Eboundhost Hosting: Let Them
Handle the Website Details for Your Business
Founded in 2000, Eboundhost is a web hosting company
based in Chicago, Illionois, and currently services
thousands of customers. Their mission statement is “To
provide trouble-free web hosting services. To establish
customer confidence with an aggressive follow through
and outstanding customer service.” Their services are
designed for individual use, as well as small and more
established businesses. Their aim is to reduce the work
you have to do so that you can focus on business, while
they handle the website details.
They have two Linux based web hosting plans: the Home
Plan and the Professional Plan. There is no setup fee
for either plan. Each plan also has a free domain name,
99.9% guaranteed uptime, a 90-day money back guarantee,
is Blackberry and Treo compatible, has SSL capability,
site statistics, and has spam and virus filters, among
many other features.
The Home Plan starts at $6.55 a month and offers 5
hosted websites per account. It also gives you 30GB of
disk storage, 750GB of allowable data transfers, and up
to 3,500 email accounts. The Professional Plan starts at
$9.99 a month and has an unlimited number of hosted
websites per account. It also gives you 45GB of disk
storage, 900GB of allowable data transfers, and up to
5,000 email accounts.
Eboundhost also offers dedicated server hosting. This is
ideal for small or even large businesses, who need an
entire server just for their website. You will be the
only company using this server, unlike the previous
plans where you will be sharing one server with several
other websites. If your new business is just starting
out, you can opt for their Value Systems package,
designed to meet your budget’s restrictions. The monthly
charge is $150 and has instant availability. With that
you also receive 512MB RAM, 80GB Server Rated (SR), and
1,000GB data transfer. The Business Class package starts
at $229 and has a 3 hour wait to get fully up and
running (when purchasing the plan). It has 2GB RAM, 2 x
320GB MIRROR RAID1 Server Rated (SR), and 1,000GB data
transfer.
Free domain names come with any account you sign up for
with Eboundhost. However, if all you need right now is
the domain name and you want to wait on building your
website, you can get just the domain name. New domain
name registration will run you $14.99 a year. You can
also transfer a domain name.
Eboundhost also offers an affiliate program. It’s a free
program to join and you can earn $50 for every customer
you refer that purchases a web hosting plan. There’s a
listing of the newest affiliates, as well as the
purchase ratios and a listing of the affiliates’
commissions. They want you to get in on the action of
their quality service and, in the process, you can earn
a nice residual income.
Finally, Eboundhost’s Help Center has extensive
information available. There is a FAQ page where you can
select from several categories. There are 11 categories
to look up information, including a Tips and Tricks link
that offers you ‘short cut’ solutions to you problem. In
addition, there’s a Spam Filter tutorial and a Plesk
Manual to help you out. You can also choose to contact
them by phone or submit a trouble ticket with a specific
question or issue, if the FAQ hasn’t helped.
If you’re looking for particular member services, you
can access this part of their website for more
information. Here you can also view network availability
and check for any possible outages or updates. It’s
updated every five minutes and displays the server
traffic. Plus, you can access your web mail from this
page as well as the Hosting Account Control Panel and
the Billing and Domain Name System.
There’s also a blog you can access for more information
on web hosting and related issues. EboundHost’s blog
covers a variety of areas such as affiliates, hosting,
maintenance, marketing, and miscellaneous.
