HostMonster’s reliable web hosting service goes back to 1996. While thousands of hosts have come and gone during that time, this company has remained afloat with great features and an overall quality of service that can be afforded on nearly any budget. HostMonster recently lowered the price of their plan from $6.95 to $5.95, making it a more attractive solution to the webmaster looking to get onboard with their first site. Their rates may now be lower, but the level of excellence remains the same – extremely high.

Their price is not cheapest but reasonable one compared to quality. I have been with them for 2 years and found only a few downtimes. They offer a quality support and some delay in reply but overall is acceptable.
Host Monster have been a great provider to me up to now, I put a comment for customer support as a 4 but to tell the truth I have never had to use them, the service has been top quality
Monster are a great hosting company I have been with them for a couple of years now, with mysql backended sites and I have not had any significant outages, ok there has been the odd glitch but I’m a pragmatist and don’t actually believe in the perfect service
While I prefer Bluehost myself over Hostmonster, my fellow webmaster friends and several colleagues have all chosen to go with Hostmonster. They have all applauded Hostmonster’s clean interface and I have to be honest, from what I have seen, it is exceptional. Hostmonster is the near perfect host.
Host monster provides high quality hosting services and I have hosted some sites with them for about 2 years now. I have had no problems with them and my sites have always been up. I’ve never noticed a downtime with them
I have been hosting with Hostmonster for a while now and I have to say that I completely agree with the ratings for Host Monster. Their services are reliable, affordable and they do provide good customer support. I have given them a rating of 5/5 in all their services too because I think they deserve it.
I have had the best web hosting experience with HostMonster. I had earlier been hosting with ipowerweb but their customer support is so bad that I had to move all the accounts I was hosting to hostmonster. They have been really good in terms of support and the cost of their services. I give them a rating of all fives
Richard, I agree with you on the poor customer support being offered by ipower. I once had a billing problem and first tried to get a rep on live chat. I was told the live chat was just for sales. I then tried calling billing. I was on the phone for one hour and couldn’t get through to any billing rep. That was about a year ago and I have since switched to HostMonster. A friend had recommended them to me.
I’m using Hostmonster and all I can say their reliable is awesome!! However, they are not as that cheap and customer support sometimes delayed in reply my email, but the rest are still good.

Not the cheapest of hosts, but you get what you pay for. The customer service is first class. When I had a problem setting up my DNS I simply called the 24-hour toll free phone number and they helped me sort it out over the phone. I was really impressed with how helpful they were.

Out of all the hosting providers I have used over the years I can now safely say I have found one that I am happy with. My not very technical, so having a company that is willing to help you out over the phone is sadly not seen very often online.

Hostmonster does a good job for me. My 3 sites have been hosted with them for almost 2 years and never had any problems. Some small downtime but acceptable.
Here is my personal review. I have been with them for almost a year. They have some downtime and some delay in answer my inquiry. Overall is so far so average for me. Get 4/5 based on my experienced.
Hostmonster is great. It comes with cPanel which is the best control panel available on the market. The pricing is great. The few times that I have contacted customer support regarding a few questions I have had, they have always answered promptly and kept a professional manner. I would recommend them to anyone.
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.
i used this service for hosting some forums and i can tell yo that i had a great uptime and server rarely put me down..i really like this service as it is not only cost effective but also reliable in its own way..great support and good hosting packages makes it different from other hosting services.:)
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.
Good uptime and easy to use control panel is their upside. Their support is ok, sometimes delay but is can be accepted.
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.
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?
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.
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 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.
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.
