cPanel allows:
- One click installation WordPress and 310+ scripts.
- Setup for email (POP3/SMTP/IMAP).
- Full Backup tools.
- File managements (FTP).
- Domain management.
Security
Site security is a must. WebHostingHub does not use SiteLock. Instead, they have a backup service for $1/month. It backs up your sites automatically. Backups are done daily. Does not cost you to restore. You get 10 GB of backups.
Free Transfers
WebHostingHub does do free site transfers. They do three transfers per plan. Unlike BlueHost they do not charge you $149.99. I have had clients migrate to them over the years. Moving to WebHostingHub was always a smooth move.
Premium WordPress Theme
Do offer a premium WordPress theme. It was developed by InMotion. Both companies are owned by the same company. It is called BoldGrid. I tested it out. Has a drag and drop interface. You can read my BoldGrid review here.
Web Design Service
WebHostingHub has a team that designs sites. Get free hosting for a year when you hire them. Here are features:
- Free updates for a year.
- No cookie cutter templates.
- Works with another host.
- Dedicated in-house designer.
- 100% ownership of rights.
- Mobile friendly.
- Social Media Ready.
Domain Names
Can buy domains with WebHostingHub. They are $14.99/year. However, you do get a free domain when you use them for hosting. Private domains are $9.99/year extra. A total of $24.98/year. Is on the higher end, price-wise. I use NameCheap. They are cheaper for domain names.
Money Back Guarantee
The industry average is 30 days. They have a solid money-back guarantee. It is for 90 days. This is second to DreamHost (97 days). Better than JustHost (30 days), Network Solutions (30 days), and Web.com (30 days). Beyond the 90 day money-back guarantee period WebHostingHub offers pro-rated refunds.
WebHostingHub Uptime and Performance
My WebHostingHub review will show you their speed and uptime.
Uptime
WebHostingHub’s uptime is great! Never have an issue with uptime. Been hosting sites on WebHostingHub’s servers for over six years. I can not recall my site being down any. They have excellent uptime:
Research shows that uptime is great. HostingFacts.com shows uptime was 99.92%. WhoIsHostingThis.com has gotten lots of feedback about their uptime. Other sites speak highly of them, too.
Performance
WebHostingHub.com allows you to pick your server location. They have two datacenters. One is located, Los Angeles. The other is located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Why pick your servers location? To ensure your site loads quickly.
They do use SSD hard drives. The industry has been going this way for years. SSD hard drives load 20 times faster. Most hosts charge extra for SSD. They do not charge extra. Comes with every plan.
Research shows speed is good. Server responded in 611ms for HostingFacts.com. Many other hosting review site rated them highly on speed.
WebHostingHub Customer Service
Their support is U.S. based. Unlike, 1and1 and WebHostingPad they do not use overseas support. As mentioned above, they have 200 employees. They have 24/7 support. Can contact them many ways. Live chat, telephone, or support ticket. Live chat connects instantly unlike Hostgator.
I have talked to them many times. It usually takes 2 minutes on live chat. Support tickets usually get replies in less than an hour. Research shows site owners are happy with the support. WhoIsHostingthis.com has lots of reviews praising support. HostingFacts states that support is great.
