Top Rated Netfirms Alternatives
Have cheap deals for the first year of domain registration. Provide the basics for managing a domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Prices keep creeping up. If you want to do anything beyond the basics with your domain you're out of luck. Don't bother with their hosting or any other packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer Support is active. But when you have issues they will also tell you, your site is good when you literally witness the issue on your computer screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When netfirms first launched it was a decent server. Now it has become one of the slowest with many server issues. Once you set up the server you will witness poor server connectivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing that we can think of, sorry. Please improve your server health. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unable to develop using CMS tools because of lag. Very slow page loads. Sometimes 10-20 seconds. Server setup confusing to assess issues. We moved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't much to like other than super cheap hosting and domains Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Terrible support, incredibly low quality wordpress hosting, unreliable email hosting, unreliable DNS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the flexibility offered in the different hosting plans. I usually have only one or two active sites, but register many domains for future plans. I've been with Netfirms for nearly 10 years and have had very few problems, and have in fact recommended it to several clients over the years.
There are many options for add-ons, as well as different software packages and applications that can be integrated with sites residing with Netfirms, most at no additional cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes there are glitches with domain registrations, but nothing that couldn't be resolved with a support person on the phone, or with their live chat. I've been pretty satisfied overall. There is usually ample notification of any outages or service interruptions.
They are partnered with some WYSIWYG web design platforms, but the cost is usually about the same for no real advantage of purchasing the add-on through Netfirms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When I signed up for netfirms it was simply to register a .ca domain when it had to be done like that. That was some time ago and since then netfirms has kept up with comparable plans and services to the services that I was using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't really a much to dislike about netfirms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that I receive notifications of a full mailbox. It is helpful to know when I'm running out of space and need to delete older/irrelevant emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The system is clunky overall and I do not find it to be user friendly. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to access the spam folder. Netfirms is not set up intuitively, it is my least favorite email system that I have used to date. If it were up to me, we would switch to something else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Have cheap signup promotions for registraring a domain for the first time. Decent control over your domain from their control panel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
After the first year, renewal costs start to creep up. Gui look terrible like it was designed in the 90's. Site is pretty slow. Would not use them for hosting or any other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
