Introduction

Apollo Hosting started in the web hosting business in 1999 and has since grown to serve over 30,000 customers worldwide.

Apollo's offices are located in Austin, Texas. It is a privately-owned company which is committed to providing the most powerful Web Hosting tools and best customer support.

Apollo Hosting was one of the first companies to offer 24 x 7 x 365 technical support, chat and toll-free phone support. Its technical support is completely internal - Apollo does not outsource support personnel. However in recent years, Apollo Hosting has earned a somewhat poor reputation in customer service. Perhaps they have not caught up with the business growth they have experienced. However Apollo offers excellent online tutorials and an extensive FAQ knowledgebase on their website. If you are new to web hosting, these tutorials and FAQs are excellent tools to teach yourself the ins and outs of building and managing your site on your own. But if you are experiencing an unusual technical problem Apollo may take longer to resolve it than its competitors.

Price and Features

Apollo's Value Plan and is priced at $6.96 a month on a 12-month subscription. Hard Disk space is not great by today's standards, at 1,000MB but should be sufficient for most personal and small business websites.

Hosting solutions at Apollo are feature rich. PHP and MySQL support are standard with all plans. Multimedia support for Real Media, QuickTime Video, and Microsoft Media are also standard.

The e-commerce plan also comes with Miva Merchant. Support for Miva comes standard with every plan along with free upgrades. If you purchase the high-end eCommerce plan (and pre-pay at least quarterly) you receive support direct from the Miva Corporation.

All Plans Include Site Studio, Plesk Reloaded Control Panel, SpamAssassin, Free Blog Software and web statistics reports.

Customer Service/Technical Support

Apollo Hosting offers 24/7/365 toll-free support as well as chat and messaging.

Conclusion

Other solutions in our review offer a better starter package. Give it a miss we say.
