Expert Overview
Customer focused hosting service
HostMyth is another very customer oriented site offering hosting and domain services. They want to provide their customers with satisfaction, value, speed, and reliability. Their datacenters are recognized as the best in the business, and multiple layers of network security and a fully redundant architecture with no single points of failure provide customers with the level of support this company strives for.
Additionally, they have multiple concurrent, high capacity Tier 1 bandwidth providers and network POPs over 10 cities and 2 continents to reach a bigger global market. They have a steady growth strategy while also being practical and competitive to get a lead in this market. HostMyth offers straight-forward shared, cloud, and SSD cloud hosting plans in addition to domain services such as registration and transfer.
Uptime & Reliability
Good uptime with positive customer feedback
HostMyth has a 99.9% uptime guarantee and with top tier providers and hardware, your website is sure to be online when you need it. A quick cross check verifies their uptime and actually provides a few customer reviews that praised their services. There does not seem to be any major concerns with reliability or support.
Features
Limited packages but lots of features
This company offers one plan for each of their different types of hosting plans, but offer unlimited features on all of them. Key unlimited features include unlimited FTP accounts, sub-domains, email accounts, databases, storage space, premium bandwidth and more. Free services include thousands of custom website design in addition to adding online stores, Facebook integration, and more.
They also include Softaculous auto installer, SEO tools, website migration access, and managed services. Customers have a choice of datacenter where they want their websites hosted, and locations include Phoenix and Houston in the United States, London in Europe, and Tokyo, Japan or Central, Singapore in Asia. They have more datacenters slated to open to add more customer choices. Domain services are also available at a yearly price and services include transfer and registration.
Support
Good support 24/7/365
Support is offered 24/7/365 to provide customers with peace of mind in case any emergencies or concerns arise. They have a ticketing center to address concerns, and no knowledgebase or customer forum.
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
Easy to understand yet good hosting
HostMyth offers very simple, easy to use hosting options with plenty of unlimited features for your web hosting and design needs. Simple hosting options are great for customers looking to minimally maintain their sites, but individuals looking for more control over their web hosting may need to look elsewhere. Pricing is fairly reasonable and is reflective of the simplistic but feature loaded hosting options. A dedicated team of support technicians is available 24x7 in case any concerns arise.
Pros:
- 99.9% uptime guarantee
- Easy to use hosting
- Easy to understand options
Cons:
- Only one package per hosting type (shared, VPS, ect)
