Internet technology changes and improves at a breakneck speed. Developers are constantly challenging the limits of web design and customers are always demanding more from websites with high expectations.

Both APLUS.net and WebHostingPad are two companies that have different lengths of experience, but are tops at meeting the demands of customers and bringing new technology to the forefront.
APLUS.net was founded in 1992 and began offering internet services in 1995. They began hosting services in 1998 and have continued to operate successfully through the dot-com boom and bust. Currently they have over 100,000 customers and over 400,000 registered domains.
WebHostingPad began in 2005, but in a short amount of time they have risen to the top of the industry with their innovative product design and world-class data center that allows them to provide 99.999% uptime for their customers.
Comparing these two hosting companies may seem a monumental task. But we have done the work for you and present you with our recommendation below. Please read on.
Pricing
As far as pricing, WebHostingPad makes it easy with a single shared-hosting plan for as little as $1.99 per month with 5 years prepaid. Even a 12-month plan is only $3.95 per month.
APLUS.net offers four shared-hosting plans. The Personal plan is $5.95/mo, the Business plan is $9.95/mo, the Professional plan is $19.95/mo, and the eCommerce plan is $34.95 per month.
Products and Services
In addition to web hosting, both companies offer a 99.9% uptime and 30-money back guarantee. Both companies offer professional web design and domain registration as well for their clients.
WebHostingPad also provides additional free marketing credits to use toward social media and search engine marketing.
APLUS.net offers an entire range of professional marketing services, including free marketing coupons for Google and Facebook, directory listings, marketing products, web management consulting, SEO services and consulting, and other attractive marketing services.
Web Hosting Features
The WebHostingPad plan puts almost everything a website owner needs into one plan, including unlimited disk space, bandwidth, email accounts, MySQL databases, and hosted domains. They support all the popular scripting languages and provides support for third-party software, as well as multi-media support as well. They also give a free shopping cart to all accounts, and provide all customers with cPanel control panel, which is the top-rated software in the industry.
The APLUS plans all provide ample amounts of GB for disk space and bandwidth for the plans they support. As well, they provide limited email, and MySQL databases, as well as support for scripting. Shopping cart services are extra (except for the eCommerce plan). APLUS also provides webmaster tools to all plans except Personal.
Customer Service
Both companies offer 24 hour support via online technical support tickets submission. But only WebHostingPad offers 24 hour live support via phone, chat, and even Skype.
Both have an online knowledgebase, but the APLUS site is rather confusing and limited. The WebHostingPad online help center is sufficient with articles, guides, and tutorials.
Recommendations
Overall, both companies offer great hosting service. But only WebHostingPad offers an all-encompassing plan for one low price, and unlimited live support 24 hours a day. Our recommendation goes to WebHostingPad.
