ANHosting Review

Linux Mega Plan - $6.95 / month Mega Plan Plus - $9.95 / month |
AN Hosting’s shared hosting provides many features for a low price. The total disk space and traffic are low-average and many scripts are provided for blogs, forums, image galleries, web auctions, etc.
Unfortunately AN Hosting has only two web hosting packages, so if you needed to upgrade any aspect of your hosting sometime after signing up beyond what’s provided in the “Mega Plan Plus” package you’re going to have to leave AN Hosting and look for a new provider. This wouldn’t likely be a problem for most small to medium sized websites however.
What’s good about AN Hosting:
- Low monthly fee
- Unlimited MySQL Databases
- Many scripts and e-commerce features included
- Free advertising credits
- custom CRON jobs
- Fantastico Support
- Ruby on Rails
What’s not-so-good about AN Hosting:
- AN Hosting has only two hosting packages
- No Windows Hosting
- Only 19 add-on domains allowed (30 for Plus plan)
- Quarterly & Semi-Annual plans have $29.95 setup fee
AN Hosting is a good choice for small to medium sized sites looking for shared hosting with solid features. E-commerce sites can benefit highly from AN Hosting’s hosting package.
