Price & Plans

HostMonster offers one comprehensive plan with 3 different payment options:

3 or 6 Months - $8.95/month
12 Months - $6.95/month
24 Months - $4.95/month

They have waived the $30.00 set-up fee and $10.00 domain registration if you choose a 12 or 24 month package. This means free set-up and more savings with a longer contract.

For comparison sake, the 3 month contract costs a total of $57 while the 24 month costs $119. So for slightly more than twice the cost, the 24 month contract covers a time period that is 8 times longer, making it a much better value.

Features

Service

Phone support and live chat are available 24/7. There is also a responsive ticket
system and a self-help knowledge center that contains close to 300 articles on
various web hosting topics. This allows you to learn more about successfully managing a website.

Space

300 gigabytes; most sites are 20 megabytes or less (1 gigabyte = 1,024 megabytes) so there is more than enough space to host large sites or even a network of sites.

Bandwidth

3,000 gigabytes per month; most sites need 10 gigabytes or less.

Security
HostMonster employs SSH or Secure Shell Access; this allows you to make changes to your site and development environment within a secure channel. HostMonster also provides SSL secure servers. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) ensures that any information exchanged between your visitors and the website is encrypted and safe.

Reliability
HostMonster uses the latest quad processor servers for good website speed and performance. It also counts on a variety of safeguards in its data centers such as backup generators and 24/7 network monitoring to keep your site online and accessible to visitors all the time.

Ease of Use
cPanel, one of the most popular and easy hosting control panels, is available with every HostMonster account. This program makes it really fast and easy to manage your website. As a bonus, the control panel layout can be customized to suit your preferences. Try the demo at HostMonster.com.

Freebies
Every new web hosting account receives a free domain, free domain privacy service, and free set-up as long as you choose a one or two year plan. The combination of these free items saves about $5.

Guarantees
