Host Monster has been providing hosting solutions to thousands of business and personal web sites since 1996. Our internet hosting package helps businesses and individuals get high-powered service at a fraction of the cost.

Editor's Note: Host Monster's Professional Hosting plan is outstanding because they offer maximum guaranteed uptime by using high quality redundant systems.

Business Hosting

Host Monster's Professional plan features 1500GB of disk space, and 15000GB bandwidth. Features include one free domain name, unlimited domains allowed, unlimited POP3 e-mail accounts, MySQL databases, website statistics, a selection of e-commerce shopping carts, and several one-click applications.

Overall Performance

Reliability
Host Monster utilizes multiple separate data centres on multiple backbones to the internet. Their servers run on diverse backbones and their networks are monitored 24/7. All three data centers have UPS power back-up and diesel back-up generators so that your website will be up and running all the time.

Price Value
The price for hosting is very reasonable for the ridiculous amount of disk space and bandwidth Host Monster offers..

Control Panel
Host Monster utilizes cPanel. It makes managing a shared hosting account very simple with self serve interfaces and end user access for mail and domain administration. The control panel's point-and-click simplicity makes website creation, site marketing and stats collection, shopping cart implementation, email account creation very straight forward.

Customer Support
Host Monster Support Representatives are available 24/7 by phone (toll-free), email, and live chat. Their online help center has a large, searchable knowledgebase, and a very comprehensive collection of interactive online tutorials.
