British host INIZ was established in 2012 but was acquired by SYN Ltd. in 2014. Although it had strived initially to offer quality hosting services, it made several improvements to hardware and DDoS protection after the acquisition.
Today, INIZ’s services include web hosting solutions, virtual and dedicated server solutions, and domain registration services. Its website is in English.
Features and Ease of Use
INIZ claims that (unlike many other vendors in the market), it doesn’t charge extra for SSL certificates and other features. The hosting features include:
- Unlimited email accounts
- MySQL databases with phpMyAdmin
- Free daily backups
- Free DDoS protection
- Free website builder
- One-click installer
- cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin control panels
INIZ offers Linux shared hosting plans that are administered via the cPanel control panel. Additionally, we provide Plesk and DirectAdmin control panel licenses for virtual or dedicated servers. Your data is protected with daily backups to ensure its safety, and you have the convenience of restoring it directly from the control panel.
Hosted websites are stored on super-fast and reliable SSD storage in redundant disk arrays (RAID) for protection against disk data disasters. Servers sit in state-of-the-art data centers in several global locations: Europe (the U.K. and the Netherlands), Asia (Singapore), and the U.S.A. You might choose the data center closest to your primary audience.
Pricing and Support
INIZ’s hosting prices are some of the cheapest you will find. You can pay in British pounds on monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, or biennial billing cycles, with discounts of up to 11% for biennial billing. The 30-day money-back guarantee on shared hosting might make you feel better about making a major commitment, and the KVM VPS solutions allow you seven days to change your mind.
With a few exceptions, this host offers a 99.99% uptime guarantee on nearly all its hosting services.
INIZ provides an acceptable knowledge base for self-support, but for more answers, you’ll need to contact the support team by submitting a ticket or starting a live chat. There are no publicly available email addresses or telephone numbers as far as I know, but I was pleased that my test ticket submission was answered within two hours:
