Evolution VIP is an Israeli based hosting company that hosts around 20,000 websites and provides support and services to Israel’s leading companies. They want to provide leading solutions in a simple and easy to operate manner, provide professional services, and retain quality employees in order to ensure a high level of customer service. Their servers are located in 3 different datacenters throughout Israel and claim to meet international standards and security levels. Their services included dedicated server hosting, virtual server hosting, shared, and reseller hosting that support Linux and Windows operating systems.
Uptime & Reliability
Virtually no information about uptime available
This company does not have any stated uptime on their page, and no information regarding their reliability was mentioned on their hosting plan pages. A quick web search also did not bring up any information regarding uptime, but no negative reviews have been found, so presumably their uptime is not a big concern.
Features
Customized plans with nice features
Shared hosting plans for either Linux or Windows start with 500MB of disk space, 20GB of monthly traffic, 1 domain, and 10 email boxes. Servers are secure and have collaborative firewall protection and anti-virus software, and have multiple databases with remote connectivity available as well. Reseller hosting plans start at 20GB of bandwidth, 1GB of disk space, and unlimited addresses, domains, and mailboxes. Their reseller plans are highly customizable and you can control all of your accounts. Virtual private servers can be ready in as little as a few minutes, and is able to support Windows and Linux operating systems. VPS plans include 30GB of disk space, 1GB of ram, and 1 IP address.
Plans are customizable from there, and they also offer personal VPS, developer VPS, and VPS reseller options. Dedicated server options seem to be available, however, when translating the site, it was hard to discern what plans were available and what they specifically offered. This company would be better for people located in Israel or maybe people that are targeting an Israeli market.
Support
Fast response times from support teams
On their home page, they say they have 24/7 support, though it would probably be best for customers located in Israel or other countries that speak the same language as it is unclear if their support services are available in other languages. They do also claim to have a 10 minute response time. They also have a little chat window hovering on the site, which is nice, but only if they speak the languages their customers are speaking.
Pricing
Slightly more expensive than other options
Shared hosting options are start around $6 a month for Linux hosting servers and go up to about $9 a month for Windows hosting. Plans increase in price from there depending on your hosting requirements. VPS servers run about $62US for personal options when converted from Israeli currency. Dedicated servers do not have any clear prices listed when the page is translated, so it is unclear what dedicated server pricing is like. Their dedicated server pages seem to be more information about what dedicated hosting is rather than what plans and services are that they offer. This site is a tad difficult to comprehend when translated into English.
Summary
Nice choice for Israeli webmasters
Israeli based Evolution VIP seems to be a better choice for clients living in Israel or surrounding countries, or those that are looking to cater to an Israeli based market. Their datacenters are located on in Israel, so this company does not seem to have much of a global base or market they are trying to cater to. Their website is poorly designed and it is difficult to get information about their services and products. Pricing is a little on the expensive side for what you get, and it is unclear if they offer services in English or other languages.
Pros:
- Fast response from support
- Linux and Windows options for shared hosting
Cons:
- Website is difficult to navigate
- Targeting only Israeli audience
