Overview
InterServer is an independently owned and operated hosting company founded in 1999 by Michael Lavrik and John Quaglieri. The company stands out in the hosting industry for its commitment to price stability and transparency, offering a price-lock guarantee that ensures customers never face surprise renewal price increases.
InterServer owns and operates its data center facilities in Secaucus, New Jersey, giving them complete control over their infrastructure. This vertical integration allows them to maintain high standards of hardware quality and network performance while keeping costs predictable for customers.
Their VPS product uses a unique "slice" system where each slice represents a unit of resources. Customers can purchase as many slices as needed and combine them for their desired configuration. This modular approach provides flexibility that traditional fixed-plan structures do not offer.
