Superb Internet Launches New Shared Hosting Platform – GridIron!
Mar 24th
Superb Internet announced the launch of a new platform for their shared web hosting plans called GridIron Platform. The GridIron hosting plans are replacing Universal and Infinity shared hosting plans. Although the new web hosting platform is currently only available in Linux option, Superb Internet is currently working on releasing the Windows shared hosting version. For details, click here>
So what makes GridIron hosting different? To start, they upped their Service Level Agreement (SLA) from guaranteeing 99.9% to 99.99%. Apparently they built a redundant environment by clustering a bunch of servers so in the event one of the servers failed, there would be no issue with the websites on the server.
It looks like they released some much needed improvements. Superb Internet has introduced their “one-click apps” where we can quickly install and add popular applications to our shared hosting plans. This is very similar to Godaddy’s Hosting Connections. It’s a relief to hear that Superb is listening to us customers for more features.
Their cheapest hosting plan starts at $4.99 per month but that requires a 2 years commitment. As a perk, Superb Internet gives 2 years of free domain name registration if you sign up for a 2 year plan. You can go month-to-month but the price jumps to $8.99 per month. The price is still very good when you look at your other options.
If you’re on the fence, I think the best deal for us right now is to try out their GridLite hosting plan and use their promo 7395 to receive free setup and 2nd month free. They have a 30-day guarantee so that in the event we don’t like their service, they will give us a full refund. Not too shabby, if you ask me~

Dual Xeon 5160 3.0GHz with 16GB RAM just $199/m!!!
Jan 29th
Superb Internet just announced their best limited-time promotion. I’ve always been a dedicated server customer for my websites and this is the first time I’ve ever seen a deal so good on a server configuration. It’s a Dual Xeon 5160 (Dual-core) 3.0Ghz server with full 16GB of FB-DIMM RAM for just $199 per month. This deal is so amazing. The memory upgrade alone would cost over $150 per month. These servers are available until supply runs out. Apparently, they have 200 of them available. Learn more>
A promo code is not needed for this promotion; however, this dedicated server deal can not be combined with any other existing promotion. Even without using promos, this HP rackmount server is hands-down the best deal you can find any where right now.
To go into detail of the exact server configuration you can get:
- HP DL140 G3 Rackmount
- Dual Xeon 5160 3.0GHz processor
- 16GB FB-DIMM RAM
- 2x250GB SATA hard drive
- RAID-1 included
- 4000GB monthly traffic
- $89/setup; $199/month
The server uses Fully-Buffered DIMMs and 16GBs is the max. Since this server is a 1U rackmount server, it can only support a max of up to 2 hard drives. This server includes hardware RAID-1 which makes this deal even sweeter. You can replace the existing hard drives with larger capacity drives up to 2TB SATA drives if you wish.
I would recommend adding Lease-to-Own on this server so that after a year you will own it. A very sweet server to keep for a while.

Superb Hosting is offering one of the best specials for dedicated servers which is 20% off the monthly fee and free setup. There are not many hosting companies who offer this amazing deal. Learn more>
Promo code 7398 – 20% Off & Free Setup
The only condition is that the discount only applies to “standard configuration”. This means that the pre-configured server will only be discounted and any additional upgrades such as more RAM or hard drives will not be discounted. Even so, these savings make Superb Hosting dedicated servers a steal when compared to its peers such as The Planet, Softlayer, and other top dedicated server companies. Take a look at some of the popular server configurations and see how much you can save.

Double the RAM
Oct 11th
Superb Hosting is offering Double the RAM promotion for its dedicated servers. This pretty much means that for any server configuration you choose, Superb Hosting will double the normal amount of RAM. For instance, if a dedicated server originally comes with 1GB of RAM, this promotion gives you a free upgrade to 2GB of RAM. If a dedicated server originally comes with 2GB of RAM, this promotion gives you a free upgrade to 4GB of RAM. Learn More>
Promo code 7399 – Double the RAM
This promotion is only valid on regular priced dedicated servers. In other words, this promotion does not apply to Superb Internet’s clearance servers. Unfortunately, this promotion does not double any additional RAM you plan to purchase with your dedicated server. To view a list of all eligible servers for this promotion, click here.
