Review of Fatcow

• Fatcow

With their quirky branding and slogans, Fatcow burst onto the stage with a lot of noise! Fortunately they do offer an "udderly fantastic" experience and live up the hype. With the hosting market being so cut throat at the moment, it is rare to find a host pulling all the stops whilst maintaining their dignity. Well, we not sure that's the right word to use with Fatcow, but they certainly do offer a service that is very reliable as well as affordable.

Value 99%

Fatcow has kept things as simple as possible, and yet they have been able to do this without compromising on flexibility. Their one size fits all plan truly does enable anyone wishing to set up an online presence the ability to do so without any hassle. You really do get a lot of bang for you buck, with unlimited hosting, unlimited disk space and features galore! It really astounds us that hosts are able to offer so much for so little.

Support 84%

Fatcow technical support is available 24 hours a day via toll-free number, live chat and email. There technical support is generally very good, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. However on a few occasions we have been left waiting for answers to some of our more technical questions. But they do eventually come back with something meaningful. But don't worry, you wont be waiting for the cows to come home whilst your website is down and out!

Performance 79%

Our test website has performed relatively well, considering the harsh tests that we have put it up against. Page loading times were very nippy, and preformed very satisfactory.

Software 94%

H-sphere is used as Fatcow's choice of control panel. It is extremely comprehensive and allows you to basically administer any port of your website and hosting plan, however it's not as intuitive as cPanel and vDesk which we thing are easier to use. H-sphere performed very well on Fatcow, making those tedious tasks a pleasure to use, there was no lagging at all with the control panel.
