eHost has a cheap entry point, you can choose to pay monthly or annually, at even better rates. That’s to be expected in this day and age. However, they try and sell you a stack of add-ons as soon as you get through the gate, and that leaves a bit of a sour taste in the mouth.  The pill is slightly less bitter as eHost offer services like $100’s of free advertising credit and free email accounts, something other providers in this space cash in on. They also offer a free domain for life, it is an appealing feature that is worthy of a thumbs up. 

eHost.com Ease of Use

eHost certainly feels intuitive and easy to use. The clean, well organized front-end of their website is mirrored by the orderly control panel provided with all hosting plans. That said, eHost does insist of you choosing your domain name before you can get into the service in full, which may not be ideal if you are still considering this important business decision.

Their site builder really does impress in terms of ease of use. Everything is beautifully designed, and intuitive. Sure, you don’t have the power of Wordpress, but if that’s your thing, you can sidestep the site builder and go ahead and use CPanel to install Wordpress and more. EHost does everything it can to make getting started with its service smooth and simple, which is great as many hosting services can be hard to get to grips with at first.

ECommerce tools are easy to find and install, and eHost’s free website builder allows first timers to build a good-looking site quickly and easily – even with no web design experience. For eCommerce sites, a specific eCommerce-hosting plan is available and easy to install.

eHost.com Security and Backups

Hosting packages includes an enhanced security suite and 24 hour network monitoring. All personal information for your account, such as credit card data, is collected using SSL security and stored on secure servers.

eHost maintains automated backups for all servers, but those only run once per week and are only stored for a single week. Any account that uses more than 20 gigabytes of data will not be included in weekly backups; instead, eHost will simply back up your databases.

Regardless of the size of your site, you shouldn’t rely on eHost to protect you from data loss. Set up your own backups and save them regularly to another location.
