HostMonster Web Hosting Package

You might already knew that Host Monster Secret Revealed is hosted on HostMonster it self for the review purpose. As the website had been started for some time, I think it’s time to give a quick wrap up with the web host performance thru out the past one month.

A quick review on HostMonster server status

For the past one month, server is 100% up; server load time is doing okay. On the disk storage issue, I don’t see their ‘unlimited disk storage’ offer affecting existing users like us (look at figure below) as no hard disk are found overloaded at the moment - let’s see what will happen for the next few months. Anyhow, I believe the company has the hardware well prepared for sudden spike in term of new customer signup.

Wrapping things up

As usual, I am not a computer expert and all reviews done here are solely based on my *REAL* customer experience. I think the HostMonster’s hosting plan is a good buy so far when you compare the price to the features they offer. Unlimited domain hosting, unlimited disk storage, unlimited bandwidth transfer, plus the server is in superb condition consistently - what more you can ask for a $7/month deal?

I’m normally skeptical about these ‘award’ kind of things.

However, in case you find these hosting awards meaningful, perhaps you want to check out this quick list of Hosting awards won by HostMonster by Web Hosting Geeks.

Getting Started with Simple Scripts

First, get into Simple Scripts control panel and click on the WordPress installation button.

This will then lead you to a brief intro page on WordPress as well as available version in Simple Scripts. At the time of writing WordPress 2.5.1 is the latest version released. Click on “Install Now”.

It’s just that easy!

As said, the overall installation process is really simple and you should really try hosting your blog on your own domain and web hosting. In case you’re running your blog on Blogspot or TypePad - you should really stop looking like an amatuer and have your own web host now.
