Host Excellence was founded in 2002 and hosts over 20,000 websites in over 90 countries. They have experienced 100% growth every year since they began. Host Excellence has become a powerhouse in the hosting industry in a very short period of time.
Host Excellence guarantees that your website will be up 99.9% of the time throughout a 12 month period and through our testing they deliver on this promise. You even receive compensation by way of free hosting if your website is down for a period of time. That's impressive and I like a company that backs up a guarantee with money from their own pocket.

The lowest level plan is only $2.95 a month and for that money you get 5 GB of disk space and 50 GB of bandwidth. To get this low price and also get your set-up fee waived, you'll have to sign up for 2 years. This package is only for one domain and 20 sub-domains.
You get a dedicated and unique ip address, 1000 pop3 email accounts, 1000 ftp accounts and 1000 aliases, forwarders and auto-responders. For the price, this is one of the most attractive hosting plans I've seen. If you need more space, bandwidth and features, Host Excellence offers several other packages.

You can contact Host Excellence 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year via phone, chat or email. I was quite surprised how knowledgeable the staff is. They are highly trained professionals and seem eager to do their job well. It was refreshing to see how well they responded when I drilled them with one question after another. If you've to deal with other hosting companies in the past, you know how rare this can be.
You also have a one-hour support guarantee when you submit a question to the helpdesk. This is impressive. Overall, the support is excellent.

The control panel was a breeze to use. The instructions are very clear and laid out in a way that even a novice will have no problems mastering.
You're able to access virtually everything you need on your website through the control panel. With just a click of the button you can control your domain names, email, ftp, and pretty much everything else with the panel.
You have php instructions and pdf files to walk you through everything.

Overall, I give an A-. I was impressed all the way with everything they delivered. The company has their act together and they show you their actions that they value your business. I highly recommend them as one of the top hosting companies for 2007.
