Fatcow Web Hosting

Established in 1998, FatCow has been providing web hosting solutions for webmasters across the country and around the world. Their reputation in the online world is well known. FatCow is one of the very few web hosting companies around that still believes simple, old fashioned service and value still count for everything. Their approach is to be a different alternative in the industry, simplify everything for those who need satisfaction from their service provider not techno babble, real business value not confusing price schemes.

Not much to say on this front, other than the fact that FatCow is busy providing customers with the absolute best in reliability. This is an important category when it comes to web hosting. Some would even argue that it is the most important category. FatCow provides a data center that makes use of a power generator and network monitoring that goes around the clock. They’ve also gone the extra mile and provided daily backups, so you don’t get stuck with a dead website when traffic potential is at its highest. It’s hard to find a web hosting provider with a better reputation when it comes to reliability.

FatCow ensures a fast internet download/upload to its servers by providing multi-Gigabit connections for maximum speed and provides redundant multi-Gigabit connections for maximum data transfer reliability. Fatcow monitors its systems 24/7 for hackers and security breaches. It is a member of the Hacker Safe community and is tested and certified on a daily basis. Fatcow employs a highly trained group of technicians and support staff to provide the best possible technical support to its customers. Customer support can be accessed toll-free via the phone lines and 24/7 via the web.

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.

Technical options available for developers: if your site uses either PHP4 or PHP5, they have it covered. There's a thirty (30) day moneyback guarantee and free sixty (60) day trials for most of the commercial products for search engine optimization and email. MySQL and Python are available on the basic plan, and a customizable control panel makes creating a dashboard of quick links super simple and time saving.

All in all, a web hosting company that had been operating 10 years ago and remain strong in the market is a remarkable result and the research around the Internet convince me that they are a remarkable web hosting company.
