If you have doubts between Godaddy and Hostmonster

Rating 9 out of 10

Recommends: Yes

Pros: nice support; Nice Control Panel (CPanel); and huge disk space.

Cons: they limit the number of emails sent every they to avoid spam

I have moved from Godaddy to hostmonster recently and I have to say that Hostmonster is better compared to Godaddy - I have not experience from other hosting companies as I hosted my site with Godaddy for a long time and now I'm amazed technically for using Hostmonster. The problem about Godaddy (that made me move to hostmonster) is that they have a huge marketed name to protect. So they are very restrictive, this is not the case of hostmonster. I had a problem with Godaddy that a spyware inserted malicious code PHP using my ftp connection to my site (ok its my fault) after someone complained about it, Godaddy shut down my site immediately without telling me what was going on - I only put my site back on air after I showed them that there was a lot of their customers using the same code without any bad intention. Another pont is that my old host has a customized version of Plesk control panel and hostmonster runs the last CPanel version what is a plus (those who knows both CPs knows what I'm talking about). Godaddy disk space was very small, now hostmonster provide me a huge disk space that if you stop to think about it, you will see that it is virtually unlimited - this gives you the advantage that is something out of the things list that you need to concern. The only issue I had with hostmonster is that I had a over CPU usage due to a bug on my code that I didn't know, they immediately contacted me telling about a overload CPU usage by my site and offered to help to solve the problem, but didn't shut down my site or made pressure/ threats about the issue (probably due they do not have a dedicated server plan to force me to move to it) - I just solved the bug and now everything is fine. I noticed a lot of bad reviews about hostmonster here -but you always will find some people that are not satisfied with the provider and shut around there.
