Hostmonster Web Hosting Review

When I wanted to buy a web hosting, I found a Hostmonster Review that contains positive feedback from customers, the companies I found were dedicated to doing reviews, and the truth these reviews are NOT helpful because, as will speak on a service do not use.

Start with the payment method, the truth that the price is quite competitive, especially if you pay per year and that this would not be paid setup fee. I pay for one year package, the transfer was fast and easily in minutes was created my account.

Among the control panel and I really lost it was so complex, especially when adding domains. As they had of my domains from godaddy Nameservers the namservers, Hostmonster asked me the authorization code for the domain to verify that the domain was mine, this seemed a bit tedious, since for that I will add a domain that is not mine ...

The File Transfer speed was very acceptable, and the server load average really kept low, the server where my sites stayed had a load average of 1st, I very much like, well of course I was going to look good and that came from a Godaddy server with load average of 8.0.

You can go exploring all options, the truth is that when you get used to it becomes easier to use.

Mount my sites without any problem, some were pure html and php. Everything works without any inconvenience and fast.

Something that I like is that they say they do backups, but periodically, it is but I suspect that when a problem does not think there is a recent backup available, hopefully this wrong.

As a week of use I started to have problems, as several times a day, coming to my sites, I went out in my browser that the site was unavailable. Apparently it was a problem of interconnect Hostmonster, never got a clear answer from the support people, and the suggestion that gave me support one of its section of "Live Chat" was that when the site was down let me know with them, well I never had the chance to get over the technicalities when my site was down, usually when he could communicate with one my site was back.

Let's talk about the ticket system, well I will summarize it is fatal, if you create a ticket to be answered at least a week, so if you have a problem must be reported by the "Live Chat" because if they do ticket through what most likely will not answer.

One option that I found very good is to enable SSH access if you request, I served my lot to run commands or inserting database, with this it becomes very easy. To enable this service you need to send a copy of an ID in my case, send a copy of my passport and that's enough.

They have the system called Fantastico to install applications, the truth is very easy to use.

They have a page to see the status of servers, there you can put the main domain (which you registered with the hosting) and gives you the status of the server. There is so much work as I've seen only alerts of updates.

There is also a stranger to Hostmonster forum, which actually is not because it is so called as less support is in trouble with Hostmonster, but everything is useful aid to come to the webmaster, for example problem with php, or mount a database in Hostmonster.

In conclusion, Hostmonster is a great choice for someone looking for a hosting a good price and high performance, this means fast servers.

Like most hosting providers do not expect much help from the support, most things you will have to do.
