WebHostingPad Hosting Review

Webhostingpad Offers Exceptionally High Quality Services

Webhostingpad is a great hosting service; with a lot of connections and a constant stream of awards for its efforts. Their prices were recently slashed to $1.99 per month for a solid package of hosting services and file uploading. That low price does also include domain registration when the customer signs up for a biennial package. The $1.99 also includes unlimited Bandwidth, unlimited email addresses and no limit to the amount of domains the user can register. It gives immediate access to unlimited disk space on their Linux operating system, compatible with so many social and existing blog formats. Even with the low prices, they are known for having great up-time and a good distribution of users enabling the servers to be fast all the time, even peak hours.

Besides their great physical space, price and speed, among the services included for free are: 50 scripts compatible with WordPress, Joomla CRG and phpbb; marketing credits with Google, Yahoo, Facebook and MyAds; and ecommerce readiness for services like OS Commerce, Magento, Authorize.Net and Zen cart.

The control panel offered with Webhostingpad, CPanel, is easy to use and has its own RVSitebuilder tool which features free images that most sites don’t. CPanel also has free scripts and software for use on their hosted sites. The big benefit of using these tools is that the staff knows and supports them.

One of the biggest reasons that Webhostingpad is one of the best for hosting is their customer service. Their customer service is exemplary and comes with a 24 hour hotline that incurs no extra charges. Their techs actually come to the phone, are U.S. based, and take their time to address your problem. With just under a million customers, maintaining that kind of service is a big plus to people considering using Webhostingpad to host their website. The biggest and most important proof of their excellence in customer service and services provided is that they have one of the lowest turnovers of customers in the entire industry. The recently changed prices have given some reviewers cause for concern about whether they will be able to afford to continue their high level of service, but so far, their packages are the best value around.

HostPapa Hosting Review

HostPapa: Looking Out for Customers and the Environment

Unlike most high quality webhosting providers, HostPapa stands out in terms of efficiency and affordability. This webhost service offers great deals for a great webhosting experience; this includes a free domain for life, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space, a free setup that would normally cost around $29.95, cPanel Control Panel and a 30 day money back guarantee. The payment plans and options are also flexible and reliable. What sets this apart from most webhosting service providers is that it uses 100% Green Energy in web hosting. That is something that most webhost service providers fail to possess, an environment friendly webhosting service that helps save the environment by reducing the emissions produced from their servers.

This web host service provider looks after its customers by providing them high quality services at an affordable price.  It’s amazing how an affordable webhost provider can do so much for those who are planning to put up their very own websites to advertise their services and products. Small business owners can put up their desired website through the tools provided by the service. Even the most inexperienced web designer can make use of the web designing tools and customize their website any way they want to without any limits. Even if these inexperienced web designers or builders encounter problems, they can contact the customer service via phone, chat or email and the customer service representatives would quickly address the subscriber’s issues.

The internet is very dynamic and constant changes occur from time to time. Updating the website may be painstaking. Fortunately for those subscribing in this web hosting service, staying up to date may not be as difficult as it seems because the servers back up the data in the subscriber’s website just in case anything goes haywire. With a user friendly web design interface and a 24/7 quality customer service, who wouldn’t want to subscribe to their service? Though most web hosting services may offer similar features, none of them are as efficient in helping their customers get and maintain their desired website. Not only does HostPapa look after its customers, it also looks after the environment.

Dotster Hosting Review

Web Hosting Services Provided By Dotster

Dotster is a web hosting services which specializes in providing websites for individuals and small businesses that have the need of a website but lack technical knowledge to build a site from scratch.

Its web hosting options are broken down into two packages, the website building package and the business hosting package. The first package includes a web design service which is based on a template (the user chooses from a selection) that Dotster designers then help personalize. Domain registration is included along with advice on choosing a domain name; Linux hosting comes as standard and there is the option to add email addresses which feature the domain name of the account. The business package includes all of the above but in addition, uses a Plesk Linux VPS hosting service.

