Fast Domain Host Review

By Russell Hancock

Okay, so you've just bought a new shiny domain, spent however much on a great design and now you just want to get your site up there without it costing you an arm and a leg! We've all been there and personally I really like to find good value hosting plans which still offer me enough features so that I can continue to evolve my sites over time. The problem is that most value hosting tends to be unreliable with unforeseen downtimes. In the past that has been my major problem, be it with VPS solutions or just straight shared hosting and I'd say that reliability is my second major requirement after a low cost!

Early this year I was told about Fast Domain. First of all their price is extremely low with hosting starting from only $3.95 meaning that the hosting is available for anyone! Second, they provide a fantastic range of services. These include e-commerce facilities which are essential now that people increasingly want to earn money from their websites. On top of that they offer a site builder which makes it easy to get started without any experience whatsoever. The same is true of a free bulletin board.

That isn't all, fast domain offers 1500Gb of webspace and exactly the same amount of data transfer per month. For those of us that like to offer hosting for friend's files or perhaps run a video or photography based website such amounts of web space and bandwidth per month are vital.

Turning to email, there is support for over 2,500 separate accounts both POP3 and IMAP. My last project was for a games review website which required a lot of author contributions from different authors who all had to be contactable by the public. Having so many different accounts made this really easy. The same is true of the FTP accounts and Fast Domain offer one thousand per account meaning that you can allow a lot of people to have customised access to different parts of your hosting, meaning that Fast Domain make it really easy for group based projects.

So to sum up, Fast Domain is really a great budget solution which can actually scale to exactly what you want. This means that they are a great choice for anyone, whether just starting out or if you are more experienced.
