StableHost Review

StableHost Review

Selecting a reliable hosting company is a tiresome task plus it’s a time-consuming trial and error process involving wasting your hard earned money.
Even selecting the trustworthy and reliable one that fits your budget is yet another uphill task. So I thought of penning my experience with StableHost

Performance & Server Platform


This is the most differentiating and remarkable area of StableHost when compared to other hosting companies.
StableHost uses the Litespeed web server and LiteSpeed is 6 times faster than Apache. If you switch to LiteSpeed from Apache you will surely feel the speed and lightness of LiteSpeed.
In addition to LiteSpeed, the other most notable platform difference of StableHost when compared to others is that they use CloudLinux. If any of the sites in the neighborhood tries to overload the server, CloudLinux will step in and limit that site so that others are not affected.

Software Installation

StableHost uses Softaculous which is a great Auto Installer having 315 great scripts, 1115 PHP Classes. If you’ve installed any app in Windows/Mac you will feel at home with Softaculous

Bandwidth and the unlimited bandwidth myth:

There is no such thing as unlimited hard disk-space/unlimited intelligence. If you run a site that bogs too much of bandwidth, they will pull down your site or force you to move to another hosting plan, it’s as simple as that. So make it a habit of reading the hosting companies Terms of Service(TOS)
All these sites have a strict fair usage policy – commonly known as FUP. This allows you to host stuff which is only applicable to your website.

Reliability/Uptime

The image speaks for itself.

Refund Policy and Guarantee

StableHost offers a 45 day money back guarantee, 99.9% uptime SLA and guaranteed fast and  friendly support 24/7/365.

Web host migration or transfer

Site transfers are very easy with the interfaces provided or if you don’t know anything about site transfers just raise a ticket.

Customer Support


From my experience the issues are resolved so fast. For the tickets that I’ve raised so far the average response time was 15 mins or less.
If one support staff is unable to fix your ticket, they will quickly forward it to another technically competent fellow. This is one of the most like-able elements of their tech support which I had never found with other hosting companies.

Features, Cost, Disk Space

All these varies from plan to plan and also on the type of hosting that you select(Shared/Enterprise/VPS/Reseller). More info can be found out from stablehost.com

Why you should switch to StableHost(in simple words)?

In my order of preference:
  1. Speed
  2. Uptime & Reliability
  3. Support
  4. Features
  5. Cost
 




Advantages and Disadvantages

Here is a short review which shows my journey with StableHost.

1. Advantages

  • Easy Registration: I really love StableHost as I didn’t need to verify too much like other hosting providers.
  • High speed: using powerful servers and extremely fast connection, my websites always run at “light speed”.
  • During office hours, my ticket was replied quickly (within 15 mins) – very helpful & professional.
  • And finally, cheap price. I love this

2. Disadvantages

There’s only one problem with StableHost, it doesn’t  have live chat system, so that you can only take support via phone call or email.

Customer Reviews

Marin Barsic - Almost 2 years since i ordered my first plan with StableHost and can you belive it not one time has my website been down in 2 years and the only time i had to contact support is when i was late on my invoice payment :)

Stefan Banjanin - I had a problem once, my website was not loading, I contacted the support and they fixed it within 10 minutes. I was the one responsible for the problem of course. I recommend these guys to everyone!

 Jaswinder Kaur- My son is using stablehost for a long time and he never had any problem with them. So he recommend me to try it, that's why I started to search on the Internet. I read good about them, so I am going to start stablehost very soon.

Timothy L - Great web hosting company. One of the few I would recommend to friends, family, customers. They have great customer service, web hosting, speeds. What else could you ask for? Honest and straightforward team would definitely like to put in probably another of many good words in to Mau for a honest and quick response.

Brian M - I'm a very Low demanding user, to the point where I was happy with 1&1 service for nearly a decade. That being said, it's really pretty easy to give Stablehost a 5 stars. I've never had anything go wrong where I NEEDED support, the service just plain works. But the dozen or so times I've gotten in touch, they have been quick to respond. Only one of those times did it take much time for a resolution (I'd been asking after a server configuration change), and even then it was under 48 hours.
