The CaymanHost Web Hosting Directory

MK Hosting USA is a relatively new name to me here at TCH but one I am going to become very familiar with in the weeks ahead.

This review is being written after only having signed up for an account a matter of days ago and in that sense it is perhaps too early to speak much about negatives, because in all honesty, I have yet to find any. That’s not to say that there won’t be any problems, ever; this is web hosting after all.  However, I thought it would be good to share my very positive experiences with the company so far and explain a little more about them and how I came to be a customer.

For many years I used Kiosk.ws as my hosting company and I’ve been pretty happy, as regular readers will probably already know. Their bundled web hosting and marketing services were, for many years, pretty hard to beat in terms of service, support, reliability and value.

In recent times Kiosk transformed into GVO and they have invested a great deal of time and money in upgrading and adding to their core services and embarking on a very high profile relaunch after moving from Canada to Texas and a brand new data center. During the course of all the upheaval however, all in the GVO garden was not rosy and after countless issues and problems I felt it was time to start seriously looking for new pastures. To be fair, GVO is not a bad company but like many relationships one party outgrew the other and the changes, whilst essential for one to grow, left the other feeling disillusioned and wanting more from life.

Having built several websites and mailing lists with GVO, as well as earning recurring affiliate commissions with them, it seemed a lot to give up and also a lot to try and replace.

Discovering MKHosting was one of those happy accidents, the circumstances of which are hard to recall. On seeing their website however, I was certain I had found a real contender for my hosting and marketing requirements.

The company are, in many ways, similar to GVO and whilst direct comparison might be unfair to both companies, the similarities are hard to ignore and their target market is indisputably similar. GVO offer a reseller hosting account, unlimited email autoresponders, lead capture templates and systems, video hosting and marketing services, VOIP conference rooms and a multi tier affiliate program paying recurring monthly commissions. The charge for their package is, at the time of writing, $45.00 per month.

MKHosting provide shared hosting with no limits on storage, bandwidth, email accounts, domains, FTP accounts or MySQL databases (no reseller account). For a full list of MKHosting’s web hosting features click here.  They also offer a complete email marketing service with unlimited autoresponders, a multi tier affiliate program paying recurring monthly commissions, a free domain for new customers (.biz) and  around $150 in PPC advertising coupons.  You’ll also get some basic rebrandable lead capture pages that can be easily integrated with your autoresponder service and for those wanting to build a site using templates, the company have teamed up with Hostgator to offer a library of over 4500 quality themes. All this comes in at under $20.00 per month.

The following video gives a brief tour of the company’s website and Service Features and Live Demo Accounts Features (Please turn on annotations when viewing the video below -- see button bottom right of YouTube player)

This was well worth a look for me and I tested the waters, as I recommend all potential new customers of a hosting company should do, by firing off an email enquiring about the services and asking a few questions pertinent to my requirements and situation. I had an answer within twenty minutes (on a Friday afternoon) and it was positive, well written and to the point.

I began a series of questions via this ticket and replies came very promptly and were all from the same support guy who was knowledgeable and very efficient. It seemed that I had found a little gem and although I had decided to think carefully about my decision to move, I was so reassured by the responses that I decided the next day to pay my first month’s fee and initiate the transfer of my sites and domains.

This is always a nail biting time for a webmaster but the smoothness and simplicity of the move was impressive indeed. The fact is that the same support guy I had spoken to from day one, handled the entire move for me. I did not have to do a thing aside from provide him with required login information and the like so that he could access my various sites. All I did was kick back and answer a couple of emails and my sites were seamlessly moved to the new server, the DNS changes taken care of and in the space of a Saturday morning and early afternoon, the job was done.  More to the point it was done with no ill effects whatsoever, nothing was broken and to an outside observer you would never have known anything was happening.

I spent most of the day configuring my new autoresponder and email marketing toys, which, I have to say, may not be quite as user friendly as those at my previous host but are certainly way superior in terms of features. These tools are the best I have used and the statistical information is a match for any third party service. After a day of messing around I had pretty much mastered the system. The company were quite happy to allow me to import all my existing opt-in subscribers and the only reason it took a bit longer than I would have liked was due to the imperfect export facility from my previous autoresponders rather than anything else.

In addition to the autoresponders you also get a proper email marketing set up that provides a large number of templates for your broadcasts or newsletters . They cover countless niches and they are very easy to use.

As far as the hosting goes I have zero complaints so far. cpanel is the control panel of choice and I would not use anything else. All the features of my previous cpanel are there, including Fantastico Deluxe, plus a few new ones I didn’t have at GVO. OK, there is no reseller facility but I gave that game up a long time ago so it’s no loss to me. I have more of everything for less monthly cost.

