Web Hosting Review : Best Web Hosting

Overview:

Fat Cow have been in the web hosting for some time now but are not so well known amongst some of the bigger web hosting providers currently dominating top 10 hosting lists. Fat Cow offer just on plan charged at $4.83 per month which includes unlimited bandwidth, web space and hosted domain names.

Customer Service:

Fat Cow offer all three forms of web hosting support, email, toll-free phone and live-chat 24/7. Emails are answered promptly and you are very rarely kept waiting for long on the phone. Fat Cow's advanced help centre usually offers enough guides and tutorials for you to resolve more general problems for yourself however it's good to know there is someone available on the end of the phone if and when you need them.

Control Panel:

Fat Cow use a control panel named H-Sphere instead of the industry standard, cPanel. Although the controls are powerful it can be hard to get your head round especially if you are used to cPanel or vDeck with other hosting providers. If you are transferring your website you should also be aware that a change in control panel can cause complications so be sure to check with them first.

Price:

Fat Cow are currently offering web hosting for $4.83 per month for their 12 month plan, which includes instant free set-up and a free domain name. There are no other web hosting plans, just the standard leaving no room for confusion.

Reliability:

Fat Cow are often talked about for their uptime, if downtime does become an issue then their experienced technical team will be alerted within minutes thanks to their own in-house server monitoring solution. With Fat Cow you are also offered the chance to upgrade and receive daily backups of your site encase you lose your data or you break your website beyond repair.

Summary:

Fat Cow's website strives to put the fun back into web hosting meaning their approach is not necessarily suited to business users. They have been in web hosting for long enough now that they have gained the trust from hundreds of webmasters and are considered highly respected in the web hosting industry. Fat Cow have had a slow growth but do have a lot of potential so we would expect them to do well in the future. Good old, light-hearted fun.
