FatCow is a high-quality hosting company with a not so normal name. They offer a simple one hosting plan approach for just $99/year. If full hosting isn't your bag, then they have a Mini-Moo plan for just $5/year. The best thing about FatCow is the charm. While most hosting companies are full of technobabble, FatCow calls their support agents "The Moo Crew" and their site is loaded with cow references such as "legenDairy" and "Beefing it up".

Reliability

With FatCow as your hosting company, you don't need to worry about your Web site, e-mail and domains working reliably. Their service consistently maintains unmatched reliability and performance while still making their tools easy enough for non-technical folks to use. They also just launched a new service that allows you to let them know how your services are performing.

Control Panel

FatCow has built their control panel which is very intuitive to use. The tools are laid out in a simple, nice way. They have divided their control into Web site management, e-mail management, Domain management and account management. Also provided are a few handy resource graphs to see how much disk space, bandwidth and mailboxes are being used. In general, all the tools in the control panel work really well and all have a similar feel to them so the learning curve is quite low compared to other out-of-the box control panels

Customer Support

FatCow's support team is aptly named the "Moo Crew" and offers 24 /7 phone, e-mail, and online chat support. Each member of the Moo Crew is quite knowledgeable, friendly and truly acts like they care about you. The online knowledgebase is also pretty comprehensive so you truly only need to call support when you have to.
