Hosting.com Expert Review- From the Editors

PO Box 22789
Louisville, KY 40252

1-866-918-4678

Review

Sales

Sales questions at Hosting.com are answered by live chat and telephone. I was disappointed with live chat, where answers often took ten minutes or more, and reps frequently misspelled words and seemed less than responsive. Telephone sales calls take about fifteen minutes to connect and sales reps by phone seemed a bit more knowledgeable and willing to explain the goings on at Hosting.com.

Setup

Sign-up is simple and quick, and I received a welcome letter by email within moments of paying for my account.

Billing

Hosting.com takes all major credit cards and their billing department is quick to respond to issues and correct mistakes.

Reliability

There were no hardware issues to report over the course of one year with Hosting.com.

Help & Support

Support comes by live chat, telephone and through an online customer portal. I found techs to be helpful, though a little slow to respond to tickets, even in an emergency. Phone support personnel were slightly quicker to address problems, though almost always requested that I file a trouble ticket and wait for a response through the customer portal.

Uptime

My uptime monitor showed that Hosting.com maintained a 99.998% uptime rating over a period of one year.

Pricing

Hosting.com has many, many hosting plans and services to choose from. A base Linux server with no control panel and 4 gigabytes of memory runs just over $400 per month. Hosting.com servers come with a hefty $204 setup fee tacked on, which makes them at least slightly more expensive than other hosts in the market.
