UCwebhost, founded in 2001, is a privately owned debt-free company that claims high profitability and that they have “NO intentions of selling any time soon.” They focus on their status as a leading provider for reseller accounts, as they provide the network, servers, and support required to launch a hosting business. Their various data centers are located throughout Dallas, Texas.

Features

Despite a focus on reseller plans on the front end, UCwebHOST does offer other options. Their bargain-basement priced shared hosting ranges from a pro plan to the “Ultimate” plan. Prices reflect the features offered through each plan, but the major difference is between bandwidth and storage. Each plan also offers “100% Uptime, Everytime or you earn a Downtime Credit” policy. Each shared option also provides users with a wide range of features including Fantastico.

UCwebHOST also offers dedicated servers with a Linux or Windows option. The prices are reasonable for a server purchase, but for a few dollars more you can allow UCwebHOST to manage those servers. They plan to add more options in this department in the near future.

Reliability & Reputation

UCwebHOST maintains various networks, including Cisco Certified Network, Juniper M20 Border Routers, Cisco 6500 Series Distribution Routing Switches, and Cisco 6500 Series Aggregation Switches. Their backbones range from 1-5 GPBS depending upon ten different carriers. Finally, their building fiber is OC48 SONET Ring provided through various options. They offer 100% uptime SLA utilizing HSRP/BGP.

From the front end, UCwebHOST offers customers the availability of their President/CEO Keith Read. If he’s not available by phone, you are welcome to request your e-ticket be assigned to him. They’re so confident of their services that Read devotes some time to their promises on the site through a letter to potential and current customers. They put such importance on server status that the general public can gain access to server status at any time. Read the testimonials for more reassurance if needed.

Pricing

You never sign a contract with UCwebHOST, and you can cancel your account anytime and receive a prorated refund. Additionally, if you cancel within the first 30 days you’ll receive a full refund with the exception of any domain name policies in place. UCwebHOST accepts major credit cards and PayPal. As mentioned previously, prices will vary depending upon the service you desire.

Support

The UCwebHOST support team has many veterans who are available 24/7/365 by chat, phone, and ticket system. The Ticket System is their preferred method of support, and they claim that all e-tickets are answered within 1 hour. With the other methods of support they can provide the basic level of support, but they warn that through other levels of support it boils down to them vs. you writing the e-ticket.
