Reliability (5/5)





HostMonster pledges a 99.9% uptime guarantee. They are able to do so by operating their servers inside of a highly developed data center. Their Quad Opterons servers are fully backed up with generators should a power drop occur. To ensure all HostMonster clients experience the highest level of performance, the company’s network is connected to an OC-48 backbone system. All servers are installed with Apache ensuring stability. Security is a high priority as well – their data center is monitored 24×7 and data is constantly backed up securely and reliably. When it comes to stability and reliability, HostMonster can’t be beat.
Price Value (5/5)





Every hosting account with HostMonster includes a free domain, unlimited web space, unlimited bandwidth and unlimited e-mail accounts. Some of the fantastic bonus features they offer with all their accounts include WordPress, Drupal, social networking programs, PHP 5 and Perl 5 support. Combine all this with some really great e-commerce and multimedia features, you’ve got yourself a fantastic web hosting account with room to grow for a very small monthly cost. HostMonster will even submit your site to major search engines and give their clients $50 in Google credits. $5.95 a month (special promo this month) is an offer that can be beat!
Control Panel (5/5)





HostMonster equips all of their hosting accounts with cPanel. This well-known control panel software makes administering to your web site a breeze. Incredibly simple to use, cPanel categorizes all tasks and features into corresponding panels on the admin screen. You’ll have access to all your e-mail features, your site files, statistics and more. Setting up a new database is a very easy task and can be accomplished in just a few clicks. The control panel also offers advanced features – Apache handlers, an image manager, FrontPage extensions and network tools are just a few. cPanel is designed for both the novice and the expert when it comes to web host management.
Customer Support (5/5)





The HostMonster Help Desk allows easy access to a support ticket system, knowledge base, many video tutorials to help you get started and a user forum to “pick the brains” of your fellow hosting customers. Other avenues for support include an online cPanel documentation area and live chat. No matter what, HostMonster has you covered for support issues.
Overall Value (5/5)





Reliability, the strength of a well-known and established web hosting company and a lot of great features all rolled up into one very nice hosting package is what makes HostMonster a company so many have come to rely upon. With their affordable price, you can host and create a great website that will have the assurance of 99.9% uptime. Clearly HostMonster is a company to seriously consider when choosing your new host.

What is the Different Between Bluehost and Hostmonster?
| « ServerPronto Reviews | Powweb Hosting Reviews » |






Hostmonster is an average hosting company and not that best as someone claimed. You should aware that there is no 100% perfect hosting and hostmonster is the one. They are reliable but the support sometimes annoying. They kept asked me like I am a dumb even I already answered all questions.

I am not a customer of them, because i was pissed off by their support when I ask them to clarify things that is not clear in ther advertisement. The guy quit my chat MANY times. The price is good, that’s why i almost signed up to their package, but luckily I didn’t because with the kind of support i get before I purchase, I can’t imagine what will it be like once I’ve paid for it.
Worst, when I went to their support forum, few people there are so stuck up that they just scold me back for making such remark. (hostmonsterforum.com). I hope they will improve their support in the near future. No comment on other stuffs as I was treated like shit when I almost sign up for their package
note: i wasn’t asking for anythign extra, just clarify their terms about domain stuffs.

hostmonster should got 5/5 from me if their support were not sometimes retarded. hostmonster has a much less downtime than I expected, plus a great price value with a easy-to-use cpanel.
but….their support pissed me off!! really shameful!! He did move my site to another server without my acknowledge. It could not pose any serious problem is one of my sites not ruined by the lost of database. Completely lost!!!

Hmm….If I am hostmonster manager then some retard support staff would be fired of course!! HM offering a great uptime and easy-to-use cp but some support staff is quite frankly. Slow response and know nothing but only excuse again and again. I do not assume all support staffs are suck but some of them does. Please please improve on this. I do believe you have a large scale but keep the current customer is much easier than finding a new one, isn’t?

Simply: STAY AWAY!
People who are giving HM five stars have no idea what kind of a**holes they are! Yet…
They closed my account after about 3 months, without a clear reason. They said it cannot be opened again, and promised me a refund for remaining 9 months. After 2 months I saw no refunds whatsoever. I contacted them, they said they’ll give me refund shortly. Again, 3 months passed, no refund. They even started to avoid me.
And when there was only 1 month (of 12) left, they gave me 6 USD! This is outrageous! 8 months wasted! Someone should hack their servers for good! Their attitude sucks…

I guess these guys do okay. I can’t really give them a ringing endorsement but they seem to work hard to resolve any issues that you have. Customer support and control panel were okay compared to whats available.

HostMonster is a really great web hosting service. I’m trying to think of a time when I had an issue with down time but I can’t really think of one. A little bit pricey, but the overall service is really good in my opinion.

Hostmonster.com is really great in value and everything. But they are prone to hacking alot more. For some reason people just target sites hosted by hostmonster its best to keep all your scripts uptodate if you do host. Just in case!

Their price is not cheapest but reasonable compared to quality. They offer a quality support and some delay in reply but overall is acceptable. The seobaglyak are recommending them.
