Aplus.net Reviews

Founded in 1992 as Abacus America, Inc., Aplus.net began offering internet services in 1995 and hosting in 1998. Positioned as a one-stop online shop for small business entrepreneurs, Aplus.net aims to eliminate the complexity of dealing with multiple online vendors. They offer a range of services including domain name registration, shared cloud hosting, VPS hosting, email hosting, SSL certificates, website design tools (Website Creator), and marketing services. Their infrastructure includes data centers in Miami (USA), Toronto (Canada), and Dublin (Ireland), featuring robust systems to ensure high reliability and a claimed 99.99% uptime. Aplus.net targets small businesses looking to establish and grow their online presence, offering tools like their custom 'Portal' control panel for cloud hosting (though VPS uses cPanel) and a drag-and-drop website builder. Unique selling points include their long history in the industry, recognition through awards like the CNET Editors' Choice, status as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, and 24/7 support via phone, chat, and email. In 2009, the shared hosting assets of Aplus.net were acquired by Deluxe Corporation via its Hostopia unit, though the brand continues to operate.
