HostMonster is one of the oldest webhosting companies that I see still viable. Feedback will vary depending on who you ask. For many HostMonster is what they needed to bring the stability that was needed. They operate and own their own data center with top wonderful infrastructure and high end servers.
Pricing & Value
HostMonster will definitely surprise you with many of the features that are offered at an affordable price. Below are a few features that are offered at a much lower cost compared to other hosting companies:
Unlimited Domains, Domain Name, unlimited sub domains, Shell Access (SSH), Cpanel with Fantastico, Ruby on Rails (Ruby on Wheels), Custom PHP.INI Files, and 100 MySQL Databases.
Other features include forwarding email accounts, unlimited email support, host international domains, auto responders, site promotion, and shopping cart scripts.
The pricing for HostMonster is excellent compared to others especially when you add in all of the services and features included in your packages. Their hosting is perfect for small businesses and small websites.
Stability
If you are looking for a stable host for your personal needs or business HostMonster could be what you are looking for. They offer a 99% uptime guarantee. All hosting accounts with an OC-48 backbone structure and customized Apache web service and excellent performing Quad Opteron servers which mirrored storage backups, backup generator, and UPS power backups. They have a full security staff that monitors the datacenter 24/7 so your hardware is always protected.
Control Panel
HostMonster users will greatly benefit from the cPanel control panel that has been tested time and time again. The convenience that is given from using cPanel will not only save users time but help them to enhance the creativity of their website. The icon-based interface is simple to use that even the newest users will have no problems operating it. Everything is neatly categorized into: Mail Management, Account & Domain Management, Site Menu functions (which is used for FTP, site publishing, etc.), and several Advanced Menu functions (used for things such as Cron jobs, Backups, FrontPage, SSL, and databases). You have assistants such as Search Engine Submit, and your option of different cPanel Wizards including Shopping Cart Gurus or PageWizard.
Personal cPanel notes, Startup Tools, ToolTips, and other important settings are all saved on a separate MyCpanel page which also allows you to publish your traffic stats on your website or read incoming emails.
Whether you are new to hosting your own web pages or advanced you will be able to do everything needed via cPanel within just a matter of minutes.
Customer Support
HostMonsters customer support is one of the better ones. When you call or email you will only find a courteous staff that is waiting to help you with anything they can. Not only can you receive the help you need via their live options but you can also use their self-service center which has a large searchable knowledgebase. Their email query ticket system is convenient and easy to use when you can’t find the answer to what you are looking for.

Simply Awesome!
for 2 years using,Unlimited Disk ,Unlimited Bandwidth with a Free Domain and SSH Support,speed is also great for chinese,so hostmonster is the best choose for you
I personally like hostmonster of the available choices. Who can afford to miss out on their great price with the best support and reliability?
I’ve been using HM for over 3 years now, and I remember when I first signed up. Their packages were not for unlimited space, but the second they upgraded, they contacted me and upgraded my package just like that, no questions asked.
And for me as a webmaster, I have to give them tons of respect for their affiliate program, one of the best commissions around no questions asked. One of the hosts I use that I just love, top notch stuff.
