Features

Many nice features

For a web hosting company, BuyHTTP does seem to be fairly thorough in what they offer for hosting packages.

They also offer reseller hosting packages if that is something you are looking for.

They built many of their server and hosting options around open source software, so you are able to get the most out of your script site.

Support

Limited support hours

BuyHTTP does not seem to offer 24/7 support like many other hosting sites do. They do have a ticketing and live chat help system, however, they are not online 24/7. When offline, you can submit a ticket and they will get back to you during regular business hours. Additionally, you may call or email with any questions. They do have an extensive knowledge base for self-help, however, when that doesn't answer your questions it is good to be able to reach out for one-on-one assistance.

Pricing

Typical hosting prices

The pricing for hosting services with BuyHTTP are fairly reasonable, starting at only $5.95 a month for personal hosting that include a lot of unlimited features such as email accounts, subdomains and parked domains. Additionally, business hosting starts at $6.95 a month, with its own unlimited features as well. Managed and reseller hosting cost a bit more, but are fairly reasonable for what they are and what the packages offer. BuyHTTP does not offer any discounts with bulk purchasing or any sort of other payment options, however, their prices are inexpensive enough where they seem to be giving you the best value already.
