Uptime & Reliability

99% uptime with added security

I do like the fact that AvaHost.net has guarantees set in place for their customers. They have a safe encrypted server and guarantee 99% uptime and security for your domain. Their network runs on 24/7 Ethernet links from six separate backbone providers with 20,000 windows and Linux web servers for better web hosting reliability. They a have a money back guarantee if you are not fully satisfied with their services.

Features

A variety of great options to choose from

AvaHost.net offers three different types of hosting packages to choose from. You have the option of choosing between a starter plan, a plus plan or an eCommerce plan for websites needing use of online shopping carts and merchant configurations. All three plans include unlimited disk space, unlimited data transfer, as well as unlimited email accounts. The difference between the three plans falls within there domain category. Starter plans only offer 2 separate sites per account, 10 parked domains, and 50 subdomains. The plus plan and eCommerce plan offer unlimited domains in this category.

AvaHost.net web hosting plans are pretty much straight forward and all share the same amount of features in each category. The only difference you will see between the three plans is located in the domains category like mentioned above and under the eCommerce section of Private SSL certificate and Dedicated IP. The eCommerce features are optional for starter plans and plus plans but not recommended if your website doesn’t do high volume of credit card transactions.

Their customer support is well set up. When it comes to committing to a hosting provider, customer support is very important. It is essential to have a live dedicated team that will help you troubleshoot if you ever run into an error or server issue. Most hosting providers use support tickets and mostly answer via email. I really admire companies that use live support as a means of communication. You can quickly have a question answered right off the website by simply clicking the green live chat button located on the side bar of the webpage. AvaHost.net also has a series of FAQ’s located in the Contact Us section of the website, where you can find answers to technical support questions at anytime.

AvaHost.net can be reached by live chat, by telephone (509) 275-715 and via email. You can simply submit a ticket right from your dashboard or email them directly support@avahost.net

Pricing

Nice cost structure for easy payments

I’m a big fan of how AvaHost.net pricing structure is set up. Their costs per service is very transparent and there is no set up fee. Their pricing is the same across the board for their start up plan and plus plan. Both plans are only $2.77 a month. If you need eCommerce for your internet business then it will run $9.76 a month on average. These costs are based on their standard pricing. If you need upgrades or additional add ons to your hosting plan you can do so at anytime. Additional fees will apply.

If you’re a business that operates multiple websites then AvaHost.net Reseller plans are ideal. They are perfect for people who want to resell web hosting accounts commercially with their own web hosting or web design company. There is 4 different type of plans to choose from all varying in space and price depending on how much domain management you require. Prices range from $9.95 to $43.00 a month. Each plan doubles or triples in space and client accounts. All other features for reseller plans is unlimited for each category.

Summary

Overall good quality hosting

I would consider AvaHost.net for their web hosting services based on the fact that they have more positive ratings than negatives. Their technical support team in the industry is unmatched. Their plans are fairly priced compared to other well known hosting providers but offer more support if you run into any technical issues.

Pros:

• No setup fees
• Live support
• Dedicated servers
• Quality web security
• Full library of resources and tutorials

Cons:

• Extras like custom design service are expensive
