Pricing

A little over priced for some options

With unlimited features on all of their plans, they only have one plan for each hosting option. Shared hosting runs $3.95 a month if you purchase 3 years, otherwise, a month to month shared plan is $6.95. Cloud hosting runs at $39.95 a month, unless you purchase multiple years in advance, then you get a discount. SSD Cloud hosting is $49.95 on a month to month basis, but like the others, if you purchase multiple years in advance, you get a discount off the main price.

Overall, pricing is a bit on the more expensive side for limited options, however, feature loaded and straight forward plans make it easy to host your websites if you are looking for minimal maintenance hosting options. Domain pricing, however, is fairly standard at $12.99 a year for registration or transfer for  .com, .net, .org and other addresses.

Summary
