Rated Number 5

FatCow was founded by people with the goal of keeping things simple.  This does not mean limited however as they have as many services as the big guys, It simply means that they tried to make everything as easy to use as they could.  They are surrently having a sale at $5.50 per month.  With that you get a free domain, and storage.  They also allow for unlimited domain names and email accounts.

FatCow has a number of site tools to help you get started and make your site visible to the world.  They include a website builder as well as integrated Google webmaster tools.  Once you have made the site there are also some marketing tools to get your site out there.  Included with your hosting package is $50 credit to Google Adwords and $25 to Yahoo!

For people looking to start a business FatCow offers unlimited POP mailboxes with a web client and a free 60 trail to Constant Contact.  Also offered is ShopSite online store which allows you to accept credit cards.  They also allow to Paypal shopping Cart Integration, PowerPay.  Finally your have access to shared SSL for a secure website.

As I said before just because FatCow is simple does not mean that they are lacking in features.  They have PHP 5 support, CGI directory, unlimited MySQL databases, Python, and access to a script library allowing for huge flexibility in creating your web site.  They also have numerous applications including WordPress,Gallery2, phpBB and many more.  Also included with purchase is a free 1 year subscription to Carbonite Online Backup.

FatCow’s goal was to make things simple and there is no better way to make things less complicated than with excellent customer support.  They have 24x7 tech support by phone, email and live chat.  With step by step tutorials on how to get your site started.  Beyond that they have the HeiferCratic oath which is there mantra which pledges that they will call you within 7 days of purchase to welcome you and see how things are going.  They also promise to offer your call within 2 minutes on average of calling.  When you call they promise to solvethe issue then or give you a frim deadline as to when the issue will be solve.  There is also so much more, and the greatest part is what sets them apart which is that if they fail to live up to this goal they will give you a month free.

Just a side not but they have recently changed to 100% wind power so they are one of the greener hosting companies put there.
