WebHostingPad – Editor’s Review

There are both pros and cons in WebHostingPad services. In overall, we think WebHostingPad hosting is doing okay.

Listed below is the summary of our comments on WebHostingPad.

What’s good aboutWebHostingPad?

  • WebHostingPad is exteremely cheap! In fact they are the cheapest unlimited hosting we found online.
  • Unlimited hosting capacity – host all your websites and blogs in one hosting account.
  • Secured hosting environment – WebHostingPad run their own datacenter in Chicago, IL and the system is covered by complete power redundancy in power and fire suppression protection.
  • 24/7 customer supports available via live chat, toll-free phone, and email support.
  • Simple and direct hosting plan – smooth ordering process that cut most confusions for first timers.
  • Clear trial and refund policy , customers get up to 30 days of trial period.
  • Free MIVA, Google, and Yahoo! marketing credits worth $100 upon signup.

What’s bad aboutWebHostingPad?

  • Inefficient customer support – 24/7 supports are available but we find most their staffs lack of technical knowledge and some what difficult to communicate.
  • Server uptime could be an issue for heavy-trafficked website.
  • Provide only shared hosting services – WebHostingPad customers who wish to upgrade their hosting services will need to move to a new web host.

Conclusion

WebHostingPad is not the kind of web host with supreme service quality BUT they are extremely cheap. Seeing such, we believe that WebHostingPad is the right web host for individual webmasters who are looking for some great bargains; the web host, apparently, is not for business or large website hosting.
