Review summary |  |

Aplus.Net's Solo XR hosting is inexpensive, reliable, and packed with handy features. It's an excellent choice for individuals or small businesses.
By Matt Lake, April 14, 2003
From the outset, Aplus.Net's Solo XR hosting plan has been a reasonably priced hosting service for small business types. It offers shared hosting on reliable servers and a strong focus on customer service, with round-the-clock toll-free technical support. A year after we first reviewed it, the service is still all that. Only $9.95 a month buys you 200MB of Web server space, with no site traffic limits, 10 e-mail addresses, and a year's free domain registration. Plus, in recent months, Aplus.Net has revamped its look and packed on a considerable number of features, such as graphical site-building tools and wizards, support for FrontPage extensions, and high-end utilities such as cross-platform HTML-validation and code-optimization tools. All that for less than 10 bucks a month? Aplus.Net gets our nod.
