Uptime & Reliability

Much Improved Hosting

The owner of US Host 247 is very open about the fact that in the early days of their company they had some issues with stability and support. They have, however, learned from their mistakes and now seem to provide their customers with a very stable hosting environment. Customers will get a 99.9% uptime guarantee, no contract hosting, and a 30-day money back guarantee to help ensure you are entirely satisfied with the stability of your hosting.

Features

Focused on Shared Hosting

You can choose from either shared hosting or reseller hosting services. Most people will just be coming to this company for the shared hosting solutions, which are pretty good. Given the fact that they don’t have VPS or other options to grow into, this hosting company is likely best for individuals or small businesses that aren’t going to be expanding to the point where they are getting thousands of visitors at a time.

The shared hosting solutions are broken up into three main packages, plus one that is a trial hosting package for just $.01. The starter hosting package comes with about 5 gigs of disk space, 10 gigs of bandwidth, and cPanel. The large option allows 10 gigs of disk space, almost 100 gigs of bandwidth, and room for 5 domains. Finally, their ultimate package includes unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, unlimited domains, and more.

Other features that are included with all their packages include guaranteed disk space, 99.9% uptime, 30-day money back guarantee, a LetsEncrypt SSL certificate, website builder tools, 370+ install scripts for different tools, and more.

Support

Focused on Tech Support

US Host 247 had a history of poor customer support with responses to tickets taking hours, or even days. To their credit, they realized that this is not a sustainable business model and took steps to solve their problems. Today they have 24/7 tech support with an average response time of less than an hour. They also work hard to be able to fix any reported issues on the very first response, which is quite a bold ambition.

Prices

Very Reasonable Prices

The prices with this company start at just one penny, but that is just for a trial hosting package. The real starter package is just $1.95 per month, the large option is $3.95 per month, and the ultimate package is $9.50 per month. For what you are getting, these prices are quite reasonable. As long as you take the time to read the details on each hosting package and choose the one that will meet your needs, you will be happy with the value that is offered.

Speed

Standard Hosting Speeds

Your website will be able to display to visitors quickly and without delay. US Host 247 operates out of a larger data center since they lease the room, which means they have access to all the best networking equipment. This is one advantage of working with a small company like this. You get the very personalized attention needed, while still using top of the line equipment. All this adds up to a fast hosting environment that you will be happy with.

Summary

Good Shared Hosting

This hosting company is clearly just for those who need entry level hosting. They don’t offer any VPS or dedicated servers, but most people won’t need that type of thing anyway. This is a small hosting company, so they can offer more personal attention should you need it. They have also focused on being able to provide 24/7 tech support, which is quite uncommon for a company this small.

Pros:

• 99.9% Uptime Guarantee
• Quality Tech Support
• Reasonable Prices

Cons:

• No Dedicated Servers or VPS Hosting
• History of Downtime and Poor Customer Service (that has since been fixed)
