Know many people that have hosted with this company. They seem to be pretty reliable, and value is pretty good. I have yet to change from my current host because of the fact that they are local. If these guys where local where they were accessible 24 hours a day I would consider changing to them.

I only used hostmonster very briefly, before I didn't like all these overselling hosts, but I found them to be pretty acceptable, their prices are a little steep for what they are offering, but other than that they'd been pretty good. Only niggle I had was that the support seemed sluggish and surly.

I have used Hostmonster a number of times but each time I stitched over to another hosting company. Whenever I had a problem with my hosting package, the customer service center was very slow to respond. They are also certainly not the cheapest hosts around.

I had a friend who had few sites with hostmonster and except for delayed customer support issues , he was perfectly happy with them. But with some better options outthere I am not sure if he will be continuing with them. The features I like they had was support for custom php.ini files. It has been great to have that feature since we can try many different things on server as we do on local host.

Well well well...see many peoples here has a lot of praise to Hostmonster. One of my site hosted with them and a bit downtime occured. Not a big time but they should not let this happen! They do guarantee their uptime for 99.9%, don't they?

Hostmonster has a lot of great features as it name - Monster! Their uptime is good but not best yet. From my experiences, Inmotion and Lunarpages does a better job in terms of uptime, but still a great hosting choice.

Good uptime and easy to use control panel is their upside. Their support is ok, sometimes delay but is can be accepted.

i have no idea how companies like hostmonster stay in business. from the looks of the prior reviews this month, it looks like hostmonster is cleaning house and getting rid of all accounts that are not generating money for them. well guess what? you shouldn't be advertising the world if you can't live up to them. they shut our site down this morning (without any prior warning) because of the apparently now standard "sql call" excuse. hostmonster's name is now TRASH in my book and i will tell everybody far and wide what a ethically challenged "business" they run.

I recently started a business online. I had read several reviews on other web hosting companies and Hostmoster seemed to have a lot of great feedback from their other customers. With so many choices out there, it was a difficult decision. However, now that I have my website hosted with them, I am very please with everything about them.
