Uptime & Reliability

100% uptime guarantee for all hosting

The MyHosting website offers you a 100% uptime guarantee, which is quite generious.  In the event that your site goes down due to issues on their end, they will give you a free day’s worth of credit for each hour your site is down.  This is a better guarantee than most other hosting providers are willing to offer.

Interestingly, their network status page states that they only guarantee 99.9% uptime, so this is somewhat confusing.  From what I can tell, the 100% uptime is just for getting free credit, but the 99.9% is more accurate to what you can expect. Either way, the hosting they provide is quite stable and most people won’t run into any real issues in this area.

Their data centers are on the high end, though they don’t own them.  They use two separate third party facilities to house all their servers.  The data centers are located in Toronto and New York, and offer high end security, redundant power, redundant network connections, and advanced fire suppression systems as well.

Features

Lots of Excellent Features

As you browse through their site you will see that they have a lot of nice features to offer.  They provide all the typical hosting options you’ll need including generous disk space and bandwidth for just about any type of site.  They also have spam fighting and anti-virus features that will help keep your server running smoothly.

You can choose from Linux, Apache, MySQL and/or PHP for your platform and they even have a number of different versions of each to ensure you get what you want.  Their servers use the CLoudFlare system for additional speed and they even have a nice eCommerce system available for those who need it.

The bottom line with this is they really have a lot of features.  Many of them won’t be used by most customers, but the fact that they are available is quite nice.  This will give you the option to grow and expand if you should feel the need in the future.

Support

Great support for all types of technical issues

MyHosting support is staffed 24/7/365 and available to help with just about any type of hosting issues that you’re facing.  They can be contacted through their ticketing system, live chat, email or phone with no extra charge.

They have a great FAQ, community discussion area and blog that all provide you with a lot of valuable information regarding web hosting, which can be extremely useful for anyone who wants to manage their own site better.

Pricing

Fair pricing for good hosting

The pricing of these plans is all going to be in line with what other companies might charge for similar packages.  For most of the options, however, you will actually be getting more features and better services than are available at many other companies so the pricing is really quite a good deal.  There are some upgrades that you can buy, but those will cost you more each month.  The biggest of these is the Plesk control panel, which many people will want because they may already be familiar with it.

The hosting comes with a 30-day money back guarantee if you pay annually.  They just ask you to send them an email with why you are unhappy with the services so they can attempt to improve for the future.
