What’s Great About Revive Hosting?
- Assistance in brand management
Since Revive Hosting is a part of Revive Interactive, you have access to a lot of brand management tools that can serve as your reference when you build your own website. For those who do not have formal training in brand management, this is a very good tool to have at your disposal. As they say, your web site is like a store front that must attract the right type of customers.
- Assistance in web development
Along with some assistance in brand management is some assistance in web development. Web design principles and some templates are available for all of Revive Hosting’s customers. This is a huge plus especially if you want to focus on the performance and functionality of your site. You can leave the design aspect to their recommendations, instead.
- Option to house CMS with them
They also have CMS options that can be very useful especially if you want to do some large scale e-commerce. Shopping cart management and inventory taking is a lot easier with a CMS mechanism in place.
- Affordable packages
Revive Hosting’s packages are quite affordable, considering the totality of what they are offering you. But even without the help on brand management, CMS and web development, their prices are still on the lower end of the spectrum compared to others.
What’s Disappointing About Revive Hosting?
✖ Not much user reviews
There is not much user reviews regarding Revive’s hosting performance, which makes you think if anyone has dared to try out their services.
✖ No VPS services or dedicated server hosting
If you want to do some VPS hosting apart from the typical shared hosting, you need to look for another provider since this is not available for users of Revive’s hosting packages.
The Bottom line
Revive’s services are great for those who want to get their web sites above the ground. With their tools and advise, you should be able to build your own website then eventually move to a more robust and powerful hosting solution, should your website grow rapidly.

I’ve been having a hard…
I’ve been having a hard time looking for reviews about Revive Hosting. Well, everything seems promising but I just couldn’t risk my money on it. I really have to make sure if it’s a good one. I’m totally having a hard time with my web host provider right now and everything is already affected. I guess I just really have to wait for the reviews of revive hosting users before I come up with a decision or maybe, I should find another one.
