FatCow=FatValue
I currently use FatCow to host my personal website and blog. I've most recently used it to host my student portfolio for my Master's degree. Previously, I used it to host the site for my instructional design consultant business. It allows me to demonstrate projects that I've developed, find me on social media, and contact me.
- Web apps: FatCow's platform does an amazing job when it comes to adding web applications such as WordPress, Zencart, Joomla, etc. You can add these applications with a single click
- Extensive knowledge base: I've never had to contact their tech support because of the extensive documentation
- Simple pricing: I was first attracted to FatCow because there weren't service tools. Unlimited disk space and virtually unlimited bandwidth simplifies the pricing package.
- I do not see it currently advertised on their site, but when I first became a customer, their servers were powered completely by wind power. Environmentally friendly.
- I was very disappointed with my initial renewal. I understood that the price I had paid was an introductory price, but the renewal rate was much higher than I anticipated. They could be more transparent with their renewals.
- Integration of Google Analytics made it simple to see where traffic comes from.
- Ease of use frees me up to focus on communicating ideas rather than fighting with software to make it work.
- Stability makes it perfect to showcase my work.
I previously used GoDaddy, and I was very unimpressed with their various pricing tiers. I wanted something with a simpler pricing model. GoDaddy was particularly annoying when luring you in with low prices but bombarding you with add-ons during the checkout process. To be fair, I haven't used GoDaddy in several years, so I do not know if this is still a business practice. But, it was enough to turn me off, and the simplicity of FatCow has kept me as a customer ever since.

Best Web Hosting Service for You!
I use FatCow to host my portfolio website and domain names. It addressed the problem of finding a good web-hosting service that fit my needs. I wanted to use a service that cares about the customer and has a lot of options. I am able to use FatCow with WordPress or any other web design service, or hard-code it on my own. The page manager is very flexible and the rates are reasonable.
- Flexibility of how you want to use it (WordPress, HTML coding, Wix, etc)
- Unlimited storage for all your website needs
- Reasonable rates as compared to other hosting services
- The dashboard design could be improved design-wise as it can get a bit confusing if you get lost navigating
- I wish security/more support was included in the price I pay for hosting rather than an added fee
- I don't use FatCow for profit, just a place to display my work. It's a personal investment in myself that I can't really track.
Before choosing FatCow, I looked into a few services. As this was 9 years ago, the options weren't as diverse as they are now. GoDaddy was the most popular at the time, but the rates were significantly higher for a smaller package, and they had a pretty sexist ad campaign at the time that really turned me off of their services. Since choosing FatCow, I have looked into using WP Engine as I do my website in WordPress, but it wasn't worth it to move it over at the time and I elected to stick with what I had.
