Good Find

Mar 30 2012

Fat Cow was a find for me. I was paying more for the less service and always had trouble with the site. I just started running a site using Fat Cow for the smith production technologies. I had some doubts with using a host I knew noting about but I am so glad I did. I really like it and will recommend it to the others I am asked to design a site for. Thank you so much for the great web hosting and easy access

Strong customer service

Mar 24 2012

I switched from Yahoo hosting to Fat Cow about half a year now, and all i can say is Fat Cow is far better than what I was getting, in almost every aspect. Many Web-based applications is amazing, i can run many system level applications right in my Web browser. Of course, many other web hosting providers out there do provide similar features, but Fat Cow stands out with its strong customer service.

99.9% uptime

Mar 23 2012

Fat Cow hosting has been great and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for hosting. Their support is top notch and their customer support blew me away, talking to a human in less than thirty seconds after I called up four different times, and the problem was always solved promptly. I have had no problem with the speed of their servers and their 99.9% uptime has always delivered.

I have been hosting with FatCow all my clients for several years now. It's been great experience for me as a web master, as well as for my clients. They are happy with their sites' performance, while I'm getting all the tools and support I need from FatCow. Strongly recommend!

Up & running in minutes!

Mar 18 2012

I recently signed up with FatCow and I'm quite impressed with their tools. I was able to set up my blog in minutes. This is my second web hosting company and I have to admit - everything works much better than with my previous host. Support is very friendly and professional. I wish I switched to FatCow earlier.

Best company I've ever hosted with

Mar 14 2012

I signed up with FatCow over three months ago. I can't really comment on their support because I simply haven't contacted them. Everything is working really smoothly, my web site is always up and running. FatCow's CP is really user friendly, and I got all the tools I need to run my web site. Just love it!

I'm a basic user and it works well.

Mar 13 2012

My needs are simple: a reliable, ftp accessible host with a few email addresses. For $70 a year, FatCow delivers that. And it has an easy to use interface and more features than I know how to click on.

FatCow saves green!

Mar 11 2012

I think its really cool that FatCow uses wind energy for its data centers! By hosting with FatCow I'm doing my part of protecting environment where I can, and it costs me almost nothing - just few bucks a month! FatCow saves environment and it saves me green! FatCow rocks!

Real support!

Mar 10 2012

I have to admit I didn't expect such a great customer service experience from a company named FatCow. But since day one they exceeded my expectations. First, they did a follow up call after I sign up. Then, when I had some difficulties with transferring domain they worked out all the issues with domain registrar. I give them 5-star ratings and for quick professional support and great hosting package!

FatCow delivers

Mar 6 2012

One of the biggest concerns I had when I was looking for new hosting was the uptime. After signing up with FatCow I have never ever found my web site down or not available. On top of that, Control Panel is really intuitive and makes it really easy to manage my web site. For price/value ratio you cant beat what FatCow has to offer. Really happy that I switched to FatCow!

First signed up just because of the name... and it turned out to be much better then expected! support is super-friendly, and they've got plenty of features for the price they charge. Can't really ask for more.
