Ultra Web Hosting LogoUltra Web Hosting was founded in 2002.   Not to be confused with UltraHosting.com.  Ultra Web Hosting is in no way affiliated with them.  They are a Seattle, Washington-based host.  They are a “green” host.

In this Ultra Web Hosting review will look at their features.  Then, performance.  Next, uptime.  Then, customer support.  Finally, a summary.

Ultra Web Hosting Features

Shared Plans

  • Ultra 1X Hosting.  $2.95/month (3-year term).  $5.95/month (monthly billing).  Supports a single site.  Online site builder.  Free domain.  SSD hard drive.  cPanel.  Unlimited space and email.
  • Ultra Unlimited.  $5.95/month (3-year term).  $7.95/month (monthly billing).  Support unlimited sites.  Online site builder.  Free domain.  SSD hard drive.  cPanel.  Unlimited space and email.
  • Ultra Unlimited Pro.  $8.89/month (3-year term).  $12.95/month (monthly billing).  Support unlimited sites.  Online site builder.  Free domain.  SSD hard drive.  cPanel.  Unlimited space and email.

Ultra Web Hosting does use the whole “unlimited bandwidth” sales pitch.  Have not been a fan of this marketing pitch.  A lot of hosts like Hostgator, PowWeb, and GreenGeeks do this too.

There are limits to their shared plans.  They are as follows:

  • 200,000 inodes.
  • Using 25% of the CPU or RAM (for 90+ seconds).
  • Backups limited to 5 GB.

WordPress Plan

Ultra Web Hosting does have a WordPress plan.  These are not managed WordPress plans.  Cost $12.95/month.  Can try them out for free for a month.  Comes with the following features:

  • Support an unlimited number of sites.
  • Free domain.
  • Unlimited space and email accounts.
  • Free site transfer.
  • Content Delivery Network (CDN).
  • 1-Click WordPress installer.
  • ULTRASpeed caching.
  • Dedicated IP.
  • Free setup.

Reseller Plan

Ultra Web Hosting offers one reseller plan.  It cost $16.95/month.  On a 3-year term.  Otherwise, it cost $24.95/month.  Comes with the following features:

  • Supports unlimited sites.
  • cPanel Web Host Manager.
  • 50 GB disk space.
  • 2 TB bandwidth.
  • Vanity Nameservers.
  • 1-Click App Installer.
  • Trendy Site Builder.
  • Xcache Opcacher.
  • Nginx reverse proxy.
  • Free billing software.
  • CloudLinux and PHP.
  • Free Setup.

Free Plan

I do like hosts that offer free plans.  Helps you get a feel for their service.  Ultra Web Hosting does have free hosting.  Much like AwardSpace.  It does come with the following limitations:

  • Support single site.
  • 500 MB disk space.
  • 10 GB monthly transfer.
  • 1-Click App Installer.
  • CloudFlare.
  • cPanel.
  • Five eMail accounts.
  • Marketing package included.
  • Support by a community forum.
  • Easy upgrade.

Weebly Plan

Weebly is a partner with UltraWebhosting.com.  A favorite site builder. Geared towards newbie site owners.  Everything is “drag and drop.”  There are lots of templates.  You can get hosting and Weebly for $2.95/month (3-year term).  Does cost $5.95/month if you pay monthly.  Comes with these features:

  • Free domain.
  • Unlimited space and email.
  • Content delivery network support.
  • ULTRASpeed caching.
  • Free setup.

VPS & Dedicated Plans

  • Managed VPS Plan.  $49.95/month.  1 GB RAM.  25 GB disk space.  cPanel.  Unlimited sites.  $49.95 setup fee.
  • Ultra-Value Dedicated.  $99.95/month.  4 GB RAM.  1 TB disk space.  cPanel.  Unlimited sites.  $49.95 setup fee.
  • Ultra-Xeon Dedicated.  $222.95/month.  16 GB RAM.  1 TB disk space.  cPanel.  Unlimited sites.  $49.95 setup fee.

Lot of hosts do not have setup fees.  Ultra Web Hosting does have promos from time to time.  These promos will waive the setup fee.

Ultra Web Hosting Performance & Uptime

Performance

Ultra Web Hosting does use SSD hard drives.  These hard drives are much faster.  This hardware does not cost extra like lots of hosts charge.

My Ultra Web Hosting review would not be complete without showing you their performance stats.  Here is how quick their servers respond from various locations:

Los Angeles 1.32 ms
Dallas 4.01 ms
New York 2.61 ms
Singapore 2.05 ms
London 2.94 ms
Amsterdam 1.69 ms
San Francisco 2.8 ms

After 10 lookups, the average response time of your name server dns1.ultrawebsitehosting.com is 2.49 milliseconds.

Next, I checked their server for loading time, first byte, start render, and speed index.

Loading Time First Byte Start Render Speed Index
First View 4.572s 1.379s 2.497s 3711
Repeat View 2.200s 1.500s 0.916s 1736

Research shows other site owners are happy with the speed.

Uptime

How good is Ultra Web Hosting’s uptime?

Like other hosts, Ultra Web Hosting has a 99.9% uptime guarantee. I had a question about this policy.  Logged onto “live chat.”  Talked with Kevin Turner.  He stated this, “If the uptime is below 99.9% on a shared hosting plan.  Then we will give you one month of hosting for free.”

They do have a URL for checking downtime at https://upordown.ultrawebhosting.com/. Also, there is “server status page.”  You can check your servers status there.

Downtime should not be an issue with them.  Research shows site owners are happy with uptime.

Ultra Web Hosting Customer Support

How good is Ultra Web Hosting’s support?

They have:

  • Live chat.
  • Ticket request.
  • 1 877-850-7850 (can leave a message only).
  • Knowledgebase.
  • Forum.

My experience with Ultra Web Hosting has been great.  Live chat responded to questions in 30 seconds.  Support tickets answered in 2 hours.

Research is positive for Ultra Web Hosting.  Their customers seem to be quite happy with them.

Ultra Web Hosting Review Summary

Do I recommend Ultra Web Hosting?  Yes.   Price is lower than other hosts.  The quality of service doesn’t lack because of the cheaper price tag.  Ultra Web Hosting will match and beat other hosts by 10%.  It states this on their “price guarantee” page.

Uptime is high.  Performance is excellent.  Customer support is helpful.  Have always answered questions fast.  Lots of happy customers.  Glad to recommend Ultra Web Hosting to other site owners.

If they will not work for you.  Check out WebHostingHub and GlowHost (for shared hosting).  For VPS or dedicated.  Check out InMotion or A2 Hosting.
