Multiple Data Center = Faster
WebHostingHub has 2 datacenters, one in Washington DC and the other in Los Angeles CA. When you open an account with them, your site will be automatically routed to the one closer to your location, which makes WebHostingHub faster than most web hosts who have only one data center.
All-in-One Web Hosting Solution
WebHostinghub offer rich features to help their customer setup a web site easily. Their package include one free domain, and support for php, Python, perl, MySQL, .htaccess override, free shared SSL and more. They also allow one account to host unlimited domain, consume unlimited disk space and bandwidth, create FTP account, email account as much as they want.

90 Days FULL money Back and Any Time Money Back Guarantee
We really love a web host who allow for “Anytime Money Back”. And what make WebHostingHub impressive is their guarantee on 90 days FULL money back, this is longest one you could see in the industry. And unlike some web hosts who promote “Anytime Money Back” term, but when you cancel the account, you will be deducted with so call setup fee, etc. For WebHostingHub, you won’t see this happen, they don’t have any hidden cost.
I believe “90 days Full money back” and “No hidden cost Any time money back” guarantee will make people extremely comfortable when signing up their service.
24*7, 100% US based technical support
WebHostingHub is a company who take customer service extremely serious. They only hire technical support with 4+ years experience, and all the seniors engineers need to 10+ years experience in the relevant fields. According the customer feedback we have collected for WebHostingHub, 93% of their customers would recommend WebHostingHub to their friends, this is really a great data every web host want to get.
cPanel is a Plus
Managing a web site is a painful task, especially for those web technology newbies, but with cPanel, everything become simple. This icon-based control panel could help everyone managing the files, email, ftp account, installing blog in no time.
WebHostingHub Uptime Review
WebHostingHub guarantee 99.9% uptime, and for the site we have hosted on them, we haven’t see any downtime so far. And in below, you could see their daily uptime report in the past 30 days:
What WebHostingHub doesn’t Offer
WebHostingHub don’t support Ruby on Rail and PostgreSQL Databases, those 2 are not very popular technology when building a small site. We would treat it as a minor “feature defect” from Webhostinghub. But in case you do need them, you should look at some other web hosts who offering these features.
Another one is about Shell Access. WebHostingHub don’t allow shell access. I have contacted WebHostingHub for why this is not offered , and the answer is more about security concerns. As for my experience on managing sites on a shared hosting, it really rarely that I need a this feature. But I do see many people appreciate this feature, so if you fell it is a must, then go for others. But just for you, most of web host don’t allow shell access on shared hosting solution, so in this case, I would suggest Bluehost or Hostgator.
When to Consider WebHostingHub
Webhostinghub is designed for blogger, individuals, small business, and web developers. Although you could find many so call “unlimited” features from them, as a natural of shared hosting, they do set a limitation on cpu usage. So, it’s not a good option for eCommerce site or high traffic web site.
Here is what we recommend WebHostingHub for:
- WordPress Blog with a Daily Page view lower than 600 per day, which is normally true for most of blogger beginner, or a blog with an Alexa ranking lower than 100000
- Drupal or Joomla site. What make WebHostingHub great for these 2 application is that they allow you to set a max memory at 512MB, which will be good enough for you to build a complex site with higher needs on memory.
- Small Business site which is used to show the service, introduction, or contact method of a company
- Family web site
- Feature testing for a site before a formal launching.
