AN Hosting Web Host Review

I've been using AN Hosting for my web host for the last two months and I've been enjoying all of the features that come with the basic account (The Mega Plan) including the ability to have up to 10 domains on a single account. Each additional domain can be directed at your AN Hosting account without extra cost. You do of course have to buy the domain itself using a service such as GoDaddy.com (I always use Go Daddy myself)

AN Hosting is the fourth web host I've used so I have some experience with other services and for me it's been the best to date. I've never had any of the problems I had with previous hosts which although they would allow me additional domains made it an arduous task to add them and would also charge $10 per additional domain. Another web host I use only has 9 GB of transfer so I have had problems with running out of space and worrying about additional costs added to my bill or having my site go offline. I do not have to worry about these things with AN Hosting.

Hard Disk Space

35 GB of hard disk space is included with every account. This is almost sure to be enough for almost any type of website you could possibly want to run (save possibly really huge sites or sites which house a lot of video.)

Transfer/Bandwidth

750 GB of transfer means you don't have to run out of bandwidth like you do with other hosts.

Features

AN Hosting has many of the same features that most web host companies seem to be offering these days. Free Domain (for the life of your account.), Free Transfer, Free Shopping Cart, Free Blogs, and Free Message Boards. Free Website Builder. You also receive a free $105 ad credit to be used for Google AdWords and Yahoo Search Marketing. They also include some features that may set them apart from some of their competitors: Unlimited Subdomains. Unlimited Auto-Responders. Unlimited E-Mail Addresses.

Technical Information

PHP, Perl, Python, GCC, Ruby on Rails (RoR) are included with every account. PHP 4.x or PHP 5.x Supported. CGI Bin, CGI Library, Full .htaccess control, IP Banning, Custom Cron Jobs, MIME Types.

E-Commerce

OS Commerce Shopping Cart, Agora Shopping Cart, Cube Cart Shopping Cart, Zen Shopping Cart, Webalizer, Free Self-Signed SSL Certificates.

Price

Only $6.95/Month. Billed yearly that's $83.40. There are no hidden costs.

Guarantee

30 Day Money Back.

Recommendation

It's more expensive than Start Logic so if you're really looking to save money and are going to be using only one domain you may want to use them instead. But for people using more than one domain I recommend AN Hosting because Start Logic will charge you $10 for each additional domain you add in my experience. It's also a more difficult process to add additional domains with them.
