"Excellent shared hosting for the price."

3.5/5

What do you like best about FatCow?

Affordable hosting with access to control panels and sql databases for basic cms websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FatCow?

limited resources means this is for the small business/personal market where web applications hosted will not be very complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FatCow:

Be sure it will meet your requirements and that you don't need vps hosting or hosting tailored to wordpress/drupal. If all you need is cpanel access for a small forum or custom app this was the lowest cost option that I was able to find at the time. We relied on this service for client hosting when first starting a new web development shop, and eventually grew out of it, but it was great and met every expectation when we were using it.

"Best Bang For Your Buck"

5/5

What do you like best about FatCow?

I love that you do not have to choose a tiered service plan. All plans are unlimited bandwidth and storage. When shopping around, I noticed that a lot of hosting companies charge for MySQL databases (the main reason I was looking for a site instead of my student account). FatCow doesn't. I also appreciate the fact that they are a green company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FatCow?

Managing multiple sites was not quite as simple as the site claims. It took me a while to figure it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FatCow:

I don't know how FatCow compares to large scale enterprise needs, but for individuals or small businesses, the ease of use, low cost, and free installation of WordPress, Joomla, etc. make FatCow very attractive. As does the free domain registration with the purchase of a hosting plan.

Another cool feature is the ability to sign in with your Google account. We all have a lot of passwords and usernames to try and keep track of, and being able to use Google login to access your site is a great time-saver.

I was also very pleased by the speed in which the site went live and the speed in which add-ons like WordPress are installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
