Apollo Hosting Review

Apollo Hosting has been in business since 1999. Apollo web hosting is a privately owned company with over 30,000 customers worldwide and a proven track record.

Apollo Hosting was one of the first web hosting providers to offer 24/7/365 live technical support chat and toll-free phone support, a feature they keep to this day. Their Total Solutions Hosting is a well-rounded program that will help you build, host, sell and market your site. In short, they offer you all the tools you need to create a powerful presence on the Internet. And Apollo Hosting promises to set up all shared hosting plans within 10 minutes.

Another Apollo Hosting highlight is its e-commerce package. This includes Miva Merchant software, Bronze Miva Support, free merchant account setup through Ecommerce Exchange, automated secure Certificate Installation and SSL secure server.

Price Value

At $9.97 per month ($6.97 if you sign on for two years), Apollo Hosting’s plan is decent compared to its counterparts in the industry. Besides offering all the basic features expected from a web host and free, speedy setup, Apollo web hosting offers several value-added features, including 20 websites per basic account, advanced SPAM virus filtering by Postini, SpamGuard, Get Traffic Toolbox, and free sticky web content. Mind you, most good web hosts now offer similar features.

Reliability

Apollo Hosting has high-speed connections and reliable servers at discounted prices that are custom built and designed for a 24/7 web serving environment. They also offer a 30-day money back no risk guarantee and free technical support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Apollo web hosting’s strong reputation is built on their 99.9% uptime rate, highly maintained equipment and featured-packed plans.

Control Panel

Depending on the plan you choose, Apollo Hosting utilizes three different but similar control panels: the virtual control panel, HSP control panel and Plesk Control panel. We have had good feedback in terms of the ease-of-use of these control panels, as well as the support offered for the many features Apollo Hosting provides.

Customer Support

Apollo web hosting provides very good customer support for web hosting. Support is easy to access through several methods, including live chat. Unlike many web hosting companies today, Apollo Hosting actually provides toll free support, although the customer relation team’s performance falls below other top notch web hosting companies and could use some additional training.

Around-the-clock service is provided, which is a bonus.
