Review

Sales

Sales questions can be asked by phone, live chat and email. Calls are answered within a few moments, live chat picked up seconds after I connected to it, and my emails were generally answered in less than an hour. The sales reps I spent time with were outgoing and friendly, and answered my questions with speed and thoughtfulness.

Setup

I was told by the sales team that it would take approximately one hour to setup my cloud hosting account, and that’s exactly how it worked out. Following my payment, I received an invoice and thank you letter from HostHero, and my account was ready to use some 50 minutes later. Smooth!

Billing

HostHero accepts MasterCard, Visa and PayPal, and the billing department is available for assistance by telephone, email and an online ticket system. I was billed appropriately during my stay and had no difficulty cancelling my hosting account.

Pricing

HostHero offers cloud hosting with unlimited space and bandwidth, a free domain for life and a 30 day money back guarantee for only $19.95/month (plus a $10 setup fee).I was somewhat surprised to see that this was the monthly fee I would be paying since HostHero advertises this plan for $3.95/month on the front page of their website. They do, in fact, have a $3.95/month cloud hosting plan, but it only extends to those paying for hosting 36 months in advance.

HostHero's virtual private server plans run $39.95/month to $124.95 monthly, and clients can get a free domain for life by paying one year in advance on those plans.

HostHero's monthly cloud and VPSplans are priced about average. If paying for hosting long-term, users can get a great deal, essentially paying shared hosting rates for the much more powerful cloud hosting platform.

Reliability

My hosting server hardware was 100% reliable.

Help & Support

Support is available by live chat, telephone and online ticket system. Nearly all of my trouble tickets were answered within one hour by experienced techs, and phone support is equally efficient. I did find times when live chat support was overwhelmed, which meant I sat on-hold for periods of up to 30 minutes. In those cases, I was able to turn to the phone to get a more immediate answer.

Uptime

My uptime monitor indicated that HostHero held a 99.999% uptime rating.
