I'll skip the features. You can do a quick comparison with other hosting plans, services. The features are very competitive at the price they advertise. Price cost is extremely attractive (or so you think). Support is definitely excellent. At the very least, a published support line and on-line chat that I've never had to wait for over 5 times on about 10 support calls/requests I've made. Yet, I just found out one extremely nagging limitation. They set a limit of 50 emails/hr. You can have the limit raised to 500 emails/hr. 500 emails sounds like a lot, no? The truth is, it's a horrible limitation if you need to send customized emails to 1000 users... what do you do? Internet is about marketing, advertising, support... email is one major tool for marketing. On top of all this, you will not be aware of this feature until you hit the limit. I've been with Hostmonster for almost 6 months now... I was a satisfied customer. Until this email issue, now I am forced to reconsider. No, I am not a spammer, in fact, I've sent a total of
about 2000 emails combined the past 5 months. Now our biz is taking off
and growing with 1000+ registered users, how can I send customized email to all users?