Users who register for either package also have access to four other services. Firstly the SEO marketing service starts with a consultation to identify needs, an analysis of the layout and functionality of the user’s site, keyword research specific to the nature of the site and then submission of the site to mainstream search engines. There is also the option to take advantage of website content optimization.

A local site promotion service allows users to target promotions of their site to specific regions, cities and even as specific as local neighborhoods. The payment structure is based on results as opposed to page impressions. This function allows the creation of online offers, such as unique coupons or offer codes, and the results of these, as well as that of the main promotion, are tracked and sent as daily activity reports.

An email marketing service is also provided which helps users build up newsletter and email campaigns. Again templates are provided, and support and guidance on content and layout are offered. These campaigns are also tracked and activity reports sent.

A sub site called DotsterConnect allows users to set up miniature social networking sites in addition to the main site; once again support on physical layout, promotion and functionality is provided. Features include, but are not restricted to, befriending, notifications, blogs, albums, articles, event creation and video and media support.

WebzPro Hosting Review

Webzpro Online Hosting Services and Options

Webzpro services were born out of a customer’s dissatisfaction with the service.  Its creator felt he could deliver a better hosting service to others than he was receiving himself. Since its inception in 2004 the company has set customer satisfaction as its main goal.

Services are split into web hosting options and reselling packages with the former having four main options and the latter, five. Unlimited bandwidth is only offered in the top three of the web hosting packages and similarly the starter package (known as the WP-100) comes with a cap of 3 allowed domains and 20 email addresses. All the other three (the WP-200, WP-300 and WP-400) have unlimited domains and email addresses. The names of the packages also denote the amount of bandwidth available, for example, the WP-200 comes with 200GB of bandwidth per month. Disk space for the packages goes up in the following amounts, 5,000MB, 10,000MB, 15,000 MB and 20,000 MB.

All new accounts are hosted on a server system called “Dual ‘Nehalem’ Quad Core Xeon 5520” which is designed for site performance and to provide for day to day needs of a hosted website. Advanced options for all packages also include Dreamweaver integration, FTP access and the ability to set up as many accounts as is necessary for each user. Customized error pages also come as standard as well as a daily backup of the whole site, which can be accessed from the control panel.

The reseller hosting packages are called WR-1, WR-2, WR-3, WR-4 and WR-5 and come with 5MB, 8MB, 12MB, 15MB and 20MB of resalable disk space respectively. Resalable bandwidth is offered in increments of 50GB starting from 125GB with WR-1 and going up to 325MB with the WR-5. Unlimited domains are allowed on all of these packages and prices for them start from $19.95 per month.

Further support comes from brand leading software systems such as PayPal and Cisco whose software can be integrated into Webzpro hosted sites.

StartLogic Hosting Review

StartLogic: Logically Gives You the Right Subscription

Building the right website may not be as hard as putting it up on the internet for the entire world to see. There are lots of great web hosting services that offer their customers packages such as unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space, unlimited domains and unlimited file transfers. All these things may seem enticing for those who are new to the site building world. But with different web host providers offering the same packages at a certain price, people might just go for whatever those packages are without knowing whether they will benefit from it or not. It’s like buying a pack of candies when you only want one flavor out of the entire pack. This is similar to getting the right web host service subscription. Although most web hosting services give out these packages, do people really need unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space or domain names just to put up their website? That is where StartLogic stands out from the rest; the company offers potential subscribers different packages based on the subscription they want.

