Chose AccuWebHosting.Com - Windows Personal Hosting
Bluehost locked away settings and was very hard to configure or use, their custom plugins make it hard to move or restore backups.
GoDaddy gave me very bad support and can be bad about upcharges.
I like SiteGround and still use it for other projects. Nothing bad to say about them …
Chose AccuWebHosting.Com - Windows Personal Hosting
I have tried several options for web hosting since I've had the chance to handle very different projects. So far, I choose to stay with AccuWebHosting since it has been the one that gives me the right speed as well as the bandwidth I require. Other options required me to pay …
Chose AccuWebHosting.Com - Windows Personal Hosting
I choose Aaccu for the free service as this is an education site. If I was to create a site for a for profit company I would definitely consider Accu again.

Good for transferring over an existing site. Truth be told, I haven't used it for building a brand new site-- I know that this is a fairly common thing but I just never needed it. For what I've used it for, it has worked well. For a small business with anyone with a little bit of technical skill, it's surprisingly good.

AccuWebHosting.Com - Windows Personal Hosting is always responsive to questions and they have a great Knowledge Base that can be tapped for finding self-help! Their email setup could be a bit easier to follow but then that may be just my inexperience.

  • Website builder - their website builder is user friendly
  • Email hosting - easy to set up and use, wether in an email app or online email.
  • Wordpress hosting - I have multiple wordpress sites I use under one account
  • Their customer service is always very helpful and easy to contact.

  • We appreciate the security features on Accuwebhosting.com. This is because they were able to detect immediately, some potentially harmful files embedded into a free theme we once used for our website. Such vigilance has won them our confidence in the security aspect of their services.
  • We also use Accuwebhosting.com email services because we find it very reliable. Unlike some hosting services we've used before, Accuwebhosting.com has an excellent email service with their hosting services. Till date, we've never had cause to think that we've ever missed an email from our website contact forms or direct messages to our inbox from our clients and prospective clients.
  • We also think that the speed of the Accuwebhosting.com is one of the best we've seen and used. Our websites pass the basic speed tests on speed test services on the web.
  • We also find the customer service at Accuwebhosting.com simply amazing! We've never seen anything quite like it. We've always received prompt responses to our complaints and inquiries. This might be the most impressive attribute of Accuwebhosting.com

Cons
GoDaddy
  • Support agents are woefully undertrained, even in knowledge of their own products.
  • Support agents will always try to upsell you, even when you're dealing with an urgent, high-impact issue.
  • There's no guarantee of uptime, and there will often be gaps in service as part of normal procedures.

  • I guess their hosting service can be faster. Our websites load pretty quickly, especially after applying Accuwebhosting.com optimization tips, but we are not up to the highest speed yet. Again, it might be that we need to work more on our optimization.

We can't really choose anyone else and the cost/effort of moving all of the hosted data would be extremely large, and we just have to stick to them, and hope they improve service

Some integration could be much cleaner and smoother. Seems it used to be easier. Plus, they took away the catch all email feature.

The speed at which Accuweb processes information is high. I never had any issues surfing my websites neither do my site visitors. The website templates are very easy to use and well organized. I would recommend Accuweb to anyone who desires a professional website that is user-friendly. I host my dirt racing website on Accuweb and it runs flawlessly with no issues whatsoever. I have not had any downtime do to Accuwebs servers and highly recommend anyone looking for a good reliable webhost to give them a try.

Support Rating
GoDaddy
I think a lot of companies can learn from GoDaddy's support team. I have found:
  • Chat or phone support is almost always available.
  • Their agents are friendly and helpful.
  • Their agents seem to care and be knowledgeable about a wide range of issues.
  • I rarely have to escalate my problem to get the support that I need.
  • If they can't help me, then they can tell me why something is happening and direct me to resources that can fix my problem.

We use Wix currently for our online store. It is nice and easy to use, but they don't offer the email domains as well (the last time we checked). They have pretty decent customization of the web page, but still limited. We're going to try it with GoDaddy, since we have other services from them already. It just doesn't make sense to pay two different companies for something we can do with one.

I had to pay for Namecheap but accuwebhosting.com has been free for me. I will say the migration from the Namecheap site to accuwebhosting was not elegant, and I therefore I decided to rebuild the entire site from scratch. Both hosting sites worded fine for our purposes - our site is not very sophisticated so I don't think we stressed the hosting companies.

Return on Investment
GoDaddy
  • GoDaddy reduces our ROI by costing me in non-billable hours. I don't charge clients for sitting on the phone with tech support to power cycle the server or fix the php.ini file, so my $/hr takes a hit.
  • Their nickel&dime strategy requires I have an additional conversation with clients about their max recurring fees. Small as they are, I need approval for upping their bill. GoDaddy is only the cheap option if you don't value security, stability, or performance.

  • The speed of the servers works well for my clients since they usually expect a fast response from the websites they visit.
  • The value of AccuWebHosting.Com compared to other hosting solutions is clearly superior, allowing me to get the service I really need without paying more than I should.
