Overview
Hostony offer industry leading infrastructure built with the best equipment and provides the highest level of security, safety, redundancy, reliability, scalability, technology a nd customer service and support.
Established in 2001, Hostony become a leading provider of small business hosting by offering solutions for all levels of experience, from beginners to web designers.
Continued commitment to providing the most powerful Web Hosting tools & the best customer support is key to their ongoing success.

Features
They offer 6 different web hosting plans with 2 plans under $10/month - the $7.85 PROFI plan and the $9.85 SPECIAL plan (pricing for 2 years prepay, $11.85 for 1 year prepay). While other web hosts offer plans with storage half as great to it, they also might restrict your daily or weekly limit. That means if your website has exceeded a given daily or weekly limit but still within your monthly limit, they will still charge you for overusing.
With Hostony, you can assure they do not have such restrictions with your disk space and bandwidth usage. If your have a big surge in your website traffic or you consume the bandwidth by uploading a very big files on a particular day, you won't be penalized so long as it's still within your month limit.
One of the many reasons that we like about Hostony is that all their plans includes most of the important features needed for small business. Apart from the huge disk space, bandwidth, unlimited MySQL databases, Frontpage Extension and Anonymous FTP Access, you'll also get built-in shopping cart, SSL, Cron Job editor, Web Based File Manager, support for .htaccess and other advanced tools to jump start your internet business.
You can choose wich operating system (Unix or Windows) in each plan, with no difference price. In addition Hostony's windows plans includes advanced features such as Active Server Pages (ASP) and ASP.net that you can use to create and run dynamic, interactive Web server applications.
Huge size, a great number of features, platform options and great customer support make Hostony's packages unbeatable.

Cpanel
Cpanel - the control panel used by Hostony, is the most widely used platform on the internet. cPanel preferred over most of other control panels because it's feature-packed, user-friendly and require shorter loading time.
Another popular control panel is Plesk. But from our experience, CPanel is far more powerful then Plesk. It allows you to control a lot of things, including email accounts, MySQL databases, custom error messages, password protected directories, setting up forum, shopping cart, chat room, cron jobs, sub domains, MIME types, apache handlers, search engine submission, free CGI scripts and many more. You can even upload and manage your files with its powerful file manager. What we really want you to know is that you can do a lot with CPanel and have a lot of fun with it. There are no such things as setting up forum or cron jobs in Plesk. Plesk control panel is also very slow to load even with a broadband Internet connection.

Customer Support
Customer support at Hostony is superior and they are very responsive to your questions. E-mail support requests always get answered in a timely manner. We tested their response time by sending them both general and technical questions and were very satisfied that all questions get answered in a professional manner within hour. This is very different from any other web hosting company out there.
Accounts are usually setup the same day after they verify the order with you over the phone within thirty minutes to one hour. It is essential that a working phone number be inputted into the system in order for your account to be setup immediately. They also offer a live chat system that enables you to chat with Hostony's stuff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Their employees average over 4 years of hosting experience and have broken and fixed just about everything web site hosting related that can be broken and fixed. Combining this knowledge with friendly staff and responsive management yields their tech support team.
To help you further in addressing your problem, Hostony has established a very comprehensive forum for everyone to participate. There are over 11,267 published topics and we are sure that you can find most of your answers there.
Although they do not offer phone support at this time, they use a very easy Support Ticket System, and we recommend that you open a trouble ticket yourself to save time.

Hostony provide their customers with outstanding service and unparallel reliability and performance that no hosting company has match. You may want to read other review site for comparison.
