Founded in 2005 and based in the United States, this relative newcomer to the Web Hosting scene has managed to establish itself firmly near the top of the crowd.  With so many web hosts to choose from this was no easy task.

They have managed to prove their quality and claims are in fact all they propose to be.

With some of the cheapest hosting plan options around, the value for money is simply undeniable, offering everything you could ever need in a web host.

The only thing they don’t currently offer is Video sharing capability, such that Youtube clone sites require, with the use of server FFMPEG streaming.  But their shared hosting market position does not try to overlap into that space at all so that is not even part of the equation.
 
Into the nitty gritty, they currently offer 3 different plans, which are cheaper the longer you lock into:

(prices in USD)

1 year = $4.95 per month

2 years = $2.75 per month (limited offer on at the moment)

3 years = $1.99 per month (limited offer on at the moment)

Who could argue that $1.99 per month ($23.88 per year) is not phenomenal value for money!  However, 3 years is a long time to lock into one host.  If you need to change or cancel for whatever reason down the track you’ll need to pay out the contract.

Webhostingpad are recommended for blogs, image hosting sites, mini-sites, standard company informational sites.  Due to the unlimited bandwidth and storage features you can freely upload/download as much content as you need.

If you plan on maintaining multiple websites then you can host unlimited domains with them and bandwidth/storage is not an issue, which is a massive plus.  They also allow you to register a domain name with them when you sign up.  Another big plus is unlimited mySQL databases which are required for each blog site you create, for instance.  Most open source scripts will utilize mySQL databases so this is a great thing to have.

They use cpanel with a Linux based OS for speed and reliability.  They also give these guarantees on their website:

  • We guarantee 99.9% server uptime *.
  • We provide 24/7 customer support.
  • 7 day 24 hour e-mail support.
  • 7 day live 24 hour telephone support.

  • If you are transferring from another web hosting provider, then we will help you to make sure the process is easy and fast.

Overall, Webhostingpad gets our seal of approval for "Best Value" in a Web Hosting Company.
