Review Summary
Host Monster has settled in at $6.95 a month but they also sport some of the best support of the hosts we tested. They claim their average hold time is less than 2 minutes and with our 4 tests done at different times of the day we found the average hold time was only 47 seconds. That's impressive by any standards! They also include great support for shopping carts, forums, photo galleries, and other things which are easily installed/added to your website.
Cost/Value: A great mid-priced deal.
Storage/Bandwidth: You can't get much more than unlimited.
Features: Robust is the word that comes to mind. They offer pretty much everything we could think of.
Reliability: A few tiny slowdowns but nothing major to report.
Support: Another great support team. Hold times were under 2 minutes and they appeared very knowledgeable.
Money Back: 30 Days.