Keep in mind that the unlimited features come at a price, meaning, people need to pay more to for all of the special features offered in the package. With StartLogic, they offer their clients subscription packages that suit them, such as PersonaLogic, ProLogic and VPSLogic. The most affordable package among the three is the PersonaLogic. This subscription is basically for those who plan to only use a limited amount of disk storage and bandwidth. The package comes along with a free site builder, blog forum tools and unlimited email boxes. All these features are ideal for budding site builders and for those who want an affordable web hosting subscription. The ProLogic allows users to enjoy unlimited storage and file transfers along with a free site builder, domain name and free Google, Yahoo and Bing credits. The VPSLogic offers 20GB of disc space and 1TB for data transfer, 1GB Burstable RAM and a choice of Linux OS. With different subscription plans, there is no need to waste money on features that are useless in building and hosting the desired website.

By posting their products and services on the net, people from all over the world can have access to their website and seek out all of the information about the product or services being offered.

Super Green Hosting Review

Super Green Hosting: Saving the Environment, Saving Your Money

Getting a website done isn’t that difficult for the right web hosting service that provides all the resources needed at an affordable price. It may be a fact that getting a free hosting service would get the job done by putting up the website online for visitors to stumble upon; but customizing the website for one’s personal taste is rather limited and so is the quality of templates offered; thus turning the desired website into a generic one that wouldn’t stand out unlike the rest. That is why there is a need to look for a professional web hosting service to satisfy one’s website needs.

Most people might not know this as a fact but web hosting could actually damage the environment. The servers used by most web hosting companies actually create emissions that are damaging our environment. Fortunately, the webhosting service provided by Super Green Hosting is environmental friendly. Super Green Hosting is a unique webhost provider that uses the latest and highest quality server components which use energy efficiently to help reduce the emissions within the environment. The servers that are being used are powered naturally by winds and trees making it an ideal web hosting service for those who want to do their bit in saving the environment.

Like most webhost providers, they provide a free domain name to their subscribers along with an unlimited hosting space and an unlimited bandwidth. This would enable their subscribers to get unlimited database and email accounts for the website they desire. A site builder is also made available for those who want to customize their website as per their personal preferences. It also offers free software packages such as Joomla and WordPress that are useful for the hosting interface. If the subscribers are not satisfied with the services provided, they can always have an anytime-money-back guarantee. However, considering the quality services offered, there is little need for the same. Not only does Super Green Hosting help save the environment, but it also helps people save money by offering services at an affordable rate.

GreenGeeks Hosting Review

Greengeeks: Saving Your Site, Your Wallet and Your Planet

Greengeeks is a webhosting service that takes their hosting duties just as seriously as they do their duty to the environment. They claim over 40 years of web site hosting experience among management and their monthly package is priced at $4.95 a month. While cheap, it is substantially higher than most hosts in that range; they claim this is because Greengeeks is 300 percent green hosting, with renewable wind power as the energy source of their hosting and their offices. Their entire operation has been rated carbon neutral friendly. The 300% is possible because they replace 3 times as much power as they use with their renewable energy credits. They also stay green at work, taking turns bringing lunches into the office, using recycled paper, but only when necessary, and allowing employees to telecommute whenever possible.
As for the hosting services, for the slightly less than $5 a month, Greengeeks offers unlimited email accounts, storage space and data transfer. Fully supported web site migration is free and taken care of by the support staff that are available 24/7 and all based in North America.

Greengeeks serves its users with Intel Dual Quad Core servers and RAID storage. Their control panel comes with a free, easy-to-use site builder. RV Site Builder has over 600 templates for personalized and professional sites, accompanied by professional, domain specific, unlimited email addresses. The tools are meant to be navigable by people familiar only with the simplest social blog sites like WordPress and Joomla.

Applications are fully supported and installed with a few clicks thanks to the standard Fantastico. There is nightly, system-wide backup for all users and all servers to prevent loss in extreme circumstances. Online store setup is included in the monthly rate with shopping carts by OS Commerce, CubeCart and Zen-Cart all integrated into a payment system using PayPal and all major credit cards. Free advertising credits with Yahoo are also included with membership.

Greengeeks offers a myriad of service for a slightly higher price than its competitors, but at a much lower cost to the environment. Their commitment to the earth and your service is commendable and great for sites with a conscience.
