Editor's Comments About MyHosting Price Value

MyHosting offers a very competitive price for their web hosting. Currently, you can get unlimited hosting for under $5 a month and you have the ability to upgrade your web hosting plan should your site need additional resources later on. We love we hosts that can offer an upgrade path from shared all the way to dedicated servers and MyHosting is one of them!

MyHosting includes a free domain with every web hosting account purchased and they allow you to prepay up to three years in advance to save even more than the price they list on their home page.

Editor's Comments About MyHosting Reliability

MyHosting offers a unbelievable 100% uptime guarantee that provides you with a full day credit for every hour their web hosting service is down. The MyHosting SLA guarantees 100% server uptime as well as 100% network uptime. Since most hosts only offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee, the MyHosting 100% uptime guarantee puts them above the competition in this regard.

MyHosting hosts their web servers in the Equinix data center in Toronto, Canada. This data center provides world class fiber optic networking that provides superior web site performance and reliability. Their data center is also fully-redundant and secured.

MyHosting deploys and maintains the latest in web server technology. All web sites are hosted on Dell web servers running Dual Quad Core Processors with 16 GB RAM and the backend with NetApp Storage arrays. Speed, reliability and performance define the MyHosting web server technology.
