Codero - From the company

Codero provides dedicated and managed hosting services focusing on the real needs of today's small- and mid-sized businesses. Operating out of Overland Park, KS, the company offers a full line of high performance Windows® and Linux servers with service enhancements such as back-up services, security services, eCommerce hosting network services and server access tools. Live US-based support is offered 24/7/365 by knowledgeable solution engineers. Codero utilizes state-of-the-art servers from Intel and Dell to ensure reliable performance, while secure data centers protect customer’s personal and proprietary information.

Codero is a former division of Aplus.net. Codero became a separate entity focusing on dedicated and managed hosting solutions after the acquisition of Aplus.net's shared hosting, web design, and domain registration services by Hostopia, a division of Deluxe Corporation. For us, "Codero" stands for collaboration, engagement, focus, reliability and flexibility. It means a more secure computing experience for email, shopping or data transfer. Most importantly, we strive to focus on our customers' needs.

Review

Sales

Sales questions at Codero are taken by live chat, telephone and email. I first popped on live chat, where I was met by a Codero rep within a few seconds. The rep immediately asked for my email address and telephone number, in case we were disconnected, and when I stated that I preferred not to give it out, we were actually disconnected. Thinking this a fluke, I reconnected, only to have the same thing happen again after refusing to reveal my personal details. I had better luck by phone. The two phone sales team members I spoke with on the telephone were polite and knowledgeable about serving hosting, eagerly recommending server packages that would fit my needs. In short, it’s a mixed bag.

Setup

You can sign up for a new server from Codero’s website. The process is simple and easy to follow, even if you’re new to dedicated server hosting. I received an invoice by email immediately after paying, and my server was ready to use within one business day.

Billing

Codero takes all major credit cards and PayPal. I no trouble with the billing department during my stay, but the cancellation process was a bit tricky. Codero lets users cancel within seven days of their contract end, a nice touch considering most other companies require a full thirty day cancellation notice. Regardless of the improved policy, I found it impossible to cancel my services by phone or live chat. In both instances, I was told that I must cancel online through the Server Portal. Despite eventually cancelling successfully and getting confirmation of that, I was still billed for services one month after the fact. The billing department is only open during business hours Monday-Friday and they’re slow to respond to inquiries, so it took nearly six weeks and just as many phone calls for everything to get straightened out. Frustrating and could use major improvement!

Pricing

Codero has many server packages to choose from and all are highly customizable. Their cheapest server is a Pentium Dual Core 2.6 GHz machine with 2 gigabytes of memory and a 250 gigabyte hard drive, and it costs $70/month. Codero’s prices are reasonable and their offerings are exceptional.

Reliability

My Codero hosting server hardware was 100% reliable over a one year stay.

Support

Codero gives customers support by phone, ticket system and live chat. For basic questions, I found Codero to be exceptional and quick to respond. When my server went down due to an unexpected network issue, however, Codero was nowhere to be found. The phone went unanswered and nobody was available by ticket system until after the network came back up.

Uptime

My premium uptime monitor indicated that Codero maintained a 99.899% uptime rating over one year.

Review:

I subscribed in Codero dedicated server but it turned out I’m NOT ready for that. And the great thing is Codero customer support helped me and guided me to go back to the right track, they advised that Shared Hosting is more than enough for me at this stage (even though they could’ve made much more money with the dedicated server, but it seems they work for customer benefit as a priority) .

When my site grows and I need a dedicated server hosting I will for sure stick to Codero, they are just very helpful. I defiantly recommend them

We've been using Codero for quite a while now, since it used to be called Solo Hosting (back in a time). Since then Codero has grown tremendously and also helped us to grow as well by highlighting our hosting needs and provide us with best web hosting practices. So we grew together as partners.

We are so happy to work with Codero, it is been providing us woth near 100% uptime, amazing customer support.
Glad to recommend it to everyone.

Review:
I had a technical issue with Codero web host, tried to work it out with the first level support but that wasn’t so great. However, only after escalating to a manager a 180 degrees turnaround has been made, and a dedicated resources have been assigned to solve my problem. The problem was resolved very quickly, and the person has spent time with me reviewing the process to make sure this never happens again. I think my situation was kind of unique, once again, more than happy to recommend them.
