While maybe not one of the big name web hosting companies in the industry (right now), WebHostingHub is making a play at changing all of that in the very near future. I am seeing an increasing number of small businesses partnering up with this company.
No one would accuse WebHostingHub of being a household name right now, but if they keep to the development and growth patterns that they have been enjoying so far, it may not be a stretch to consider them one of the best up and comer web hosting providers.
Having a web site up and running is quite an achievement, but the story doesn’t end there. With continuous backups your efforts won’t be lost even if you mess something up.
Welcome on Board!
One of the most interesting features that makes WebHostingHub really special compared to the dozens of hosting companies I know, is the special and personal on-boarding call.They doon’t rest after they got your trust (and money). Once your account is set up, a rep from the company will call you and discuss all the steps you should take to make the most out of your hosting accounts. That really goes the extra mile and shows the commitment to customers’ succes.
BBB Accredited
An A+ rating on BBB shows the commitment I like about Web Hosting Hub. A BBB accreditation doesn’t mean BBB reviewed/evaluated their services. It means that the business takes customer complaints seriously and resolves them in a good faith, customer friendly manner.Average Uptime
What you see below is my uptime statistics for Inmotion. In the last 30 days it looks like there was some kind of server issue that resulted in 99.16% uptime.
I would say that’s an average uptime among web hosts in this price range. What you see at most web hosts is 99.9%, but most of them do not guarantee it. To see how much downtime that means, you can check Hosting Manual’s Uptime Calculator.
I will have to make an update on this in a month or so, because I think this might have been a one-time issue. As you can see the last seven days it’s showing 100%. That means not even a single second of downtime. That’s by the way what’s consintent with my experience.
Zero-downtime Web Site Transfer
Zero-downtime is what Webhostinghub offers with web site transfers too. In case you have an existing site, you simply let it to them to transfer your files and databases over and make sure that everything works as it should. You are not locked in with your current hosting company (in case you don’t like them).In case you still find something is not quite right at any time, you can contact the customer support 24/7. I will write more about the support experience later on.
cPanel, my Favorite Control Panel
cPanel is my favorite control panel of all. Vdeck and Plesk are not bad either, but cPanel is the one I get things done with, and fast! Here is what cPanel looks like at Web Hosting Hub:
If you are already familiar with this control panel, there is pretty much everything standard. If you don’t really know it yet, I am going to write about each feature in detail later on, so check back.
Finding the Hidden Gem
Since I hadn’t tried out WebHostingHub.com personally (though I am managing a lot of small business accounts that are using them for some time), I signed up for an account to test them out and see what they had to offer.When my client first told me about them, I wasn’t expecting too much from a company I barely had heard of, I was none the less blown away by this hidden little gem.
Unlimited Resources with Handy Tools
The free domain name and the marketing credits actually worth more than what you pay for upfront. Here are some details about the major features:
Unlimited Web Hosting – Unlimited number of websites, domains, disk space, bandwidth.- More Tools – With 310+ free tools you can easily create blogs, ecommerce sites or whatever you can come up with.
- Free Domain Name – Get a unique domain name for your new project for free with your hosting account.
Real Full Money Back Guarantee – Most other hosts will give only a partial refund, even if you cancel minutes after signing up. Not Webhostinghub. If you cancel within 90 days of signing up, they will give you a full refund, no deductions under any nice name.
Easy Saving Time
The things I particularly like about WebHostingHub.com were how easy everything was. Even though I’m a bit of a web professional, the last thing I want to do when running a business is waste time when there is an easier or simpler way.One of the things that really knocked me out was the fact that they really understood this concept and did everything they possibly could to make sure that things were easy, well labeled, and laid out in a smart and intuitive way.
WebHostingHub Review > cPanel Brings the Goodies
If you’ve ever struggled with a user interface of control panel with a web hosting provider and lost countless amounts of precious time because of it you can rest easy – when you go with WebHostingHub, everything has been designed to be as easy as humanly possible.Choice Between Two Data Centers
Most retail hosting companies I have dealt with have only one data center. WebHostingHub.com on the other hand offers the choice between two data centers: one the west coast and one on the east coast. Why is that important you might think? It’s easy: because the closer the data center located to you, the faster your web site and email will load.If you have clients only from a specific geographic location, it certainly makes sense to place your web site as close to them as possible.
Green Data Center in Los Angeles
You have probably heard that the web hosting industry has one of the biggest carbon output. That’s why Hub decided to open data center that’s powered purely by green energy. I don’t know about you, but that’s something that’s high on my list.Support to My Satisfaction
Offer just about unlimited everything (pretty much industry standard across the board), the real gem and hidden surprise of WebHostingHub was the speed of their support services.Prompt Answers
Every time I had a question, comment, or concern I was always directed to a real person almost instantly and the support member stayed with me until the problem was resolved to my satisfaction.There was no breakdown in communication, no bumping me upstairs when the questions became more pointed and difficult to answer – these support team members are completely professional and super knowledgeable.
Watever training they put them through is obviously working very well.
A Great Up and Comer
So even if you hadn’t heard of this company just yet, I want you to know that they are one of the best and brightest of the up and comers in the web hosting world. Let’s just take a look at these features for a sec.
