This New Zealand-based WebHost began in 2014. Relatively new and unheard of to the web hosting game, Host Bee is budget & beginner friendly and easy to manage. They offer 24/7 web support, a once-normal but now rare to see in budget hosting. A 99.999% uptime claim is good to see but standard on most hosts. They offer RAID setup on their servers and free backup. A standard 30-days money-back guarantee and free website migration are part of the deal. Top that with unlimited bandwidth and 24/7 server maintenance, and you can start seeing why Host Bee looks pretty attractive to newbies. It's also nice that so far, they are not bought by a corporation, which seems to be happening a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Host Bee has some fantastic features, but it's not something extraordinary. And in this competitve hosting market, you need to give more value for a competitive price, not standard value for standard price, which is what Host Bee seems to be doing. There cheapest packange, Shared Hosting, starts at $9.99/month as a promotion. Renews at $11.99/month. This is quite expensive compared to other more known providers. In all fairness, they do provide 32GB of DDR3 RAM, which may justify the cost, but for shared hosting, it seems like overkill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