Aside from the conference rooms and the Easy video Producer tools (Neither of which were important to me personally) MKHosting are providing me with the options to do way more than I could have done at GVO where I paid $25 per month for all services due to grandfather rights as an old Kiosk Platinum customer. However this came with pretty stringent restrictions on storage, bandwidth and things like MySQL databases (that last one is a real pain for a webmaster in 2010).

And so to the affiliate program -- GVO’s much hyped opportunity is a genuine program and does reward active affiliates very well, as well as those who are fortunate enough to join under a big name networking recruiter and benefit from spillover. However, the pay plan with MKHosting is also very good and they actually pay a higher percentage to their affiliates for direct referrals at $6 a head. The earnings potential with both companies is good but in light of all the MLM focus recently over at GVO, I tink it’s become a harder thing to sell in all honesty and when times are tough, even if it does represent good value, close to fifty bucks a month is something a lot of people can’t or won’t commit to. I have sacrificed my monthly Paypal deposit from GVO in the quest for better service and a better user/customer experience. I no longer felt that it was worth holding onto the commissions when the trade of in recent times has been downtime and an indifferent attitude towards me as a customer.

If you would like to know more about all the features and services of an account at MKHosting, the marketer’s package is the sole option. Everything is laid out clearly and neatly for all to see, so you know exactly what your monthly hosting fees will get you. At this price point, you really would be hard pushed to find anything better.

If I have any criticism at all, I would say that the payment options could be explained a little more clearly on the site. You can choose to pay via AlertPay or Paypal but at the moment, Paypal customers have to do things manually and send a purchase receipt to the company to get set up -- it’s no big deal, just a minor inconvenience. AlertPay users will have no problems but the site suggests that you must pay via AlertPay every month (as someone with little experience of the payment processor I found the issue a little confusing, wanting as I did to pay with my debit card). As it turns out of course, this is not a problem, and although the website showed the major credit/debit card logos the insistence on AlertPay was a little disconcerting -- then again maybe I was just having a senior moment Ultimately it is easy enough to set up a free account with AP and you will need it if you want to receive commissions earned as an affiliate.

After a couple of days of exploration everything seems to work just as it should and, it seems to me, my sites’ load times are improved too. The MKHosting servers are located in the US, with the Planet, so in terms of data security and server monitoring etc. there should not be too much to worry about. This was one of my major bug bears with GVO in recent months where security issues were plaguing many customers and causing downtime of varying levels of seriousness. Unfortunately for me I suffered at the extreme end of the scale and whilst much of it was not directly the fault of the host, the responses to the issues were not good at all.  Combine that with very inefficient support and, to be frank, some pretty uncharacteristic bad attitudes from GVO staff in general and it starts to wear on you and your business after a time.

I’m hopeful of a much better experience at my new home and so far, they have certainly not disappointed me.

To sum up, if you want a very well featured shared hosting account along with a superb email marketing system, a great affiliate program and excellent 24/7 customer and tech support, you could do a lot worse than check this company out.

I will report back after a few months have gone by on how the glow of newness as stood up to the rigours of day in day out web hosting but for now, all is good and MKHosting win a big thumbs up and vote of confidence from TheCaymanHost.

Honest hosting reviews: is there any such thing? There are plenty of people who will have you believe that there is not and some will go as far as discrediting virtually any hosting review website. As a site that obviously falls under that banner I thought I should address the issue here on these pages.

Before I go any further, check out this video. For some this will be an eye opener whilst for others it is probably old news. However, before refuting any claims or arguing the case for web hosting review sites I think it highlights some very important facts.

Interesting huh? But hang on you’re saying to yourself, why would a web hosting directory site want to highlight such alleged rottenness in the hosting review game? Well, I think it is important for people to understand the pitfalls, misdirection and even dishonesty that is sometimes associated with review sites of all kinds. Review is often synonymous with “selling” on the internet and the way some sites go about this, unfortunately reflects badly on some of the decent operators out there.

The video illustrates quite clearly that some sites sell rankings to hosting companies, at at quite a considerable premium. The examples given are quite staggering to a small website owner like myself. $2000 per month for a top spot is a pretty lucrative slice of real estate and proves just how much money and competition exists in the hosting sector. Make no mistake, it is very big business. Is it wrong for the review sites to operate in this way? Some would say emphatically “YES”, others would agree that it is certainly misleading and some would perhaps shrug and say, “that’s business”.

Personally I think that if you profess to be a review site, you should endeavor to provide impartial comments and critiques from people who have had first hand experience as a customer.

