Reliability
AN Hosting is able to provide a very stable and reliable environment due to its use of top-of-the-line hardware. Most of their shared servers are Dual Dual-Core Xeon servers with a minimum of 8 GB of RAM. Servers run RAID-5 using SATA drives to provide for additional data redundancy and stability.

A collection of billing features help make account management easier too.
