Xserver Reviews

Xserver Inc. is a prominent Japanese web hosting company established in 2003, primarily serving the Japanese market. As of late 2024, it hosts over 1.5 million active websites, positioning itself as a leading provider in Japan. The company focuses on delivering high-quality technology for both individuals and businesses. Their core services include shared hosting, domain registration, and SSL certificates. Xserver emphasizes performance, utilizing high-spec server environments with modern multi-core CPUs (e.g., 24-core) and fast SSD storage configured in RAID 10, offering significantly improved read speeds compared to traditional HDDs. Their infrastructure relies on NGINX web servers for optimized performance. All plans feature a 99.99% uptime guarantee, automatic daily backups (retained for 7 days, 14 for databases), unlimited email accounts, and free SSL certificates. They also offer a one-click installer for popular applications like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, making it user-friendly, especially for beginners. While known for reliable and high-capacity shared hosting, their service range appears limited, lacking readily available VPS or dedicated server options mentioned in some reviews, and primarily focuses on the Japanese audience with data centers located only in Japan and website/support available solely in Japanese. They offer a 10-day free trial for their services.
