Features And Pricing
HostNine.com gives you control of your website with the now famous cPanel and WHM. This has to be the one of the best (if not the best) control panel. cPanel allows you to manage your account at the website-level so you can perform tasks such as managing email accounts, databases, backup & restore operations and many more. WHM is used to perform server-level management: install or remove applications, configure services, manage user accounts and lots more features.
While they could offer a little but resources when it comes to shared hosting space and bandwidth, they've got plenty of other features to help you build your online presence:
- Fantastico will make your life easier by automating script installation (Wordpress, phpBB, Joomla, etc.);
- A shopping cart so you can get your ecommerce online easily;
- A site builder so you can avoid hours of web development.
All this backed up by a 30 day moneyback guarantee.
A young hosting company definitely worth a try.
