Having been in the industry for almost 10 years, 247-Host is said to be serving tens of thousands of websites. The company has a large number of loyal customers, and gains many awards due to excellent uptime and fast growing. Being Canada-based, 247-Host is now extending businesses mainly in the US.

247-Host has a generous set of hosting products including shared hosting, reseller hosting, managed VPS, unmanaged VPS, Linux dedicated servers and Windows dedicated servers. Therefore, the company can be a choice for starting a web hosting business or hosting all of personal blogs, small or large business sites, and all sizes of online stores.

As shared hosting has the largest user base, this review mainly focuses on this kind of service. According to our analysis on the pricing, feature, speed, reliability and technical support, the shared hosting from 247-Host is indeed taking an advantageous position in the industry.

The most award-winning part of 247-Host services is the affordable price. For the primary Basic plan, the hosting fee is only $2.99/mo, and for the unlimited Gold plan, the price is $6.99/mo. For people using the coupon code BHS30, all hosting fees can be further discounted 30%, which means the effective price is as low as $2.09/mo.

247-Host Speed Review 4.00 of 5

247-Host uses altogether 8 data centers to serve customers' needs, 6 in the US, 1 in Canada and another 1 in Europe (Amsterdam). When signing up, people can choose any one for free to transfer data to visitors in the fastest speed possible with the shortest path. Therefore, an optimized browsing experience is guaranteed.

In addition, to ensure high network capacity and consistency, 247-Host provides over 250Gbps transaction speed by partnering with 6 well-known Tier-1 bandwidth providers including AT&T, Global Crossing, Savvis and Level(3). According to our monitoring, the server response time of the company's shared hosting averages approximately 450ms in the past months.

247-Host Reliability Review 4.30 of 5

247-Host guarantees 99.99% hosting uptime and a minimum of 99.9% network uptime. Also, the company claims to credit customers' accounts with one-month hosting fee in the case that it fails to reach 99.9% uptime in a certain month. In the past years, 247-Host has kept a good fame in terms of reliability.

In the data centers, the company uses fully redundant power supply, 24x7 server and network monitoring and the latest hardware to deliver the best possible uptime. Besides, all servers are equipped with advanced firewalls and perform regular updates to protect user' data. Some other cutting-edge technologies like Cisco Guard XT are also applied to further enhance security and to ensure the optimal uptime.

247-Host Feature Review 4.00 of 5

247-Host has a total of 5 shared hosting plans using the names of Basic, Silver, Gold, Expert and Platinum, each of which has upgraded features compared with the lower-level plan. Basic, suitable for hosting 1 personal website, includes 5 GB disk space, 100 GB bandwidth and 50 MySQL databases. The 3 features limited in this plan all go unlimited in the other 4 plans.

Besides, there are some other differences between the plans. For instance, Expert and Platinum include SSH and SSD drives, which are not available for free in the other 3 plans. What's more, Platinum even comes with a free dedicated IP which charges $2/mo in other plans, and a free private SSL certificate which costs $30/year.

All of 247-Host shared hosting plans utilize cPanel as the control panel. Being the most widely used web hosting control panel, cPanel offers an intuitive interface for webmasters to manage files, domains, security, and all other aspects of their hosting accounts and websites. In addition, Softaculous script installer is integrated with cPanel, so that people can install more than 310 popular apps with ease, within seconds and without downloading or uploading.

Some other important features shared by all plans include:
  • Premium RVSiteBuilder which helps a lot in starting a new website.
  • Instant backups which increase website security by making a copy of website files and databases.
  • Attracta SEO tools which help in increasing website and page ranking in search results.
  • PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby on Rails, PHPMyAdmin, Zend Optimizer, ionCube Loader & Cron Job.

247-Host Technical Support Review 4.10 of 5

247-Host offers real-time instant support via phone and live chat. Those customers who are not in a hurry can also choose to submit a ticket or send an email to the support team and wait for a reply. We have tested live chat and email by ourselves and found that the responses were given much faster than we had expected – approximately 90 seconds for live chat and 5 hours for email.

Besides, the company has prepared a Help Desk which includes plenty of online resources. For instance, there are online demos, documents and videos related to cPanel, WHM, website builders, Plesk, and so on. A well-maintained knowledgebase and an FAQs section are also available. Another featured part is the Downloads which includes the downloadable files of some of the most-used tools like FileZilla, PuTTY and Google Toolbar.

    doesn't recommend web hosting

    I chose 247-Host after doing a lot research and saw it getting lots of good reviews. They obviously have no clue what they are doing. Server configuration is pathetic. Customer support is useless. Bandwidth is slow. Technical knowledge is non-existent. Uptime is not good. All I can say is, STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOST!

    247-host proved far Superior company than I though when I started with them - timely problem solution, through chat session or support ticket, good servers (speedy machines, with 100% up time), Cpanel with whatever I need is available and simple to use, good resource allocation (space and bandwidth),and icing on cake is low price. They make things look so easy, they are "real" people who know what customer service is all about. Thank you 247-host for making my life so much easier and for rescuing me in my times of need - I would highly recommend your services to anyone.

    247-host is a perfect example of a company with intuitive, smart, fast, easy and excellent value. Tech support is efficient, to the point and took a few extra steps to save me some hassle later. It’s a pleasant change for the ones accustomed to getting vague, time-consuming responses from other companies’ tech support staff. Their support staff usually gets me the information in the first few minutes without having to put me on hold and ask someone else. The staff really tries at every level to understand needs, rather than try to read a script at every turn. I recommend 247-Host to anyone looking for hosting option that is powerful and easy to use.

They provide support at the fastest and websites run blazing fast, I can assure based on my personal experience with them. Well to this good web hosting company. 5 Stars.

    The other hosters won't provide unlimited space, bandwidth, ftp accounts and sub domains as much as 247-host. As reseller I found that 247 are generous in their allocations and packages. They provide support at the fastest and are always trying to add new things in their features. Over all a well managed web hosting company.

    247-host does rock. I had critical require for a change of web hosts and discovered 247-host. The tech support team was awesome in aiding me get started although many of my problems were my insufficient knowing or impatience. I seem like I'm high on leading now and going through NO troubles. In the event it was essential for 247-host to go my site they were really reassuring along with the migration moved thoroughly. They help you stay informed about what is going on. There prices are competing reasonable. A possible problem I currently have is not any explanation to convey with them. I skip them somewhat.

    247-host have is top one of the top ten company in web hosting. I don't know how do they number these companies as one two or three. All I know is they no one asks customers, some people have some of their own reasons for earning etc, that they rate the companies as per money these companies pay those people as commission etc. Live things are different. This company is live, real and my #1 company only because I started with them with my first website and have stayed with them since. This says it all, no other appreciation is needed.
