Host208 is a full-service web-hosting service that aims to do it all — host your web site, help you easily create content, and offer advanced marketing tools. They offer fast and stable servers, a user-friendly web hosting Control Panel, 24-hour customer support (via the phone or ticket), and some free bonuses such as the SiteStudio (a web design tool) and the Elefante Installer (management, e-commerce tools).
And all of this is offered at ridiculously low prices. I’m not sure how they can afford the prices they are offering — the basic plan is $4.50 per month and you get 15,000 MB of storage, 300 GB data transfer, 3 domains hosted on the same account, FTP access, etc…along with a 30 day money back guarantee. The other plans are called Corporate and Enterprise priced at $8.50 and $12.50 per month with equally successive upgrades in storage and other features. The site itself is cumbersome and cluttered, but its service and prices may trump that downside. The only weird thing I found in the whole site is that they do not have a logo! No joke. It’s the first site I’ve ever reviewed that doesn’t have a logo!

Moreover, our business approach is human-oriented in that our client support is a center factor in the quality hosting service that we offer.
