The cPanel HostInformation & Reviews on the Web’s Best cPanel Hosts

This is the first cPanel Shared Hosting Review for the cPanel Host and there is a reason for it, HostMonster is my #1 cPanel Shared Hosting web host.  I have continually surfed different Top 10 lists on Google and other Search Engines and they always seem to have HostGator as the number #1 Rated host.  I personally think it is only because of their Affiliate Program and not because they are actually a good cPanel Host.  My personal experience with HostGator actually only lasted a few days.  i wasn’t happy with the base setup and how the account was created, so I dropped them right away and got my money back.  Simple as that.  Does that mean they are not a good web hosting company?  No, but if you are going to say a company is Rated #1, they better be good across the board on everything.  In this regard, I think HostMonster delivers.

Basic Features: 

• Unlimited Space
• Unlimited Bandwidth
• Unlimited Domains
• Unlimited Email Accounts
• cPanel 11 (with Advanced Modifications and Features)

Those features I just listed wouldn’t mean anything if they couldn’ deliver on my two top requirements for a web host.  Ease of use and Customer Service.  HostMonster delivers in both areas.  For starters, you get a Free Domain when you sign-up.  Then you get instant account creation.  No waiting around for days to see when they will finally get your account setup.  So now you can jump right in.

What you find is a Sub-control Panel that gives you access to top-tier account admin functions.  You don’t have to surf to a different URL to find it, it is right there when you Login.  This includes a Domain mangement area where you can manage your domains outside of your cPanel.  Speaking of cPanel; HostMonster has an uber modified version of cPanel with every single administrative function you could possibly want.  So many features I can’t even begin to list them all.  Plus, they carry both Fantastico Deluxe and SImple Scripts, which allows you to instantly install tons of software scripts right from your cPanel.  Wordpress, Joomla, Gallery 2, etc. 

Then, if you have a problem, their Customer Service will take care of you right away.  For a host which boasts over 360,000 websites, this is a feat.  This doesn’t matter, you can run almost any PHP, Perl, CGI script with this hosting package and if your software requires something special, just contact Customer Service and it will be taken care of right away. 

As you can see, I am very biased towards HostMonster.  I couldn’t recommend them more as a cPanel Shared Hosting service.  For $6.95 a year, you will not find a better deal.  Guaranteed!