The other aspect the video focuses on is affiliate links, and this is where I often find myself taking issue with the anti advertising brigade. If you read my disclosure policy, it is made perfectly clear where I stand on this point. My website is commercial in nature and I see no reason to be ashamed of trying to earn a living. This site is designed to earn affiliate commissions, and it is done openly and honestly but it is also designed to give people a forum for discussing and rating the companies we feature. Comments, both negative and positive are given an airing on this site and it is my hope that these will help others when they are trying to make a purchase decision. Hopefully the service provided will encourage them to buy through one of my links, but that is entirely their choice.

Interestingly, reviews are very thin on the ground to date. We are not one of the big boys with huge budgets to spend on advertising and design, but I do hope that the site provides a platform for people to have their say. I have only ever declined one comment regarding a hosting company as it had obviously been written by a very angry customer and publishing it could have been damaging to all concerned. It is only on occasions such as that when I consider editing or removing feedback.

The producer of the video alleges cases where any positive reviews of competing companies (i.e. those competing with their paying advertisers) were being deleted. This sort of practice is really a thorn in the side of sites that try to offer genuine customer feedback and is sad that it goes on, but I have no doubt that it does, just as I have no doubt that some reviews are posted by representatives of hosting companies as a form of shady marketing.

I suppose I have made this post in defence of my own humble site. I do not have the clout to pull in huge advertising checks from anyone and am like many small time affiliates attempting to make money by providing a useful service and platform for webmasters, bloggers and hosting customers. To this end, there is no table of top hosting companies. I do not believe any hosting company can be in “the top ten” or twenty or whatever, because every person buying hosting has uniquely individual needs.

There are no fake reviews or comments posted here and I am often surprised by the large number of reviews some sites manage to pull in. I’m sure that in some cases the ability to leave a review on a high ranking site is abused by those with an interest in tooting their own horn but then again maybe I’m just a tad too cynical! I myself have only written one review from first hand experience of my own hosting company who, I am pleased to say, have always performed admirably and never given me cause to shop elsewhere.

My recommendation for anyone shopping for hosting is to do your homework. We have links to many of the top forums as well, so you can ask your questions about particular companies and other people’s experiences. Be warned though -- like all forums they can be populated by trolls, snake oil salesmen and cheerleaders and you shouldn’t assume that all advice received in forums is either impartial or sometimes even very accurate.

If you have found this post useful, please leave us your own thoughts and comments, and if you have something to say about any of the companies promoted on our pages, we’d love to hear from you.

It is virtually impossible nowadays to miss the fact that Hostgator are one of the largest shared hosting providers out there. This makes writing a review of their services particularly difficult in the sense that there are a huge number of supporters and loyal customers together with a number of people who express dissatisfaction with the service. They are also heavily promoted because commissions for affiliates are generous.

Obviously, the bigger you get, the law of averages says that there are bound to be some users who will have a less than perfect experience and as with all hosting companies it must be borne in mind that users are sometimes the authors of their own problems when it comes to web hosting. In an attempt to give a balanced review of Hostgator we have tried to look at the supporters versus the naysayers in an even handed way.

Looking at service plans and prices, Hostgator have become popular because on a features to price ratio they stack up very well against the competition. There are four levels of shared hosting offered with cute names such as "Hatchling" and "Swamp" and they range in price from the $6.95 monthly to $14.95 with a semi dedicated server coming in at $74.95. The middle range plan, entitled "Baby" costs a very reasonable $9.95 per month and you certainly seem to be getting a fair bit for your money. All Hostgator’s plans offer C-Panel and Fantastico with a huge range of ready to install scripts (around 52 at the last count). At the "Baby" level you also get unlimited MySQL databases, PHP 4&5, 100GB of storage and 1000GB of data transfer – this all looks very impressive for the price. The uptime guarantee is 99.9% and all plans are "no contract" so in theory if you are in any way dissatisfied you can move with no strings attached. They claim 24/7 support which is pretty much a given these days but, on the face of the figures alone, the "Baby" plan offers a powerful package for the money. You can easily check the full packages at the Hostgator site which is very clear and easy to navigate, with an ’at a glance’ summary for potential customers.

If there are any downsides to using Hostgator they appear to be on the support side, and users often complain that they are a victim of their own success and that as they have grown some deterioration in service has appeared. By the same token, there are plenty of users willing to stand up and defend the host and claim a very high standard of support and this is a really difficult area to call. On the whole, it has to be said that there seem to be more supporters than those crying "foul". It is not a good sign that some general hosting forums are crowded with Hostgator users asking support questions – whether this is lack of knowledge on behalf of the users or genuine problems with the official channels is impossible to know with any certainty, but if it is indicative of support problems it’s something the company should address. To be fair, I have seen several incidents of customer complaints on an independent forum being addressed by the owner of the company himself through that forum, which suggests an awareness and willingness to talk that goes far beyond the normal official support channels in place, and has to be applauded.

