Price Value
In a word - excellent, especially for small businesses and small websites. HostMonster web hosting includes free domain name, site promotion, e-Commerce shopping cart scripts, and a SiteBuilder with templates.

Hostmonster's singular plan allows you to host unlimited domains, including international ones, with unlimited email support, forwarding email accounts, autoresponders, add-on domains, parked domains, subdomains, additional FTP accounts: unlimited - all accounts. You get complete email and e-commerce functionality as well as support for all the most common forms of online multimedia – Flash, Shockwave, Real Networks, streaming audio/video, etc.

Reliability
Host Monster stands behind their service with a 99% uptime guarantee. All accounts come with an OC-48 backbone connection and customized Apache web server and high-performance Quad Opteron servers with UPS power backups, mirrored storage backups, and a backup generator. The datacenter where your hardware is stored is monitored by a professional security staff 24/7.
Control Panel
HostMonster users benefit from the time-tested and approved cPanel control panel. This icon-based interface is so simple to use, the learning curve is practically a straight line. The functions are intuitively categorized into: Account & Domain Management, Mail Management, Site Menu functions (for site publishing functions, ie. FTP), and Advanced Menu functions (like Backups, Cron jobs, databases, FrontPage, and SSL). Then there are the convenient cPanel Wizards (like PageWizard and Shopping Cart Gurus) and assistants (like Search Engine Submit).

Your personal cPanel notes, ToolTips, StartUp Tips and other settings are all stored on a separate MyCpanel page. From here you also read your incoming emails and have the option to publish your traffic stats on your website for all to see.
Customer Support
You'll find nothing but the most courteous and professional customer support, available anytime through a number of venues, not the least of which is department-specific toll-free telephone. There's also a complete self-service center with a searchable knowledgebase and an email query ticket system.
