FatCow Shared Web Hosting Review

FatCow Shared Web Hosting Company Background

FatCow is a different alternative in shared web hosting, cutting out the tech talk and replacing it with simple language.

Pricing and Value of Their Shared Web Hosting Plan

FatCow's has one web hosting plan and one MiniMoo plan that just hosts your main contact page. Their main shared web hosting plan is $58 a year and for that you get what is listed below. Not bad for just $58 a year.

Reliability

FatCow uses a load-balanced shared web hosting platform, which means that the websites are spread over multiple servers that can easily accommodate spikes in web traffic during busy times. They do daily backups and have a backup generator incase their is a power loss. They also have twenty four by seven monitoring of their facility.

Customer Service Oath For Their Shared Web Hosting

Their HeiferCratic Oath is a nice touch. They give you some real good points for a good customer service experience, even calling you within your first seven days to welcome you onboard.

An oath to give you good sustomer service

Control Panel – (the tool you use to administer your hosting account)

 

While FatCow does not use one of the main control panels such as cPanel or Plesk, they do have a easy to use point and click hosting control panel. They even have video tutorials showing you how to use the admin panel.
