What uServers does

uServers, legally constituted as U Servers Comunicaciones, S.C., is a privately held Mexican web hosting company headquartered in Coyoacán, Mexico City, operating since at least 1998 and self-described as the number one web hosting provider in Mexico. The company serves primarily small and medium-sized businesses and individuals seeking an affordable Mexican online presence, with a secondary reseller channel called Ejecutivos Adjuntos. Geographic focus is the Mexican domestic market with marginal Latin American reach.

The core product is shared web hosting built on Apache with PHP, Perl, MySQL, CGI, SSI, and SSL/TLS, complemented by email hosting (POP3/IMAP/SMTP) with collaborative spam filtering and antivirus protection running on dedicated email servers that block hundreds of thousands of malicious messages daily. The portfolio also includes free domain registration bundled with annual hosting plans, SSL certificates signed by Thawte Consulting, MySQL database hosting, nightly backups, and FTP access. Customer-facing platforms include the proprietary ControlWeb panel for self-service account management and the ZonaEA partner portal for resellers. Security infrastructure includes AES128/Rijndael encryption of credit card data and Thawte-signed certificates.

uServers operates a fully self-service, subscription-based revenue model with annual billing cycles; pricing is not publicly disclosed but tiers differentiate personal (1 GB email storage per user) versus professional (5 GB per user) plans. Distribution is direct via the web.uservers.net website, with payment acceptance spanning BBVA/Bancomer and Banamex bank deposits, PayPal, and Visa, Mastercard, and American Express credit cards (debit cards including Electron/Maestro are explicitly rejected). The company has 1-10 employees, no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no public management team information.
