Fatcow - Web Hosting Review & Tutorial

However, there are issues, including:

• Many extra fees for additional services
• No free site migrations, despite this being offered as standard elsewhere
• Lacks cPanel (vDeck), complicating the backend dashboard experience
• Not truly ‘unlimited’: rather ideal for smaller sites & excessive upselling promos
• No Longer Green & moderate renewal rates even with long term price plans
• Average performance: not too slow but neither fast either!
• Poor support & resource material section: lackluster content
• Solely Linux based operating ecosystem & no SSD storage (which is unusual)
• Backups are unreliable for restoration

Once again, FatCow fails to impress or deliver overall, namely due to being quite literally underdeveloped in terms of infrastructure. This proves to be an unwanted outlier, especially with expensive plans which are simply unwarranted for what they offer. Verdict: not at all recommended – period!

Disappointing experience

I recently signed up for FatCow hosting, and I'm very disappointed. The customer service is terrible, and the uptime is unreliable. I have had multiple websites go down for hours at a time, and I have no recourse. Avoid this service!

Excellent Hosting Service

I recently switched to FatCow for hosting my website and I'm so glad I did. Their customer service is top-notch and they have always been very helpful. The pricing is also very reasonable. They have a lot of features that I didn't even know I needed but am now very glad to have, such as automatic backups and malware scanning. The uptime is also great and I've never had any issues with my website being down. I am very happy with FatCow and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable hosting service.
