Anyone uses Fatcow Hosting? Need advice..

**hotspur** · 08-28-2011, 04:07 AM

I am currently using Fatcow Hosting but utilization is very low (2 websites , 1-2 pages content). I have less than a year of contract left and am going towards building more sites with content.

Thus I would like to ask:

Should I continue with Fatcow? If yes, any idea if the renewal fee will be cheaper or same as what was initially paid (I think is 4 bucks/month)
Other alternative and cheap hosting that allows unlimited domains? (I have no preference on location of servers; just hope for prompt response should things go awry.)

Thanks.

hostgator is good alternative

Thanks for the recommendation; I am also seeking views of those who have used Fatcow before also...

Hostgator seems to be the most popular choice based on alot of forum reviews. I do not trust those website reviews cos they might be affiliates so getting honest reviews in Forum(reputable like dnforum) is still the best.

You can continue with them if you aren't facing any trouble with services...I think renewal fee should be similar as what was you initially paid (as you are existing client)...

If you are looking for an alternative then I can only say; contact web host directly through Live chat or phone to check what exactly they are offering at $4.00 ...

Had FatCow a grand total of two days.

cPanel very screwy. All their tutorial videos were terrible outdated showing old dashboard and applications that were not even current.

Stay away from Lunar Pages. Client's site off line for xx days but took them 6 days to answer emails and restore site.

Trying out Host Clear. Like them thus far.

I bought a fatcow Hosting package 2 years ago and then stopped using it 1 month later after discovering that they don't support cronjob so you can't build anything advance on that.

Not sure about the renewal fee, but from what I think, it might be a better choice for you to change to justhost or ipage, or try the local sg's alphaelite.com.sg (my online friend's company). Good uptime as well and you might be able to negotiate to $4sgd/month or something, this one you need to check with him.

They purchased their name from us so I guess I like them too

If you are happy with fatcow Hosting so then don't change it , but if you are having any problem with their hosting services so then you should go to hostgator because it provides the best services.

I've seen no problem with medium-high traffic sites hosted at fatcow (even during high peek)

Also I've used Lunarpages for 6 years, no down time at all.

as a note, stay away from GoDaddy Hosting.

Why??

**tekz999** · 03-09-2012, 06:39 PM

I had a client who used fatcow Hosting, and after helping him setup some websites, I told him to milk the cow and catch a hostgator. PM me if you need a coupon.
