By choosing Dell and HP servers, the vendor can guarantee a combination of high-performance servers with perfect compatibility with various OS platforms. Moreover, this vendor’s web hosting servers are powered by SATA/SSD hard disks with a hardware RAID controller. This offers exceptional website power as well as highly reliable hosting services.
All of its servers support both Linux and Windows OS distributions with automatic installation of control panel available from the client area. This enables the vendor’s hosting solutions to adapt to host different types of websites that support applications such as PHP, using MySQL databases or HTML powered websites.

Pricing and Support
Mengine web hosting packages are offered with standard pricing when compared with what other vendors are offering in the same niche. The hosting solutions are advertised with monthly prices but customers can only commit to a contract of at least 12 months. Prices are listed in euros.
In an email response that I received from this vendor, a support rep explained to me that they offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee and refund customers 50% of their monthly payments in the event that down time lasts more than four hours.
Mengine’s customer support desk is available from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday via telephone and ticketing system. Although there is a live chat link on its website, the link opens a support ticket, a clear indication that the vendor does not have active live chat. The vendor has an email address, but it is only available on its Facebook account.
I submitted a ticket and received a response from this vendor’s support team in just over three hours.
Mengine does not have a knowledge base section and the link to the FAQ is unresponsive.
