😠 Hmmm, they are a bunch of slim balls at just taking money. They alway take my money before a domain and only notify me after they have taken it.
The next shitty tricj they have just pulled is to renew my hosting for 3 years without asking. I historically have always done this one year at a time.
And one a payment process is set up, it seem impossible to delete. Wow, I prefer a thief in the night

😠 WORST EVER RUN AS FAR AND FAST AS YOU CAN!!
What an experience from hell with their chat agent, Harshith N. I was so disgusted I talked to his supervisor here was her reply-
My name is Chethan Shenava and I am one of the chat supervisors at FatCow. I agree with you. We do not operate this way and surely we do not want this to happen with any of our customers.
There is not enough room here to go through things, but this agent should be fired!!
Also like many others, had credit card charged, even though I wrote and expressely forbid them to do so. It took a fraud complaint to my CC company to get refund.

😉 what's all the fuzz about?
This is the first time I see that fatcow may have some negative ratings.
I am presently victimized with some downtime of my page, email, and fatcow altogether; so I looked up fatcow's rating with regard to such.
Well, now I hope it is but a sporadic case (maintenance maybe?) ....

📄 Editorial Review
🔃 Fatcow is part of Newfold Digital🔧 Services: Web HostingDomain Registration
FatCow was founded in 1998 and became one of the most popular and influential companies in the hosting industry. It is also known to be one of the oldest hosting providers in the industry. The fact that the FatCow team plays with words and makes the page funny to access gives them an advantage. Their servers have been working on a green hosting platform since 2009 when they started using renewable energy. Their solutions are made for small and medium businesses.
FatCow are experts in the following products:
- Shared Hosting;

- VPS Hosting;
- Dedicated Hosting;
FatCow offers services like the following:
- Easy-to-use website builder;
- $100 Google Ad credits;
- Free domain name;
- $100 Bing Add credits;
- Site templates;
FatCow only offers one Shared Hosting package that includes a selection of themes and templates for customers to customize their page exactly the way they want.

Dedicated Servers are good for businesses of any kind, as well as ecommerce sites. These come with fully managed support and scalable resources. These operate at faster speeds (in case of high traffic sites), come with extended security, mirrored storage, data protection and maximum performance. At the same time, customers can install apps without any restrictions.
💰 Price & Cost
Like the majority of hosting providers in the industry, FatCow offers the standard 30-day money-back guarantee.
FatCow is an honest and direct hosting company (many customers support the idea that they do not have hidden fees or negative surprises regarding the pricing system). Their prices are a good deal as they are competitive and reasonable. FatCow offers one price for the first term, but the renewed prices are not high. Of course, if customers choose a long-term contract, they will benefit of a discount.
⌛ Reliability
FatCow’s uptime is 99%. This is a standard percentage in the hosting industry as the majority of the companies offer this guarantee. There are few companies that actually offer 100% uptime guarantee and many others with 99.99% or 99.9% !
🏢 Data Center
FatCow has two data centers located in Boston, MA. These data centers are secured 24/7 and use N+1 power (A/C and D/C). The front-end network is made up of redundant routers that use BGP to connect on a worldwide level. The network-attached storage at FatCow allows machines to access customer’s data.

Testimonials✅ Customer testimonials
OK ... as I read this site this morning, there have been five Fatcow users with criticisms since the beginning of the year, three of them finding fault with customer services -- out of c.42,000 domains that is not exactly a tidal-wave of fault finding. For this company (Batsford-Bear), and for the eight/nine/ten associates and clients who have changed over to FatCow on our recommendation (we are NOT signed up for any affiliates pay-off packages), we find FatCow provides exceptionally helpful, very, very uncomplicated webhosting for the medium-sized business ... and especially for the medium-sized, multi-client consultancy. It makes it simple (and inexpensive) for a business to look as-smart-as-all-hell in its e-performance and it makes it simple to keep in-house track of even the most-diverse e-traffic. It is, far-and-away, this consultancy's best experience of webhosting in 23 years.
