Sedna Hosting Review

Sedna Web Hosting

Sedna is a great company fro the small business and personal site, but large business can find what they need elsewhere a lot cheaper. If a customer needed a host for their personal site Sedna would be a great place to stop; however if in search of servers, or ecommerce it would be a smart move to keep looking.

Products

Sedna offers shared web hosting, ecommerce, dedicated hosting, email hosting, domain names, online marketing, and web site design and development.

Shared Web Hosting

Sedna offers five plans of shared web hosting ranging from the Value Package at $6.96 a month to the Enterprise Package at $34.96 a month. The Value Package comes with 100 megabytes of disk storage space, 2000 megabytes of monthly data transfer, and 250 emails. The plan also includes many features such as a free domain name, ecommerce ready web hosting, and a dedicated IP address, and these are just a few. For $6.96 a month a webmaster looking for a host for their personal site or a small business looking to make its start on the web couldn’t make a better choice. The Enterprise package at $34.96 a month includes 800 megabytes of space, 10000 megabytes of monthly data transfer, and unlimited email accounts. This plan also comes with a handsome load of features a few of which include free domain name, the ability to host up to five domain names with one account, and eCommerce ready web hosting. While some other web hosts have a better plan for larger business, if price is a factor, then Sedna’s Enterprise Package may be the reasonable answer.

Ecommerce

Sedna has come to the rescue of those who need a simple online store by providing a five step guide to ecommerce success, osCommerce, merchant accounts, and Geo Trust SSL secure certificates. There are three types of merchant account available including Pay Pal. The accounts vary in price. For example one has a monthly processing fee, another an annual fee, and Pay Pal takes a percentage of each sell. In this way the customer can choose which service is right for their business.

Dedicated Hosting

Sedna has not forgotten the large business. They offer four dedicated servers ranging from the Bronze Server at $149.95 a month to the Platinum Server at $899.95. The bronze server has an Intel Celeron 2.0 gigahertz processor, (1) 20 gigabyte IDE hard drive, 256 megabytes of RAM memory, 200 gigabytes of monthly data transfer, and many other features including 10 dedicated IP addresses, 10 control panels, and Linux Red Hat 7.3. Honestly there are cheaper servers available with the same features. From here the prices only go up until they reach the platinum Server at a whopping $899.95 a month which comes with dual Intel Xeon 2.4 gigahertz processors, 36 gigabytes of SCSI drive space, 2 gigabytes of Ram memory, 300 gigabytes of monthly data transfer, and an array of features including 10 IP addresses, 10control panels, and Linux Red Hat 7.3. While this is a powerful server the fact remains that it can be found elsewhere for a lot less

Support

Sedna offers free 24 hour support, an online knowledge base, allows online trouble tickets, offers an online troubleshooter, and downloads. They also have a 99.9% uptime guarantee, a30 day money back guarantee. The support is fair though not great and I would expect a little more from accompany with these types of prices.

Services

While Sedna doesn’t offer many extra services the ones they do offer are good. They offer website design and development, online marketing, and domain names.

Overall Sedna isn’t a bad company, especially if you need good quality shared web hosting; however, I’d look somewhere else for dedicated servers. www.valueweb.com would be a good choice.
