The Good
- Pricing – FatCow currently offers two webhosting plans, the popular Original FatCow Plan and the MiniMoo Plan. Slashed in half and now at only $44, the original FatCow plan has become a one stop plan designed to meet the needs of a professional building a website for a medium sized company to a starter who wants to carve a piece of internet real estate for themselves.
- Features – With many businesses calling the internet as their home and many more advertising their services thru the use of marketing websites, getting a webhosting provider which gives you powerful marketing tools is not an option but a requirement. FatCow offers its clients powerful marketing tools including a $50 Google Adwords credit. Another $50 bonus is available for social network advertising. Site building tools makes building your website from the ground up a breeze. A mix of web builder tools aids in creating professional and eye catching websites even for beginners. This makes adding presentations and photos to your website easy without the need for subscribing to additional web building tools.
- Reliability – The Company’s webhosting servers are connected via multiple providers. FatCow connects thru GTE, GlobalCenter and Qwest ensuring a steady connection even when one of its providers failed.
The Bad
Poor customer service seems to be FatCow’s chink in its armor. A few calls to its customer hotlines ended in frustration as I spent almost 20 minutes trying to contact one of their representatives. Winning the trust of your customer doesn’t end after both parties agree on a contract but continues long after the ink has dried up.
Analysis
FatCow offers one of the best webhosting services for small and medium sized business looking for a robust and cost effective webhosting solution. Beginners without prior experience in website building will be glad to know that FatCow’s control panel makes it easy to build their own website from the ground up. However, much is to be desired in terms of their customer support services. In my opinion, this has pulled them a few points down. Unless this problem is resolved; it is bound to lose even some loyal customers.
