WebhostingPad offers one of the cheapest plans on the market at just $1.99 per month, if paid 4 years in advance, and even their 12-month web hosting plan is just $3.95 per month. But don’t think cheap equals low quality.

Products and Services
A web host who offers only website plans is likely a host going out of business soon. It’s also the little “extra” products and services that make it worth the price. In fact, both WebhostingPad and A2Hosting offer very similar extras including a free web site building tool, generous credits to market your site on search engines and social media. In addition to a site building tool, A2Hosting also provides discounts on professional web design services as well.
Both also offer cPanel control panel software to their clients, as well as a 99.9% uptime guarantee and 30-day money-back guarantees as well.
Web Hosting Features
What do you get for such low prices? With both hosts you get unlimited disk space, bandwidth, email accounts, and hosted domains. In addition, WebhostingPad gives you unlimited MySQL databases, email forwarders and autoresponders, and parked domains.
Both hosts offer eCommerce features, but A2Hosting takes their eCommerce much further with a choice of shopping carts, and PayPal and merchants counts available.
For multi-media and scripting, both companies provide support for popular applications and scripting languages.
Customer Service
Only WebhostingPad offers true 24 hour support via telephone, chat, and email. A2Hosting provides live chat and a telephone support, but when they are not available they promise to get back to you “within 24 hours or less.”
Both also offer a substantial and easy-to-navigate online help center with knowledgebase and support library.

These two solid web hosts give their clients a great deal. But for the best support, the best price, and the best “unlimited” plan available on the market, WebhostingPad takes our recommendation for your small business.