However, a hosting company cannot be held accountable for the actions of its customers and on balance, Hostgator has become successful for a reason. Their pricing is competitive and their features comprehensive. The "Baby" plan offers a big bang for your buck and will probably be more than adequate for a very high number of users.

In the current marketplace they are certainly difficult to ignore and deserve a place on anyone’s shortlist. You can address any concerns you may have in a number of Web Hosting Forums where Hostgator are always a hot topic of discussion.

Overall a good no nonsense host offering value for money and, judging by positive feedback on the web, a good customer support infrastructure which occasionally suffers a hiccup but is generally satisfactory.

If you have something to add to this general review, your own experiences to share, we would love to read your comments about Hostgator .

As our first review, we thought it only fair to take a closer look at our own hosting company, knowing first hand exactly how they perform on a day to day basis.

Kiosk.ws are based in Canada and are a subsidiary of Telco Advertising and are a solid proposition. No worries about them disappearing overnight and taking your website along with them! They own their own data center which may not mean much to some, but it is a significant factor in a host’s ability to respond quickly to technical and hardware issues.

Let’s say, straight off the bat that Kiosk.ws are not in the market of “cheap offer hosting” – they are all about excellent service – customer and technical support are first class and one of the company’s proudest boasts. If you are intending to rely on your website for any kind of business, this is something you will have cause to appreciate and be thankful for many times over. They also offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Shared Hosting Packages

There are three shared hosting packages available from the company, designated Silver, Platinum and Titanium. The features of these are set out on the following pages of the company website

Titanium Shared Hosting – $44.95 monthly (first month $1 trial)

Platinum Shared Hosting – $24.95 monthly

Silver Shared Hosting – $18.95 monthly

As you can see, they currently offer the first month under the Titanium package for $1 – this is a no contract, no strings offer. If at the end of your first month you are not happy with the service for any reason you can cancel your account and go elsewhere. If you are unsure about the meaning of the table above, we would suggest you visit the site and talk to the company with any questions you may have.

We mentioned the support situation earlier, and one of the best features is the fact that you can access their 24/7 support using the very latest in VOIP conferencing technology. In a nutshell, this means a simple installation of the VOIP software on your PC and you can visit the live support room anytime – discuss your issues in real time live video and audio. This is a wonderful and unusual offering from any host and it means zero cost for you, no matter where you are in the world. As an added bonus you get your own room too which you can use for whatever you want – the implications for business and personal use are tremendous and can mean great monetary savings in terms of meetings and call charges. Of course, there is still email and phone support too and help desk tickets are normally answered within an hour – yes, they are that good.

Dedicated Server Hosting

For some, shared hosting is not desirable and Kiosk offer some of the best dedicated solutions on the net. Need a custom built Linux server to your own exacting specifications? Not a problem – Kiosk will work with you to ensure you get exactly what you need.

If you are looking for reseller hosting, they can help you with that too.

In Conclusion

If our review has sounded more like an advertisement we make no apologies for it. In our time with Kiosk, we have never been more than 100% satisfied with their service and support, and the ease of use (C-Panel and Fantastico for managing everything) which genuinely is 24/7. The testimonials on the site speak volumes about the service and the sense of community fostered among fellow webmasters makes for an even better user experience.

Since re-launching their corporate website last month, visitors can now physically ’use’ all of the marketing aids and hosting features right from the site and see exactly what they will be getting with their hosting deal. I’m not certain that any other host offers such a candid look behind all the gilded promises and can highly recommend a tour of the Kiosk.ws web hosting demo page.

In a world where you still get what you pay for, we consider Kiosk.ws hosting excellent value for money and recommend them highly for both new and seasoned webmasters and also in particular to online marketers whose requirements will often not be met by web hosts for a variety of reasons, and Kiosk have specialized in assisting many top level marketers over the course of their existence.

More detailed information about working with Kiosk.ws as a customer and an affiliate can be found at the in depth article over on my blog

Welcome to the Cayman Host web hosting directory. Our aim is to help you make an informed choice when it comes to your web hosting requirements. Our directory includes a variety of recommended suppliers offering a wide range of service choices and cost options.

It is obvious but only fair to point out that as an individual webmaster I cannot possibly have first hand experience of every hosting company listed here and I encourage visitors to leave their own reviews in the comments field after any review. This site runs on Wordpress and comments are all “dofollow” so if you leave us your own experiences and comments you will not only help others but also gain a backlink to your own site and to make the directory worthwhile I really do need your input. If you have something to say about a hosting company that has not yet had a review posted about it, please visit the Customer Hosting Reviews page and leave your feedback there. When we get around to reviewing the host in question we will move your review accordingly.

I will be constantly updating with reviews of individual hosting providers and informative articles about the industry. If there is anything you would like to see included, please do let us know.
