One.com web hosting review
I have recently reviewed 2 of my favourite domain and web hosting services One.com and Godaddy. Choosing the home for your website is very important and some of you asked me if I can elaborate and review One.com in more detail.
One.com is a top rated hosting provider and so far they have proved this by giving me fast bandwith, reliable storage for the files I need in order to run multiple successful websites.
A few cons and pros of hosting with One.com
Pros:
- fast connections and unlimited data traffic
- unlimited email addresses with your domain
- very easy to use control panel, nice representation of all the dashboard functionality you need to manage your one.com web space and domains
- they recently introduced “Multiadmin” which makes your life easier if you host multiple websites with them. You can pay invoices and keep ownership details up to date all in one place (no need to login seperately for each domain)
Cons:
- 1-2 times a year I encountered some database server downtime problems returning a “500 Internal server” when trying to reach my website. This was resolved in a matter of a few hours after contacting chat support and my site was back online.
- a few months ago they have changed the way you register domains with them: you need to sign and scan a printed document that you are emailed upon subscription. This makes it a little bit more difficult to do business with them – but no big issue however I think domain purchase should be a fully online process.
- no private .com, .net, .org etc. registration option - WHOIS privacy not available (need to use 3rd party service)
- you cannot register only a domain at one.com as they only offer web hosting + domain packages. The prices are very low though that makes choosing One.com worthwhile.
All in all One.com web space and domain hosting is a great choice. I mainly recommend their smallest 3GB storage + 1 domain package to my freelance clients: these are companies who need to maintain a small corporate website. However I am hosting a large online magazine using their services as well – so one.com hosting service is robust enough for various projects and their prices are very affordable.
