Publishing with Host Monster

I didn’t have any experience in website building when I decided to start my own online magazine. After doing some research, I read some great reviews about Host Monster and decided to give it a try. The start-up wizard showed me how to set up my Web Disk, which made it easy to update my pages quickly. In starting a magazine, advertising is vital, and Host Monster included promotional offers on advertising from online companies, which made it possible for me to publicize my website on a limited budget. I was able to set up and customize four different email accounts with no difficulty. The layout is simple and easy to use, and tech support was very helpful in answering all of my questions. My first issue is almost ready to launch and I'm definitely glad I chose Host Monster.

The absolute BEST!

Value, Value, Value complemented with Service, Service, Service. I've used Lunarpages (Very good), StartLogic (They suck), GoDaddy (So-So), and others but Hostmonster is just Fantastic. Total uptime, tons of storage, tons of bandwidth, and unlimited domains. I have 60 domains hosted on these people and they are simply the best! The only thing that is a bit of a drawback from these people is that they are constantly trying to upsell their customers on Bullshit services like Postini anti-spam and other crap. A minor annoyance considering the many pluses.

Biggest Pro: Unlimited Domains, Huge Storage/Bandwidth
Biggest Con: Trying to upsell clients with BS services

Hostmonster Review

I found Host Monster on Google, and it seemed to have a great hosting plan - very cheap and it came with a free domain name.

On live chat I asked a few questions about the plan and free domains, and the support staff were very helpful and told me everything I needed to know. I signed up immediately. I got my free domain, and access to my first cPanel account ever. I installed several PHP scripts (MyBB, Zen Cart) and played around for a while, before eventually setting up the main site.

In the 4 months I have been hosted at Host Monster, I have never had downtime - though the connection speed got a little slow on about 3 occassions.

Overall Host Monster is an awesome host to do business with, and my site is still going strong. I definetly recommend.

Biggest Pro: Free domain name and promotion

Hostmonster has one of the best plans I have ever tried

So just for signing up, you get a free domain, and it is whatever extension you can find. I have seen some hosts give you a free domain, but it is a .info or something. Hostmonster gave me my doamin, they had to register it of course, but that takes 5-10$ out of my expenses every year. Also, any time, day or night, that I have had a question or problem, the live chat person usually responded within about a minute, and helped me find a solution to my problem.

Biggest Pro: Unlimited domains for one low price,

Great Host

Hostmonster is one of the best hosting company I have ever known. They are really professional. Every time they do an upgrade of some sort they inform you by email and they tell you exactly how many minutes/hours the downtime will be. Plus, if you have any question they will automatically help you. Last time I wanted to see if I could index warez on my site, they responded to my mail 10 minutes later. I really appreciate all their hard work and dedication. 9.5/10 ;)

Love Hostmonstor

After dealing with another "Cheap" hosting company I was a bit nervous to go with Hostmonster. The one thing that sold me was the ability to call and speak to a live person any time I needed. I have used this a few times and the help has been fantastic. A few of the sites I hosted were hacked, this happens, but they were very helpful in making some changes to help prevent this from happening again.

My old hosting company delt with emails when you had an issue. That did not work well, their tech support always reported that the issue was resolved yet the problem was still there. It took 3 tickets to resolve the average issue. Hostmonster is not that way, the phone calls work best and if you have to wait, a voice tells you where you sit in the queue and how many calls are in front of you.

Biggest Pro: NO

Hostmonster is really awesome and feature-packed! We have been hosting our website here for two months now and so far, no downtimes. Their cpanel is really something to rave about, the interface is sleek and user friendly. I did have some issue with their mail server junking valid email messages from valid sources before but that was easily resolved. Their customer service is great, their agents are really helpful and very understanding. I would recommend this host to everyone, its cheap as well, if you avail of their annual rates it would only cost about $5 per month.

Great webhost

HostMonster is a very good host. They provide 300GB of disk space and 3TB of data transfer, although they don't have the 300 gigs ready for you, so if everyone on your server starts to use it, you'd have a problem.

Support is great. I've used the live chat a few times, and all I can say is: wow. They're online 24/7, and they have knowledge about Linux and everything. I've performed a speed test from my home (Near Amsterdam, The Netherlands) to their server and I reached about 200kB/s, not that bad. I've not experienced any downtime yet.

I would certainly recommend HostMonster to anyone that needs for reliable webhosting, for a great price (certainly compared to Dutch webhosts).

Biggest Pro: SSH support
Biggest Con: cPanel doesn't look well

Host Monster Review

Host Monster for me is the best option out there that I have found in my searching. The things that made me go for it include; price, ability to host multiple domains, plenty of space, plenty of transfer. The price I pay per month at the time of my registering was 5.95. This is very reasonable for the features given. I have been hosting multiple sites on it for about 5 months and can not remember it ever being down on me. Also it has excellent customer support via chat that has always been available for me.

The main downside that i have found is that there CPanel is a bit of a pain. For some reason they use this custom theme which I personally find hard to navigate and just not pleasant looking. However, it has all the functionality of a normal CPanel, it just might take more time to find things. So if you aren't worried about being on CPanel all the time, then I wouldn't worry about it. Overall a very good choice in my opinion!

Biggest Pro: Host Multiple Domains
Biggest Con: The Cpanel
