and a Knowledge-Base,  categorized for easy searching.
Of course, if you cannot find your answer in their self-help, or simply choose not to use it,
you can rest assured that you will receive quality responses in a timely manner.
You may also use StartLogic’s Toll-Free no., or the live chat right on their web site.

Control Panel:
StartLogic uses the vDeck control panel, which is one of the most functional and versatile
web site managers on the Internet today. The vDeck is of course slightly different than cPanel,
but still (and maybe even more) very easy to use for almost any user.
The panel allows you to manage every aspect of your web site and it is complete with tutorials,
walk-thrus, and a help center. The vDecks best feature is that it makes complex procedures
such as building a web site or installing comprehensive CGI, PHP, or Java scripts simple.

Conclusion:
StartLogic has proven they are capable of serving web sites with maximum server uptime and
efficient customer service. Although StartLogic itself is a fairly new web host, the people behind
StartLogic have actually been in the hosting industry for many years, and will be an excellent choice
in quality web hosting.
