Editor's opinion
Lorienz Galarpe
I am a website designer and developer for over 7 years now, and I worked with several hosting companies in the past for each website project I handle.
First impression
Fozzy is a US based hosting company, but they have data centers around the world. They offer both shared hosting options and VPS solutions. It seems that they only have two versions of each of these hosting options, which actually makes it quite easy to see what you’re getting into.
While this does limit the different configuration options to choose from, it is actually a lot easier to understand, especially for people who are newer to web hosting.
Trial period
Fozzy doesn’t offer a free trial in any of their services, helping customers build, grow, and maintain their business online is their top priority. And, they always make sure to strive more in improving their services to serve you better day-by-day. But, if you decide that the service you purchased is not suited to your requirements, you can get a 100% refund from the signup date.
Billing cycle
Fozzy pricing is about average for the hosting industry. What is a bit unusual (in a good way) is their openness regarding what it is you’re paying for. They make it a point to provide very detailed information about the specs of what you’re getting.
For example, many shared hosting providers just give you generic information about how much disk space you can get and things like that. Fozzy actually runs through the specs of the server that you are on, even for shared hosting.
Their billing cycle option only offers monthly payments.
Control panel
Fozzy cPanel provides the most reliable and intuitive server and site management platform. With a rich feature set and customer-first support, cPanel’s automated and configurable platform enables customers to focus on growing their businesses.
Limits
The name defines the service exactly – the server resources (processor, RAM, Internet connection), as well as software (web server, PHP) are shared by all users on the server, thus providing a low cost.
Similar to other hosting service providers, Fozzy shared hosting also has its limits such as number of Websites allowed, Storage, Database, Ram, and CPU.
Basic Shared Hosting Plan - can host only 1 website, 7GB SSD Storage, 1 Database, 1GB Ram, and 1 core cpu.
Highest Hosting Plan - can host unlimited websites, up to 100GB SSD Storage, unlimited database, up to 4GB Ram, and up to 4 core cpu.
Website builder
The website builders were originally created as a simple tool for making websites without any additional help from designers and developers. However, as time passed, the most popular solutions became more complicated, justifying their high prices. As a result, you need the help of professionals to work with these technologies nowadays.
Fozzy Website Builder is intuitive, so you don’t need any special knowledge to work with it. You don’t have to take online classes, read complicated documents, or hire a specialist. You will be able to implement your own ideas on your website with the help of their Website Builder.
Security
Website security refers to the measures taken to secure a website from cyberattacks. That may include protecting a website from hackers, malware, scams or phishing, and errors.
An SSL certificate displays important information for verifying the owner of a website and encrypting web traffic with SSL/TLS, including the public key, the issuer of the certificate, and the associated subdomains.
OS
Fozzy fast hosting will suit sites with high traffic, as they use the smart CloudLinux OS to divide server resources between users. This means that the traffic of other accounts will not affect your website operation in any way, and that no one will "steal" your RAM or processor.
Also they have Linux OS and Windows OS services. This hosting service is suitable for anyone who prefers to administer their server or have their own system administrator.
Support
Their technical support is actually well qualified, and once they get started on a problem, it seems they are able to fix it fast. The live chat support window is amazing, they are available 24/7 and their tech support agent is knowledgeable in just a couple of seconds they are able to get back to answer any questions or inquiry.
Using their ticketing system, however, they typically respond quickly and get the problem fixed. They also offer a number of self-help options so you can avoid common problems.
