Price

For ASP.NET hosting, DailyRazor has five plans in total, namely .NET Starter, .NET Edge, .NET Fusion, .NET Matrix and .NET Reloaded. And the company rates them at $3.95/mo, $7.95/mo, $12.95/mo, $17.95/mo and $3.95/mo respectively. Recently, there is a special offer available. If you purchase their ASP.NET service for 6 months, you can get one month free. The longer period of time your service is, less months you pay for.

When you check out, you can choose PayPal or credit card. Other payment methods such as check are not accepted. Like its peers, DailyRazor supports 30 days money back. If you want to cancel your account with DailyRazor out of any reason, you can get full refund within 30 days.

Feature

DailyRazor has invested a lot on their ASP.NET hosting. Generally, the major features that you may require are available with DailyRazor. For better understanding of its feature, we select Host4ASP.NET which is honored as a rising star in the industry for comparison.

The best way to evaluate one’s solutions is to know its primary plan. So, we choose .NET Starter as an example. And Host4ASP.NET has three plans for ASP.NET hosting, we choose Advance plan which has the same price with .NET Starter for comparison.

Feature

Price	$3.95/mo	$3.95/mo
Disk Space	Unlimited	Unlimited
Monthly Data Transfer	Unlimited	Unlimited

ASP.NET MVC	4	5
MySQL Databases	10	12
PHP	5	5.4
IIS	8	8.5
Control Panel	Plesk	WebSitePanel
Conclusion	Not Recommended	Recommended

From the table above, you may notice that although DailyRazor provides many features, most of their technologies are out of date. Except ASP.NET, DailyRazor cannot catch up with the new comer Host4ASP.NET in the rest of features listed in the table.

Thus, if you buy their hosting service, you have to run your business based on outdated resources which would definitely influence your website performance. In the end, you need to pay another sum of money for new technologies. So, DailyRazor might as well invest more on its technologies.

Performance

As for speed, you would better, at first, have a glimpse of their hosting infrastructure. The company uses Intel dual Quad core processor servers. Besides, they provide 1000 Gbps network connection so that users can run their websites at a relative fast speed.

For reliability, the company promises 99.9% uptime. Although they have put a lot of efforts on their infrastructure such as data centers, DailyRazor failed anyway.

According to tracked data and customer feedbacks, the company only performs 99.86% uptime by average. Their servers are not that reliable as they hype. And there are outages happening. For example, DailyRazor servers had a serious outage lasting for nearly 5 hours in 2014. And there are even worse downtimes being reported. Therefore, DailyRazor still has a lot of work to do so as to grow more competitive in the industry.

Customer Support

The company supports 24×7 US-based live chat, email and phone when customers need any technical assistance. In addition, in their support center, you can also submit a support ticket, find a knowledgebase and read some news.

However, their low efficiency has been complained a lot. For example, for support ticket, it often takes a long time to get replies and sometimes so-called replies don’t solve any issues in real terms. Generally, it can be very time-consuming to solve some simple problems, which definitely decrease customer satisfaction.

Conclusion

From analysis above, DailyRazor really needs to improve their technologies and efficiency so that they can gain their foothold in competition. If you are in need for ASP.NET hosting, we recommend some companies with better performance below.
