Porkbun vs. Web Hosting Hub

Anyone who generally needs to register domains or who would like to have free email forwarding for their domains, especially thoughts working on a budget considering how inexpensive Porkbun is compared to other registars.

If you are a small business, freelancer, or any other type of user that doesn't need a lot of resources and get less than 10,000 hits per month, this is a great hosting environment for you. If you need more resources, I would recommend something else such as their sister company InMotion Hosting.

• Easy setup - i can easily add domains, sub-domains, add-ons, as well as set up a WordPress installation in a matter of minutes.
• Low cost - if you want to keep costs down, the plans are very cost effective with shared hosting for as little as $5 a month (there is a catch, that you have to sign up for a certain amount of time, but it's still worth it).
• User-friendly UI via Cpanel - no surprises here, it's just a Cpanel that you're familiar with and works.
• Excellent customer service and tech support available 24/7.

• Sites can be slow if you're on a shared server environment as they may be crowded servers.
• Sometimes tech support doesn't know how to solve the problem - but I've only experienced this with one issue and that is site speed. likely the best solution is to upgrade to better hosting.

If there's a fix for the problem I'm having, they typically find it and help me implement it. In addition to that, they are available 24/7 to help so I know that they've got my back if I run into any problems whatsoever. Sometimes, wait times can be a little bit long, but honestly, the longest I've waiting was maybe 15 mins, so it's not too bad. Usually, I get through to them within 2-5 mins of calling.

Simply put, Porkbun doesn't try to overcharge you. You are paying a near-bare minimum cost for each domain while still getting great support, and unlike a lot of other registrars, you aren't being upsold something due to the lower costs. You just receive a good service.

Web Hosting Hub is my preferred go-to when selecting hosting for a small business or freelance operation and it is also one of the lowest cost solutions that I have seen. This paired with their really excellent and always-available tech support (which I have called on holidays, weekends, and in the middle of the night) makes them a great option in my book.

In addition, they give you all the tools and access you need to manage your site no matter what you're trying to do. cPanel is a familiar environment and I have not noticed any bugs while logged in.

• Lowered our yearly costs for domains
• Avoided dealing with costly domain name sharks
• Avoided extra email hosting costs for simple tasks like email forwarding

• Hosting is a functional thing - i need to have it in order to run my business and make money. ROI has been tremendous by that calculation.
