Current Rating of HostMonster
HostMonster Review Update & Plan Change.
Since I started using HostMonster over three years ago I have simply had the best service one could ask for.
I haven't had any downtime like I had at my previous website hosting companies.
When HostMonster suddenly increased their disk space and bandwidth I was pleasantly surprised.
They increased it to a whopping 1,500GB of disk space and 15,000Gb Bandwidth. Previously they had been offering 300GB disk space and 3000GB of bandwidth.
You can read a little bit more about Web Host Bandwidth / Data Transfers here.
I don't know many people that would out grow that amount of disk space and bandwidth anytime soon. In fact I would say 99% of websites would never use that much bandwidth or disk space.
Shopping Carts
A lot of people these days are in need of a shopping cart, thankfully HostMonster provides a variety of solutions. Personally I have always used OS commerce and I know the program back to front. I find the community exceptionally helpful and the application itself amazing.
I have written an article on HostMonster and Oscommerce here.
Another shopping cart solution that HostMonster offers is Agora Shopping Cart. This is another powerful open source shopping cart solution that I think will please a lot of people.
Again I have written a page about HostMonster and Agora Shopping Cart here

Response from HostMonster
Hostmonster is proud of the high quality offering that we provide for our clients. Service is always priority #1 and it shows! Listed below are a few of the accolades that HostMonster has aquired over our time in the hosting industry.
Our review of HostMonster
HostMonster is the number 1 website hosting company on the planet.They have been around since 1996, that's 12 years of great service and a proven track record.
They are well know for helping businesses and individuals alike get fantastic websites at an extremely great price.
They lead the hosting industry with an amazing array of features. Including massive amount of disk space. Crazy amount of traffic every month and the ability to have as many domains as you want.
Their customer service is second to none.
HostMonster also gives a free $50 google credit and a free $50 yahoo credit.
I have yet to meet someone who is disappointed with HostMonster
The HostMonster hosting solution is both extremely powerful and satisfyingly reliable. Both businesses and individuals alkie choose to use HostMonster based on their reputation as a market leader. The equipment they use is the best in the business and with the uptime guarantee you know you are in good hands.
The servers they use are High Performance Xeon Servers, these servers are monitored 24/7.
I have tested HostMonster on many occasions and use them for a lot of my own websites. I haven't experienced down time to date.
With HostMonster you will never feel like you are paying too much, it's simply the best hosting plan on the planet. People from all over the world rave about how good HostMonster 's hosting is. They simply blow the competition out of the water.
With the ability to Host UNLIMITED Domains combined with massive data allowance. Backed up by all the great features you know HostMonster offers the best web hosting plan in the industry
Other fantastic features are free domain name, free setup, unlimited e-mail accounts, 100 MySQL databases as well as an amazing free $50 google credit and a free $50 yahoo credit
They also offer Shopping carts, message boards and SSL security.
HostMonster uses CPanel, which is the best control panel. I have used other systems and am always glad to see the back of them. You can access your website statistics, manage your email accounts. Set up automated scripts with Cron jobs, Website security, install software at the click of a button and basically be in total control.
You will also find in your control panel Fantastico - Fantastico is a simply way of setting up scripts.
Customer service is the best bar none. I have yet to come across a customer support systme superior to HostMonster . They have 24/7 live phone support, 24/7 email tech support and live chat. Combined with the online ticket system you will never be left high and dry. They are professional and always helpful.
I rate HostMonster as the # 1 web host after years of reviewing and testing their features and customer service. There is nothing you will be left wanting for when you join HostMonster
HostMonster also offers a free web site builder.

Hostmonster Support For Custom PHP.INI Files
HostMonster support custom PHP.INI files.
What is that exactly?
PHP is the scripting language that HostMonster support to write your cool liitle web applications with. Its the only language I have ever learnt and I think it is the best.
It apparently stands for Pretty Good Homepage.
HostMonster has version 5 of PHP running on their servers
PHP.ini allows you to customize a PHP ini file to change some of the settings of PHP. A php.ini file allows you to customize settings like global variables, default directory to upload files and the allowed size for uploaded files.
When PHP starts up, it behaves according to settings specified in the availabe php.ini file. The Web server will look for this file in the following locations and in the following order:
The directory from which the PHP script was called
The root of your Web directory (typically public_html)
The Web server's default php.ini
Life would be pretty difficult without this feature and you really need a webshost that allows you to. HostMonster does and the way they allow you to control your site is very important.
Overview of Select PHP SettingsOverviewed settings:
register_globals
upload_tmp_dir
session.save_path
display_errors and display_startup_errors
log_errors and error_log
I recently needed to increase the memory_limit, upload_max_filesize and post_max_size values to something higher than set by HostMonster 's default php.ini file.
You see HostMonster works with you. They set limits on accounts but allow you to override them if you wish . A lot of Website hosting companies don't do this.
Get and modify your custom php.ini file. It's probably best to use a php.ini file that is like the one you are already running on your server. You can probably find one at /usr/local/lib/php.ini or /usr/local/etc/php.ini and just copy it into your account's web folder (it may be called "public_html" or "www" or "htdocs" -- you know the one).
