Frequently asked questions
How much is Tier.Net hosting to start with?+
Web hosting starts at $3.49 on Tier.Net, below the median starting price of €13.15 across the brands tracked here. The same entry figure sits at 145 of 282 brands on intro price, so it is low without being unusual.
What is the money-back period on Tier.Net plans?+
Tier.Net's terms set a money-back window of 1 day to 30 days, a range rather than a single promise. Across the brands tracked here the median window is 30 days, so the upper end of Tier.Net's range is in line with the median.
How many websites can I host on a Tier.Net plan?+
Website counts differ by tier: the Starter plan covers a single domain, while Corporate and Enterprise accept unlimited add-on domains. Buyers running many client sites sit better with the reseller hosting and dedicated options in shared hosting, vps and dedicated servers.
What kinds of hosting does Tier.Net sell?+
The range in shared hosting, vps and dedicated servers runs from shared hosting through VPS and dedicated servers, plus colocation and reseller hosting. That spread lets a small site start on shared and move up without changing provider, which suits the small business and enterprise customers the company lists.
Where are Tier.Net servers and who runs the company?+
The data centres listed in Ashburn, VA, Bend, OR and Binghamton, NY are all in the United States, which suits a mainly US audience. The legal entity behind the brand is Tier.Net Technologies, LLC, a US company, and the operation dates back to 1,990 to 1,999.
How do I reach Tier.Net support?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone, covering email, live chat and phone. Email is the most widely offered channel on this site and phone is close behind, so buyers who need to speak to someone are well covered before renewal comes round.
What comes with Tier.Net's shared plans?+
Shared plans include backups, cdn and email, so backups, a CDN, business email and SSL are part of the package. On top of that sits a 99.99% uptime guarantee, which is the number to hold the provider to when traffic matters.
Who is Tier.Net built for?+
Tier.Net lists small business and enterprise as its audience, so pricing and the hosting range are aimed at organisations rather than hobbyists. Starter plans and the VPS, dedicated and colocation tiers in shared hosting, vps and dedicated servers cover the gap between a first site and an in-house fleet.
