TierHost Professional Web Solutions Provider Review
Ranked #37,441 in Business & Work, #484,581 overall
TierHost Professional Web Solutions Provider Overview
TierHost Professional Web Solutions Provider is a different kind of Shared Web Site Hosting company. In addition to offering web site hosting services with abundant resources for individuals, they offer web development services to professionals looking for a complete, affordable web site solution.
TierHost started life in 1999 as a consulting firm specializing in the design and development of web sites, databases, and enterprise web applications. They began offering web site and domain name hosting to provide a more complete, efficient web hosting solution.
TierHost offers 4 web hosting packages:
A Professional Edition, and a Standard Edition; each with two levels of service.
They also offer domain name registration, but they are expensive at $9.95 per domain, and one is limited to only 5 Top Level Domains (dot-com, net, org, biz & info), so I would suggest using Viking Communication Technologies as your domain registrar.
TierHost's connectivity is excellent, utilizing 13 Tier-1 U.S. providers and 5 Tier-1 European providers. They are part of the SAVVIS Global IP Network, a Tier-1 IP connectivity provider. The benefits of being part of this network is faster access, minimum AS hops, lowest possible packet loss and maximum reliability to customers in the U.S. and in Europe.
TierHost's Web Site Development services and Web Application Development services include free consultation, 3rd party software installations, professional web site design, and Small-to-Enterprise web application and database development.
The Web Site Development and Web Application Development processes are not convoluted, it is customer-centric and straight-forward. You are made an active part of testing and reviewing your application and/or web site, and your project is not considered complete and ready for production until you sign-off on final approval; extended support is, of course, provided if hidden bugs are found after the fact.
TierHost's Technical Support is top quality and fast, focusing on immediate resolution of your issue(s), and is available 24/7 via e-Mail or through your cPanel-powered TierHost control panel.
TierHost's software tools and applications that come standard with their hosting packages are extensive.
TierHost wishes thier customers to be well-informed. They offer regularly updated and informative Articles, News and Tips ranging from 'How to Move to Another Web Hosting Provider Without Any Downtime', to 'What to do After Creating Your Website', to 'How to Use RSS to Market Your Website', as well as a comprehensive Glossary of Terms with which to educate yourself.
As well, TierHost offers a generous 30-day Money-Back Guarantee.

Professional Edition Shared Web Site Hosting Packages Thoughts
I would consider the Professional Edition Shared Web Site Hosting packages perfect for the professional who wishes to keep his or her hands free of the daily nuts-and-bolts operation of a web site, allowing one to concentrate on the 'business end' of one's ventures.
By virtue of the simple, thoughtful inclusion of invaluable services such as Web Site Monitoring, Web Page Design & Support, e-Commerce Design & Support, Monthly Search Engine Submissions and the Website Move Service, it is clear that one gets the biggest bang for the buck with either flavor of TierHost's Professional Edition Hosting packages.
My experience with this company has shown me that they are truly interested in your success. If you succeed, they succeed.
Again, either flavor of this package, coupled with TierHost's in-house professional web development services, is a winning combination. One cannot go wrong with the very low cost of TierHost's level of service.

TierHost Professional Web Services Thoughts
Personally, I do not use provided services such as these. I am a very intense, hands-on kind of person, and perform all my own development. When in question, I refer to my peers in various development communities.
But for many, however, such as those that do not possess these skills, or lack the time to implement them, this may be just the ticket for you.
As web development services go, this is one of the lowest cost, widest ranging I've encountered. Because of this, I was compelled to include TierHost in my reviews.
Since I cannot in good conscience say that I've personally used TierHost's Professional Web Services, I've included a short compilation of examples of other small businesses and individuals that have used TierHost's Web Services:

Stacy - www.misanthropia.org
"After doing some comparison shopping, I decided to change hosting companies and go with TierHost because they not only provided a wide array of "extra" features like the latest blogging and photo gallery software, but also for their super competitive pricing. I've already recommended convinced two other friends to make the switch to Tierhost who are also quite happy about their decision. The customer service is top notch. Never before had I had such pleasurable experiences in dealing with a company. I never feel like I'm causing an inconvenience when asking for help and who else can you find to install all of the latest software and configure it for free?!? All of my requests for technical assistance were answered within hours in a professional, knowledgeable and friendly manner."
Arthur - www.talkradioreview.com
"I opened a new account to produce a BLOG several weeks ago. On two occasions I submitted a help ticket to your support team. I was amazed at how fast I got responses. All of my problems were quickly solved and all my questions on how to do things using my new account were fully answered. I especially appreciated that support installed templates for me. This saved me so much time."
