Overview
IcdSoft is centered around providing quality VSP and shared hosting solutions, but has multiple different plans that are focused on optimizing specific platforms like WordPress, Magento, Drupal, Etc. The most basic shared plan, in this case, called "economy" offers 10GB storage, 500GB bandwidth, with pretty much other low-cost plans having the same amount of resources.
The site is sleek and modern, everything is nicely designed and easy to navigate, although sometimes it can be hard on the eyes with its colors and contents.
The company has its own knowledge base that touches various hosting issues and topics in over 80+ articles.

As stated on the site, the tech support department is online 24/7 and you can contact them by means of a live chat, email, or by opening a ticket.
