"Hoster Monster Web Hosting"
What do you like best about HostMonster?

The websites which are hosted with HostMonster loads very quickly compared to some other shared hosting service providers. There are many addon services such as CDN, SSL, malware scanning, which are sometimes available for free with some of the packages. Also, they provide MySQL and also allow you to access the cPanel using windows applications such FileZilla. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HostMonster?

The user interface is quite difficult to use compared to hosting services such as Bluehost. Hostmonter doesn't support deploying huge applications such as the one which is built using Python, Java, angular etc. Constant PHP version updates sometimes crash the website, and you may need to rework on your website to take it live. If the account gets blocked for malware related issues, it's really difficult to get it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"HostMonster for Experienced Users"
What do you like best about HostMonster?

HostMonster is well-priced and gives you a lot of flexibility.

WHAT I LIKE:

1. They provide a large dashboard with ample options.

2. Additional products to boost security easily available.

3. Lots of storage at reasonable prices.

4. When I have had to contact customer service, they have been very prompt and helpful.

Overall, I have been very happy with my experience.

Currently, I am using HostMonster in conjunction with WordPress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HostMonster?

My hesitance in unilaterally recommending them is that creating a website is not very intuitive. I tried importing something from Woo Designs and it didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.

There are other plug and play sites that are easier, but they are much more expensive. If you have experience, this should be easy for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Takes a bit to get the hang of it"
What do you like best about HostMonster?

I think once you understand it, it's easy, but it's not the simplest product or dashboard to work within and learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HostMonster?

I am not a fan of their customer support. I also hate how they force you to login to webmail through the dashboard. These are two massive areas they could improve in. They could also offer web tutorials for users who need more time to familiarize themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mostly happy"
What do you like best about HostMonster?

Their customer service is good. When I have a tech issue, I can get a resolution, and they're available 24/7. Not all their reps are great, but most are. For example, I got a rude and unhelpful helpdesk person, but disconnected the chat and was able to resolve the same issue with ease by initiating a new chat session with a new representative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HostMonster?

It's not super easy for non-techy people to use. I'm sure there are many features that I have still not figured out how to use in the 3+ years I have been using the product, and sometimes when I get stuck, I need to hire someone to solve issues. It is rare that I need to hire someone at this point, but it happened on a regular basis when I started using HostMonster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Webhost"
What do you like best about HostMonster?

I have been using hostmonster for about 5 years. Their customer service is very helpful and the control panel is easy to use. I have not had a single problem with their service. I also recommend them to my customenrs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HostMonster?

Sometimes the control panel page will not load because the page is old. Also, I do not like that they charge for securing your website Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"embarrassing attempt at web hosting."
What do you like best about HostMonster?

We as of late changed to HostMonster.I have no apprehensions encouraging them to anyone who wants an incredible trustworthy webhosting and wishes to monitor money as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HostMonster?

Probably I would only keep them for management of emails as they seem to offer unlimited disk space with the mention that over a certain limit of files server speed will slow down. Bad support and very expensive after the first year, you will have to choose to copy paste your file in a new account or pay somewhere like double. Unhappy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Low costs, fantastic service"
What do you like best about HostMonster?

I am very delighted with hostmonster.com for my site hosting.

Their costs are exceptional and their service is fantastic.

I've been a web designer considering that the early years and hostmonster is the very best offer I have actually ever discovered.

I have no fears advising them to anybody who desires a great reputable webhosting and wishes to conserve cash too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HostMonster?

It is kinda costly after the very first year, when you get a lot for sign-up, however it is an excellent service with a great deal of area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
