HostMonster Review:
Overview:
We found that HostMonster offers the absolute best value for web hosting available today. They have the best combination of features, reliability, speed, and price, as well as
the ability to consistently maintain the best customer service in the industry. They also allow you to host unlimited domains and unlimited subdomains with 1 account! They offer unlimited email accounts, extremely generous storage and bandwidth allowance, eCommerce capabilities, free setup, free domain for life, tons of free scripts and bonuses, they accept Paypal, and offer a 30-day money back guarantee. They also support PHP, MySQL, Perl, Ruby, SSL and more!
Customer Support:
HostMonster appears to be one of the few companies who advertise their strong focus and commitment to customer service while actually adhering to it. HostMonster customers receive 24/7 phone support as well as chat and email support. They appear to be well staffed and well trained. All of our support requests (whether via phone, chat, or email) have been promptly replied to from a knowledgeable technician without any problems. We put HostMonster to the test by bombarding them over and over with basic to complex technical questions from "how many domains do you support" to "How do I setup 301 redirection in my .htaccess file". They were constantly quick to respond and helpful. They also offer live chat, an online trouble ticket system, and knowledgebase.
Account Management/Control Panel:
HostMonster uses cPanel with the new XP Revolution interface. cPanel is perhaps the most popular web hosting control panel around today. cPanel provides access to support, e-mail & FTP account management, usage statistic information, database creation and management, server configuration settings, amongst others. You can see a screenshot of the cPanel XP Revolution interface below.
Data Center:
HostMonster's data center consists of High Performance Xeon Servers, OC-48 backbone connection, UPS power back-up, diesel back-up generator, 24/7 network monitoring, and mirrored storage backups. HostMonster also guarantees 99.9% network and server uptime.
Bonus Tools / Free Extras:
HostMonster offers tons of additional useful web applications such as 100 free MySQL databases, spam protection, web templates, Agora Shopping Cart, OS Commerce, Fantastico script library, Form mail, Guestbook, Bulletin Board, PHP Nuke, Chat, Blogger, Promotion Tools, Image Galleries, Poll/Surveys, Web Auctions, and search engine submitter amongst others.
Summary:
HostMonster is pioneering the new revolution in web hosting by allowing you to host unlimited domains and unlimited subdomains within 1 account. Whether you are looking to host a personal hobby site or multiple, high-traffic, large eCommerce based storefront sites, HostMonster is currently the best value available. |
