HostMonster Profile

The hosting packages place emphasis on providing the biggest bang for your buck and include hefty features such as unlimited bandwidth, diskspace, domains per account etc. With HostMonster you can depend on fast server speeds and excellent customer support.

With regards to features, HostMonster is one of the trend setters and stays far ahead of the crowd. They allow all sorts of great features like ruby on rails, shell access and many others that are not often found with competitors. Another great feature is the added bonuses including free hand submissions to Google, Yahoo and MSN which will help your site show up in the search engines fast!

HostMonster Editorial Ratings and Reviews
With experience comes knowledge and skills that can't be taught any other way. Having been in the business since 1996 it's nothing but natural that HostMonster has become somewhat of the leaders of the pack. The support is outstanding - extremely helpful and with an unbeatable response-time. And yes! Their services and features are among the best and strongest in the hosting industry.
We also have to mention that we're really impressed in the way that HostMonster keeps everything so simple. Completing the set-up is easy as A, B, C and everything you need is included. Should you not be pleased with their services, or for any other reason wish to change provider, then it's simply to request for a cancellation whenever so wanted - you'll be charged no extra fees. Most providers come with at least some kind of downside but we really can't find anything to complain about here.
HostMonster Reviews
I can't recommend hostmonster after having all of my sites down over 24 hours. Slow customer service resulted in client complaints making the low cost of hosting with them worthless - once I lose a client and my reputation, any savings are pointless. Hostmonster just lost me for that reason.
Hostmonster has exceeded my expectations! Sure they were rated first on several of the host-ranking websites and offered an exceptional amount of space for a great price, but how good would the service actually be? Excellent. I am consistently able to talk with tech support without having to wait more than a few seconds on hold. Every tech I've talked with was unusually knowledgeable, helpful, and a pleasure to work with... they all sounded happy to serve me. What a great difference from other hosting companies I've worked with! I highly recommend Hostmonster.
I have been using hostmonster to host multiple domains and am extremely happy with them. They also allow teamspeak and ventrilo hosting if you but a dedicated IP. Using them for webhosting was one of the best choices in my career.
I was with Hostmonster for quite some time now, and all of a sudden all of my sites go down and are suspended for a few hours due to a number of completely valid files. The files were large photography files of a hosted sub domain. However I received no notification before hand that this is what would happen. My email stopped working and it took an hour for them to reconnect all of my sites back online. After recommending to them that I should have been notified of this ahead of time, they just said in a cold voice that that is what their Terms of Service says. Hostmonster is very poor at listening to their customers and does not see that random suspensions are not the way to win customers.
I have been with HostMonster for approximately two years, and I have been more than satisfied with their hosting. Any time I have called for support, I never waited more than a couple minutes, and my question or issued was resolved with one phone call. I have not experienced any down time with any of my websites. My only disappointment is that they do not offer reseller hosting. Hopefully, someday that will change. I always recommend HostMonster to anyone who asks my opinion. I have dealt with other hosting companies and with one I was on hold for a very long time before my call was answered, and the other didn't even have a phone number. It took days to get a simple issue resolved because I had to communicate through help tickets and wait for responses.
After being a customer for several years it was renewal time. Depending on its affiliates you can host for about 4 bucks a month or as high as 8 bucks a month. Guess what? new customers get a great starting rate but at renwal the prices double so you may want to check out others pricing policies befor signing up with HostMonster...the renewals are Monsterous! And yes I did call and was told pricing promotions were for new customers only.
So far HostMonster has provided me with a good service. They offer Unlimited Space and Bandwidth which is a very big plus for me because my site generates a lot of traffic. My only hope would be that HostMonster keeps their service with Unlimited Bandwidth and Space.
Everything has been smooth and great so far with Host Monster hosting my site.
Good service. Easy.
This web hosting is the best web hosting i ever worked with they really have the 24/7 support Thanks for all the team there.
