Our verdict

InterServer works for US-focused sites that want low cost and a plain, flexible setup. It is a poor fit for visitors mainly outside North America, and for anyone who wants a modern dashboard. The main drawback is the jump after the first period: 30 dollars for the first year becomes 84 dollars on renewal.

The 30-day refund comes from InterServer's terms of service and covers Standard, Windows, Boost and WordPress hosting, not VPS or dedicated servers once started. A price lock guarantee appears only in the plan page metadata, and the terms do not describe it, so it is not counted as a pro. The old review's shared plan names and limits were not rechecked, since the page now shows one standard plan. No independent uptime measurement was found. No coupon or sale was shown on 2026-10-14; the 2.50 first month is the standing intro price. Terms: the Standard plan is sold on 1, 6, 12 and 24 months, each at 2.50 per month for the first term and 7 per month after (6 months: 15 then 42 dollars). Both Standard plan entries carry the full term list. The Cloud compute VPS has no terms: it is billed monthly only and the VPS page says there is no quarterly or yearly discount; plan details were not checked, so terms are left out. On 2026-10-19 interserver.net returned a Cloudflare browser check, so nothing could be re-read that week. Re-checked 2026-10-26: the web hosting page loaded again and shows the same Standard terms (2.50 first month then 7 monthly; 15 then 42 for 6 months; 30 then 84 for 12 months; 60 then 168 for 24 months), the home page still shows cloud VPS from 3 dollars a month, the terms of service still give 30 days for Standard, Windows, Boost and WordPress hosting, and no coupon or sale is shown (the old coupons page now returns 404). Re-checked 2026-11-02 (monthly run): the web hosting page shows the same Standard terms (2.50 first month then 7; 15 then 42; 30 then 84; 60 then 168), the home page still shows cloud compute from 3 dollars a month and the NYC, Dallas and Los Angeles regions, the terms of service still give 30 days for Standard, Windows, Boost and WordPress hosting, and no coupon, Black Friday or sale is shown. Re-checked 2026-11-09 (weekly run): the web hosting page shows the same Standard terms (2.50 first month then 7; 15 then 42; 30 then 84; 60 then 168) and no coupon, Black Friday sale or promotion; the 7.99 domain offer applies to domains only. Refund terms not re-read this week.
