Hosting Review for FatCow

FatCow is our #3 Rated Web Host

The folks at FatCow do have a certain charm, and you can see it all over their website. But beyond fun, FatCow representatives pride themselves on straightforward service without the techno-talk and complicated service plans. FatCow has tried to take the confusion out of web hosting by offering only one generous hosting plan that is ecommerce ready.

Reliability

FatCow is one of very few website hosting companies that spend more time concentrating on the happiness of their clients, than worrying about anything else. I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for simple, no-nonsense website hosting that offers all of the basics for a start up online business or an individual looking to create a presence for themselves on the internet.

Price Value

The $66 plan is a change from the multi-plan, multi-pricing strategies usually seen. A one plan one price strategy means a company concentrates all its resources in providing one complete plan. The FatCow $66 plan comes with Unlimited GB of storage space and Unlimited GB data monthly transfer limit! The setup fee is generously waived off and all accounts are eCommerce enabled by default.

Control Panel

FatCow's control panel is a little hard to read and navigate because it isn't intuitively organized, but it gets the job done. There are three main functions on the panel: administration, utilities and support. Through administration, you can manage your account information, check billing, change email settings and review statistics. The utilities function contains tools you need to make your website function to its fullest potential for your customers, and the support function gives you access to help pages and tech support.

Customer Support

FatCow has made significant efforts to make their online help simple to use. They offer the usual support options, including a help desk covering common topics. If you would rather talk to a support agent you can call toll free. Customer Support is not available 24 hours a day, but the hours are extensive: 6:00 A.M. to midnight weekdays and 8am to 8pm on weekends, MST. Web Support/Technical Support is available 24/7 through your Control Panel.

Summary

Overall, Fatcow hosting will meet most needs of a small to medium-sized business. The price is affordable; they also have a 30-day money back guarantee. To customize your plan, FatCow offers add-ons at additional cost. Be sure to compare plans before you purchase however, particularly if you find that you need FatCow's add-ons.
