Better if you can find “hostmonster demo” website that is run by hostmonster user. If this is what you searched for, you came to the right place for hostmonster demo website. I run this personal blog, and used it to give the most comprehensive hostmonster review ever.

Web hosting plan with unlimited domain hosting are getting more common. Is this mean that you can host thousands of unique websites in this single hosting plan? Find out the fast and limitation behind the unlimited domain hosting.

When we look through hosting plan package, it will be very attractive. Offering features like unlimited domain hosting, unlimited subdomain, unlimited parked domain etc. And some hosting even offering unlimited storage space and unlimited bandwidth. But our discussion this time will focus on the unlimited domain and its current fact.

After you sign up to a unlimited domain hosting, and when you login to cpanel, you will find out that the statistic on the left hand side will shows 999 addon domains. Plus your primary domain, you are given 1000 domains to be exact.

Its in fact not unlimited, but is limited to 1000 domain name. And each time you adding a new domain name, you will have total less one… 998, 997, 996 and so on. The term unlimited is not so true, and there is limits to this. The same 1000 limit caps apply to unlimited subdomain and unlimited parked domain as well.

Since you can host 1000 domain/website in single shared hosting account, but should you do it? Definitely not adviced to. If you are hosted more than 20-30 websites, your sites are start to slowing down, and might already use up lots of server resource. Soon later you will hit the usage limits and receive warning from the hosting provider.

For static page with no database at the backend, certainly you can have lots of sites running. But for website like wordpress blog, its adviced to keep them below 10 websites per shared hosting account. And not to link them together, search engine like google don’t link links within same IP address.

Hostmonster hosting plan come with 99.9% uptime guarantee. Are they really offering that? Are they really doing it? Your answer will be better answered in this new column of “hostmonster uptime“. I started this new column, and subscribe to premium server uptime monitoring services to 24/7 monitoring this hostmonster hosted website. Each month, uptime report will be posted up and will comment on good or bad about hostmonster uptime. The column will include the monthly speed test as well. Hopefully, this will become the most comprehensive host monster uptime reports online.

For the month of july 2007, when i first started with the serviceuptime.com server uptime monitoring services. I start to realised the important to be alert on server downtime, so that i can in the first time contact hostmonster support and get it fixed. Whole month of waiting, there is no downtime alert email yet. Whats going on? i checked on the report today, and realised that this hostmonster hosted website is having 100% uptime! No downtime at all. Thus, there is no downtime notification sent to my email. Haaaa!! Haaa!!

Here is the hostmonster uptime report for July. And i using 30 minutes check interval. There is 175 checking made, and all are successfull. Meaning the hostmonsterreview.org is available and is online. With server response time of 0.6 seconds in average. That is fast!!

I previous posting, i review about hostmonster fastcgi feature where you can enable or disable it from cpanel very easily. Now, with hostmonster new cpanel version 11, you have more control over the fastcgi. As its upgraded, and added the dynamic cache control/configuration. You want optimized website performance, you got it!

The hostmonster fastcgi added features are:

• Enable hostmonster dynamic cache
• Enable super cache
• Enable browser refresh override
• Set TTL (time-to-live)

Either your website is receiving high number or hits or much more resource intensive. You can use this dynamic cache configuration to achieve the best performance and result in fastest website loading. The choice is at your total control.

Yesterday i stop at hostmonster homepage and see they put up a title that they having 170,000 domains hosted. And today i revisited thier official site and want to confirm the figure for my writing in this hostmonster review blog. I seen that the figure is now 175,000 domain hosted.

About two months back, host monster is having about 130,000 domains hosted. And now its growing to 175k. Which is an impressive growth rate. Furthermore the hosting features had been slightly upgraded or changed as well. August we also see the hostmonster cpanel upgrading to version 11. And with fastcgi and dynamic cache features. I will review more on this features in my upcoming blog posting.

Not only that, hostmonster forums are growing side-by-side. I quit active in their forums, and notice that there is increased number of active members and also increased forums activity and posting rate.

This dramatic growth, simply indicate that hostmonster hosting is getting popular and well accepted by customer. And so far, the customer feedback/response are very positive. Even myself is a hostmonster customer, and absolutely happy with their hosting services.

On early of month, Hostmonster support sent out email acknowledging user that their cpanel control panel will be upgraded on 8th August 2007. And today i login to my hostmonster account, and found out the new cpanel is already there. Very very nice and impressive look and feel.Apple green background, couple with good combination of graphics make the control panel look more attractive and comfortable with.

The previous hostmonster cpanel evolution x is look bad, if compare to this new cpanel theme.  The information or account information is much easier accessible. All require stat is display on the left column. And right column are all the account management tools. I still playing with the new interface, and at this time, i found out its very easy to navigate around. Also notice that this cpanel version 11 is much faster, when compare to the old cpanel evolution x version.

Glad they upgraded to the new cpanel, and much happy as i can share this with you are well

If you want to hide or protect your domain information from reachable by anyone that running the WHOIS check on your domain name, then you will need to activate the domain privacy. On sign up to hostmonster, 12 months or 24 months, the domain privacy is offered for free. And you can use this to protect your primary domain for free. If you buying more domains, you can order domain privacy as well. Simple as that.

Once domain privacy is activated, public user can’t see your contact information and who the domain belong to and registered under which email address. Thus, your privacy is protected. Your domain registrar information will be display instead.

This is what wikipedia said about domain privacy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_privacy
“Domain privacy is offered by several registrars such as Go Daddy, Network Solutions, eNom and so forth. A user buys privacy from the company, who in turn replaces the user’s info in the whois with the info of a proxy service such as Domains by Proxy or Whois Privacy Protection Service.”
