Hosting plans

NLS offers shared, VPS, dedicated and managed and unmanaged WordPress hosting. The company also differentiates between hosting plans meant for smaller and larger organizations to help customers better understand what plan is best for them.

Security features

NLS offers security features that go beyond what other web hosting services offer. All plans include SSL certificates, malware scans and DDoS protections. Some plans also help repair damage malware might cause on your website. Backups at least once every 24 hours are also standard with each plan, and each backup is held for 20 days. A full set of a customer’s data is also stored in two separate data centers as a security measure. That way customers always have access to their data, even if one data center is brought down by a cyberattack.

Uptime

NLS has a 99.99% uptime guarantee, which is a higher guarantee than most other web hosting services. Battery-operated power supplies and backup generators help maintain power to NLS data centers so your site and services stay online even if its data center loses power.

Customer support

Support is available any time, either by phone or chat. A directory also provides customer support numbers for customers in 14 different countries. NLS also offers a personal consultant who will be your main point of contact if you need help with your site. A personal consultant and phone numbers for different support centers around the world give NLS customers more ways to get help compared to some other hosting providers.

Other features

NLS offers a status page to alert customers when services go down or are being repaired. The page also logs the times when services go down and are brought back up, and it lets customers know of any scheduled maintenance.

Pricing

NLS’ prices start lower than most other web hosting services for similar services. Prices rise — shared and WordPress hosting rise by over 1,000% — after a certain amount of time. That means NLS is a good entry point for web hosting, but it may not be the best long-term home for your website if cost is your primary concern.
