I'm a new customer, and setting up my website was a very trying experience for me as my technical knowledge is very limited. Every time I call FatCow technical support everyone has been just super. One agent in particular, Trevor L., went above and beyond. He stayed on the line with me until all the problems were solved and went on to explain everything to me in terms I could understand. With people like Trevor working for FatCow, it gives me a very favorable impression about the company and glad I picked FatCow.com to handle my account.

We have used FatCow for six years with very good experience. Last year, they added Outlook Exchange to their offering. This has been a nightmare with at least one lost day every month. So if you need anything besides basic hosting, stay away.

I wanted to create a website without learning html language or purchasing software that would take weeks to learn how to use. For relatively straight forward websites, I would recommend FatCow. The 24 hour on-line support is particularly useful.

Globat.com has cost me more money than any company I have ever had to deal with. Signing up with Globat basically means they can take money from your account whenever they deem necessary.

Overall I have found that working with Fat Cow is very helpful & productive. My main problem is that I have been unable to load flash objects to my site. The staff have alweays been very helpful, courteous & knowledgable.

I was excited about FatCow, but in the last six months, I have spent more time with their technical support than I imagined. Their email service has problems they can't fix, they won't bother to send email warnings when you are near quote and simple shut your email down, and on and on. Looking for another host.

I would say they are a good host. Their interface was intuitive, they had a solid knowledge base, and help was only a click away. When I had to cancel my account (explained below) They were quick and professional.
HOWEVER - Fat Cow offers ONE product. They don't offer what I would consider to be standard hosting necessities - dedicated IP addresses or SSL certificates. They only offer shared SSL certs. Considering I Was setting up a small ecommerce shop, I didn't want my customers to have to go through https://mysite.fatcow.com in order to make purchases securely!

Best non-vps hosting I've used. I've tried a lot of different hosts over the past 7 or 8 years, and it seemed like the non-vps ones tied your hands with regards to the amount of control they would give you. With fatcow, the control panel is simple, but when you really need some more advanced configuration stuff (setting up subdomains, overwriting apache settings, etc) the fatcow control panel does it as well as or better than any other non-vps hosting I've used.

FatCow has provided an excellent platform where I was able to put together a website quickly and easily with access to all the latest features at a price that can't be beat. They have given my small business with a limited budget the chance to compete with big budget competitors easily, effectively and economically.

In my two plus years with Fat Cow I have had no issues, hickups or problems. Questions are answered quickly and with competent people. I am a new to having a web site and I must admit I had my reservations, but using Fat Cow has made the start up and ongoing management easy and even though it is a simple site with no e-commerce it still drives business to my shop.

I've been a fatcow user for almost 3 years now. I think the hosting itself is good compared to the cheap price (but don't expect a lot from a shared hosting ).
