Host Color - "Web Hosting About People, Not About Gigabytes"
The sentence above is Host Color’s message and it is just the first thing, that distinguish this web host from all others I’ve ever seen. If you want your hosting company to be different from others you need Host Color. You have to visit this web host even to get some ideas how to organize a web business. Most hosting companies around place on their front page one the following 3 things: a computer (server), a cheery girl or just a cheeky offering which usually says "You get 750 GB space and 7500 GB bandwidth". If you expect your host to look like this, just forget about Host Color.
This company does web hosting a very different way. It offers a wide range of Quality Web Hosting plans priced from $2.99 per to $11.99 per month. The main shared plans are Blogan (Blog hosting), Content (CMS hosting), Social Web (Social networking plan), Web Mall (E-Commerce hosting service) and Multi Site (Multi Domain hosting service for up to 30 small websites). Besides them you can use between other 24 hosting service plans. Each of them features different software application - from WordPress and b2Evolution Hosting plans, through MODx, Drupal and Joomla hosting services, to Social and SSL hosting plans.
Host Color also offers VPS Hosting plans powered by Virtuozzo, a leading virtualization solution. VPS plans cost from $19.95 (192 MB RAM, 10 GB HDD, 50 GB data transfer) to $69.95 for very powerful Virtual Private Server with 1024 MB RAM, 50 GG disc space and 350 GB data transfer. Anyone who needs to use fully Managed VPS can purchase it for low cost monthly flat fee of $49.95.
The company also offers Dedicated Hosting starts at $99 per month. These commercial information however is far less important than a few other things about Host Color. Besides my current host which is the Top Hosting Center, Host Color possess the following qualities:
- This is the only hosting company I’ve seen to show their senior management to customers. You can see who runs Host color on its "Team" page.
- This is the only web host that express its business principles and says "NO" to overselling on its website (Check their "About Us" and "Philosophy" sections)
- This is the web hosting company that has implemented the probably the best customer service approach I’ve seen - to build an Online customer center (Host Color named it "pZone") to enable customers to manage their accounts and to communicate with its customer care specialists. This approach to customer service means that the web host id focused not just to sell, but to provide a high level customer care.
There are a few other things that make Host Color very open hosting company. It updates its new section and blog very often and launches promotional campaigns.
