FC2 Reviews

FC2, Inc. was founded in July 1999 and is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. While operating as a US corporation, it gained significant popularity in Japan, becoming a major provider of various web services. Initially known for its blogging platform, FC2 expanded its offerings over the years. Its services include blogging, video hosting (becoming the third most popular in Japan after YouTube and Niconico), web hosting, domain registration, live streaming, social networking services (SNS), chat, access analysis tools, and more. FC2 aims to provide a comprehensive suite of online tools accessible through a single FC2ID, available in multiple languages including Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and others, catering to a global user base. Although specific details about their VPS infrastructure (like virtualization technology or specific hardware) are less publicly detailed compared to dedicated hosting providers, FC2 did offer Linux VPS (based on Virtuozzo/OpenVZ) and later introduced Windows VPS options, collaborating with companies like HOSTING & SECURITY, INC. for service expansion. Their target audience is broad, ranging from individual bloggers and content creators to users needing basic web hosting or domain services. Their unique selling point lies in offering a wide array of interconnected web services under one umbrella account, with a strong presence in the Japanese market despite being a US company.
