1UHost is a hosting company based in South Florida and founded in 2001 in order to meet a growing demand for hosting services in the region. While also offering a few VPS plans, 1UHost primarily deals with shared hosting servers, also offering reseller plans. in addition, they offer SHOUTcast hosting for any radio needs you may have. They have a proven track record and over the years have developed a loyal customer base relying mostly on referrals and word-of-mouth.
Aside from your usual planned maintenance 1UHost.com claim to give at least 99.5% up-time which they have confidently backed-up with a guarantee. This means comes day or night you should receive absolute minimal downtime which is something every website owners wants to hear.
Data centers can be found in several Worldwide locations such as France and the UK, and a 30-day money back offer is on the table should you have any problems, or are generally unhappy with the service you are getting. It’s these kind of guarantees that are back up by money back offers that really pull the good from the bad, and 1UHost.com offer confidence in reliability.
All of their servers run on Linux (cPanel included), which also includes a multi language interface allowing for customization to anybody’s region. The maximum disk space in their shared plans in between 5GB and 35GB (with bandwidth ranging from 20GB to 100GB), so they are primarily small plans. Only on the high end plan (commercial) do you get unlimited sub domains, email accounts, and so on, as they are limited on the start and special plans. Even add-on domains are limited to 15 on the commercial plan, and while that should be enough for most people, it’s unfortunate that it’s limited.
They have three different VPS plans with disk space ranging from 10 to 50GB and bandwidth from 50 to 200GB. All VPS servers have 1GB of RAM burastable up to 4GB with 4 CPU cores, while running CentoOS. If you’re looking for an affordable VPS with decent specs, I would recommend taking a closer look at 1UHost.
I am not a fan of their reseller plans at all. They are well-priced, but even if it’s only $7.95 a month, what the heck can you do with 5GB of disk space and 50GB bandwidth in terms of reselling? Maybe it won’t be bad to create small cPanel accounts that have 1GB of space and 10GB of bandwidth, but it’s cutting it close. Even the expensive reseller plan only includes 30GB of disk space and 200GB of bandwidth, too low for an upper level reseller plan.
Imagine the worst thing that could happen to your site. You suddenly make a change that brings everything crashing down and need help ASAP! Well, with 1UHost.com they offer a dedicated 24/7 support centre with trained staff on call that can help you with server issues, hosting issues and CPanel guidance.
In terms of the channels they offer support on, well, this could be improved as you can only utilise email support and a knowledge base so if you are looking for a ticket system, live chat or a forum – you are out of luck.
It’s not all bad news though as response times via email are very quick, and they will strive to get a definite answer back to you quickly.
One thing that you will notice straight away with 1UHost.com is the prices, they are almost hard to believe. I mean, who would have though you could get a VPS for as little as $4.95 per month? Of course, you can expect that to be a very basic setup but nonetheless you won’t find many companies offering such an opportunity.
In terms of other hosting prices, these are also highly competitive with your standard hosting plans starting at less than $6, while reseller plans and commercial website hosting plans are $5.95 and $12.95 respectively.
It’s all well and good to have great prices and decent reliability but what any site really needs is the features and specs to be able to back that up. 1UHost.com offer some decent specs on each hosting plan with 10GB diskspace for your standard $5.95 per month hosting, and 50GB for the VPS Lite package.
Resller hosting plans can benefit from 8 CPU cores, and even the VPS Lite plan offers 4 CPU cores so you are assured that your website will run smoothly and fast.
If you want to host a personal site or a small business site then 1UHost.com do a great job of providing you what you really need, and by offering VPS Lite plan for $4.95 that adds real core value to what they are trying to achieve.
Prices and reliability are both good and will tempt any potential customer, with the major downside being that they don’t offer a broad range of contact and support methods.There are a few little extra services they offer which have become a part of most hosting companies these days, and they are domain registrations.
