RapidSite Reviews

RapidSite appears to be a web hosting brand primarily operating in Japan, established under GMO Hosting & Security (now GMO GlobalSign Holdings K.K. or similar entity within the GMO Internet Group) around 1997. Alongside its sister brand iSLE, RapidSite offered a range of hosting solutions catering to different needs, from individual users and small businesses needing basic HTML sites (Personal Plan) to high-traffic corporate and e-commerce sites requiring robust infrastructure (Commercial and Enterprise Plans). Early offerings emphasized a strong network infrastructure, support for technologies like TrueSpeech, RealAudio/Video, SSL, e-commerce carts (Mercantec Softcart), databases, and Microsoft FrontPage extensions, depending on the plan tier. The brand focuses on providing reliable hosting services, including VPS products, with a strong emphasis on the Japanese market, as evidenced by its Japanese-language website and historical association with GMO's Japan-centric operations. While originally founded possibly in the US, its significant operational history and current focus seem tied to GMO Internet Group in Japan. It targets users ranging from entry-level to those needing high-end environments.
