The VodaHost Web site states, “VodaHost is one of the most trusted & reputable web hosting providers on the internet,” yet there is no information available to state who is behind this Web hosting company. They are connected with a ‘network’ that provides other services such as VodaTalk (forum), VodaBids (bids on site design, etc.), VodaHits (search engine submission) and so on. They do claim to support 30,000+ Web sites on their servers.

Features

VodaHost provides one Web host plan, with all the bells and whistles. They offer Fantastico HOT! Plus Web/FTP stats, ecommerce, Web-based email, and more. They also provide the “Blue Voda” site builder exclusive to customers including an extensive tutorial on how to use this tool.

VodaHost also provides a tool called, “Soholaunch.” Soholaunch enables you to build a professional website with eCommerce capabilities through a user-friendly interface and gives you the power to create database-driven eCommerce systems quickly and easily, regardless of your technical experience level. Soholaunch is an alternative to the popular osCommerce shopping cart.

Reliability & Reputation

VodaHost uses only “Dell class servers,” which is a phrase not encountered before. We’re unsure if they’re actually Dell servers, or servers that seem like Dell servers. They also state that their servers are located at “The Planet” data center, but they don’t state where this center is located or if they’re resellers.

Outside the confusion outlined above, VodaHost servers are connected to a 100% Cisco Powered Network. Using enterprise-class Cisco networking gear, all routers, layer-2 switches, and layer-3 switches are tested in labs prior to deployment to ensure stability and interoperability. They use multiple Tier 1 Service Providers, VodaHost offers 99.99% uptime guarantee, ensuring the highest degree of security against network downtime and the fastest possible data transfers.

Pricing

Prices are reasonable for all hosting services, but any other information about payments is reserved for actual order. They do offer a full 30-day money-back guarantee for all hosting plans. Their refund policy does not apply to Web design, Web programming, or any additional items or services. If you received the domain for free as part of a promotion and you cancel within 30 days you will be charged $14.95 for the domain, once registered, the domain is yours to keep no matter where you are hosting. The 30-day money-back guarantee does not apply to reseller accounts, dedicated servers, or any fees associated with these accounts.

Support

As metioned previously, VodaHost sponsors an active forum, where members can actively participate in various activities. The forums also are where any server problems are addressed. Outside this venue, VodaHost provides Flash tutorials, a knowledgebase, and an eticket system. All these support solutions are provided 24/7/265.
