They also provide numerous testimonies to their service and support systems. You can share the disk space and bandwidth of your account with up to 10 account-owned domains and unlimited subdomains. They also provide wireless content-ready Web site opportunities, along with full FTP access, unlimited hits, and no forced ads.

Reliability & Reputation

AWH’s multi-homed, redundant network utilizes connections to many major Internet backbones to ensure that data reaches the end-user in the fastest, most efficient manner possible. They also have peering agreements with local ISPs to allow fast delivery of packets when possible. AWH runs the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) for best case routing. Their entirely switched, Cisco-powered network employs Cisco class routers running HSRP (N+1 hot failover) to ensure that data can be routed even in the event of a router failure. Peering agreements rarely include Service Level Agreements (SLAs), but AWH actually has SLAs with all providers. They are able, therefore, to guarantee that all packets will leave their network at full speed and that all information arrives to the end user.

AWH maintains load-balanced, dual 1.6Ghz and quad 2.0Ghz RedHat Linux servers behind a secure, firewalled server environment.

Pricing

AWH offers three separate hosting plans that reflect the upgrades in server space and bandwidth offered. Although these plans aren’t on the budget level, they’re reasonable considering that they also provide access to over fifty-two free scripts, full access to the CPanel and from one-hundred to unlimited email accounts.

Support

AWH offers a 99.9% Up-time guarantee along with a 30-day money back guarantee. They provide forums, open support tickets, AIM “Always Support,” ICQ support, online FAQs and a helpdesk.
