Features<\/h2>\n

HostMonster\u2019s VPS hosting uses OpenStack and KVM technologies that allow more scalability in options. Customers can choose to add more power and features at will. The industry-standard cPanel backend is also used to allow more manageability and function. For those requiring more control, HostMonster also provides root access to their operating system via cPanel. Their Linux operating system comes built in with KVM virtualization solution that essentially assures that the servers meet every demand and consistency at all times. And since it\u2019s open source, it doesn\u2019t translate to more costs for the customers. HostMonster\u2019s VPS solutions are easily provisioned and can be ready for the customer in no time.<\/p>\n

Customer Support<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>HostMonster\u2019s customer support can be reached through various communication and information channels. They have a US-based phone support and live chat that is available all day, everyday. Additionally, HostMonster\u2019s website features guides and tutorials. However, that section of their website needs some updating or some beautification. The user forum in the Web Hosting Help Center looks out-of-date and confusing as well.<\/p>\n

Unlimited Usage and Policies<\/h2>\n

For anyone considering HostMonster\u2019s services, it might be well worth the time to visit their User Agreement Policy. In as much as they want to provide unlimited features on their plans to make them more attractive, HostMonster does place reasonable and commercially viable arbitrary limits to sustain consistent service to its customers. In short, it pays to read the fine print.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s one section of their policy that says, \u201cHostMonster\u2019s service is designed to meet the typical needs of small business and home business website Subscribers in the US. It is not intended to support the sustained demand of large enterprises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another policy worth some looking into, should you consider HostMonster is, \u201cHostMonster does not provide unlimited space for online storage, backups, or archiving of electronic files, documents, log files, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n

Web Hosting companies aim to provide a range of features to enhance the web hosting experience of their customers. Some provide the information on the limits on these features albeit in the form of fine print in the deep recesses of their website. It\u2019s up to the customer to do due diligence in ensuring what they\u2019ll absolutely get when they sign up.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

HostMonster\u00a0SMB Hosting\u00a0Review 2020 \u2013 Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s once again worth mentioning that HostMonster\u2019s VPS offering feels awfully a lot like a rehash of what we\u2019ve seen before. Hint: BlueHost. They even have the same identifier tags on their VPS plans, as well as the same features and pricing structure. Unfortunately, HostMonster doesn\u2019t share the same popularity as its other siblings. Strip off the discounted rates, and they can be more expensive than the competition. Notwithstanding the costly add-ons if the customer wishes a more rich feature-set. It also goes against HostMonster\u2019s favor that they\u2019re not as well branded as the other EIG companies. However, they do have the barebones features of a good VPS provider, and a 30-day money back guarantee. They just don\u2019t have the dazzle of their competitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
