Review on LSMedia by the Forum Hosting Directory

LSMedia is a relatively new company, which has a very clear focus on hosting PHP-applications. Among the scripts it supports, phpBB is the best-seller.

Feature-Price Effectiveness

The prices at LSMedia for web hosting services start from $8.95/mo for 100MB space, 1MySQL database, 10GB transfer, free domain, etc. The features offered by LSMedia are very small and you might have difficulties hosting a large forum on one of their accounts. The company makes free forum installation on your account within 1 day. We think the price is too high for the set of features they offer as compared to the other shared hosting companies.

Support Quality

LSMedia provides technical support through a contact form and video tutorials. They are not very fast, but they have lots of expertise in serving phpBB.

Customer opinion

Our research of LSMedia shows that the company is considered to be stable and reliable and they get more positive than negative reviews. The few reviews that we found show that their server uptime is just as high as they promise it to be.

Our Evaluation

We ranked LSMedia-Hosting second because they have specialized in phpBB hosting and have lots of expertise. They still need to work on improving their features and maybe lowering the price. The company won bonus points for the user-friendly video tutorials and because it support phpBB-gallery integrations.
