😞 We've had HostMonster for over a decade. Within the last year, we have received numberous emails about our domain being infected. After paying for SiteLock that they were upselling, we received another email about another domain of ours. Again and again they kept telling us one by one that our sites are infected and that we need to purchase SiteLock or otherwise they will take all our sites offline.
It's very disappointing to be with a provider for so long without any issues and now they are having nothing but issues.

😉 I have been with hostmonster for 15 years and recently came on hard time. The renewal option only allowed me to upgrade to the most expensive pro version which I had to pay 1 to 3 years for. After contacting customer service, I was able to buy just one month at $22 instead of $11 it would have costed me per month by buying a entire year. But then, they also made me pay for a $17 coupon (that they just made up) that would have applied to the yearly fee. So my total host price for one month was nearly $50. Free hosting in other places.

😠 I had a BASIC VPS and move manually to a ENHANCED VPS because they did not tell me they have an automatically upgrade. From the beginning ENHANCED has problem with the email configuration, sql goes down several times per day, and I could not install other important domain and the accounting software. Then I asked for a upgrade to PREMIUM VPS. and Hostmonster said they have a problem to upgrade and it will resolve it. After 10 days and having a lot of problems with de current VPS, Hostmonster did not resolve the problem. Each day the same, it said: "We are working on it.". Its customer service STINKS!!!

📄 Editorial Review
🔃 Host Monster is part of Newfold Digital🔧 Services: Web HostingDomain Registration ICANN registrar Own datacenter
HostMonster project was started by Matt Heaton shortly after making bluehost.com a great success.
By today, even after being part of EIG they still offer only shared hosting. Why ? Simple because this is their strong part of the business. So, if you want a cheap and reliable provider, you are on good hands with these guys.
From the beginning, they only had ONE webhosting package available (under Linux platform) with full of features. Nowadays they still have just one plan, where you can host unlimited domains and get one free domain registration included. So basically, for any startup, they offer the best choice.
Finally offering VPS and Dedicated Linux Machines
💰 Price & Cost
Amazing what you get for such small price (look also for coupon code). There are no companies on the market offering such great package! Give them a try and you will not regret!
⌛ Reliability
HostMonster is constantly looking to improve their uptime and servers stability. They already added so many features, that their servers are never hanging or crashing. They use shared environment (basically offering only budget hosting), and they got the best value from their servers.
🏢 Data Center
Using and sharing the same datacenter with BlueHost, located in Utah.
✍️ Customer Support
You will not believe how excellent technical support has hostmoster.com
Their forum will also help you anytime you need. Tried and you will be convinced ... then you will stick with them. Amazing.
🔨 Control Panel
HostMonster is using latest version of CPanel which is top control panel software available on today's market.
🎯 Conclusion
Choosing HostMonster is great option. You will not regret. Your business will grow protected by a very serious company always ready to help you.🌏 Server locations:

I am a website rookie. I count on the customer support when I need to go technical with the site. I have used Host Monster for years. Never an email issue. Never a down time notification issue. They all go down occasionally. I count on notification and quick to come back up.
Tools are awsome and a bang for the buck. You go elsewhere if you want. I'm staying put.....

I love Hostmonster, excellent Tech Support, never have to wait more then 5 minutes. The extras they give such as $50 Free Google AdWord credits is awesome. Up Time so far has been 100%. I recommend Hostmonster to anyone thinking about getting a website.
Joel ( Service@I... ) / http://www.illinoiswindowservice.com/
Hostmonster is great. Tech Support is excellent, don't have to wait more than 5 minutes, and the Techs don't mind fielding questions outside the realm of Hostmonster. I like the $50 AdWords and $25 Yahoo Credits. Affiliate program is excellent also, I have refered people and gotten $65 after 3 months hosted.
Hostmonster is fantastic. Since the time I hook up with them I have no reason to fear at all. Their are 24/7 online is real and their support services is fantastic. Their Affiliate program is superb, Infact they are a blessing to the online community. Keep on with the good work.
Host Monster is everything we need of hosting provider. Customer and technical support are excellent and always available. CPanel is great for use. Everything is ok . We are recommending Host Monster.
I chose Hostmonster as my web host, and I think it's great ! Customer Support is excellent, and so is the Tech Support. It's very affordable, and has allot of user friendly features.
Hostmonster is great, Technical Support always available, as well as Customer Service. The referral program is excellent too ! Nothing but good things to say about Hostmonster.
I have been using hostmonster. I signed up for three years.
It is simply incredibly comparing to my previous host, Webhostingpad.
Webhostingpad advertise their plan as unlimited which turned out to be fake.
Hostmonster allows its user to use their server as web disk to store truly unlimited amount of data.
Nobody else can offer plan like this.

I think HostMonster is great. The Customer Service people are friendly, and I haven't been put on hold for a lenghty period of time. The Tech Support is great too, they are willing to answer questions that were not specific to my account, it's great to get some added information. Once I was doing some web work for a client, and I was totally stone walled by thier Web Host, after dealing with them, I realize HostMonster is #1 for me, no comparison.
HostMonster have every feature I have ever wanted. They are also very cheap and their service is wonderful. They have answered all my questions within only a few hours even on the weekend. I rate them 11 out of ten!!! And no I dont work for them.

I had used mod_gzip in the past (Almost 10 years ago) so I was familiar with how it all worked and it was simple to set up. Mod_deflate basically takes certain types of files and compresses them at the server level and then sends those smaller files to you. Images, zip files, etc [...]
