Host Geek provides affordable web hosting and pride themselves on superior Australian based customer service. They offer a range of hosting services including business hosting, email hosting, reseller hosting and streamed hosting for radio broadcasters.
Features:
Host Geek provide a high quality, reliable web hosting solution for small business and have an impressive selection of features, whether you are a beginner or expert.
Their basic hosting plans start from a very low $5/month which includes 10GB of bandwith, more than enough for a website beginner. Host Geek allow website owners a lot of flexibility to upgrade their plan if if website has additional requirements.
One feature that we think sets Host Geek apart from the rest is their Shoutcast hosting which allows radio stations to stream their broadcasts online. This can potentially increase the radio stations audience exponentially and is not a common hosting service provided by Australian website hosts.
Reliability:
Host Geek has a solid background in web hosting with over 6 years of experience in hosting Australian websites. They offer a 99.9% uptime and pride themselves on their fast servers based in Australia.
Support:
Host Geek offers 24/7 quality customer support based in Australia. They have every communication method conceivable including phone, email, livechat, call back and ticket support as well as a knowledgebase. We tested their phone support and found that they answered within a few rings.
Host Geek also are happy to transfer your hosting from an old hosting provider for free.
Overall:
Host Geek are clearly a low cost host. But what impressed us was the features and unbeatable support that came for such a competitive price. We found it hard to fault Host Geek and can see why website owners in Australia would be very happy with using Host Geeks services.
Have used these guys for the last 3 years and haven’t had any problems. Good customer service and not too expensive.
I have used the Host Geek shoutcast service to stream our community radio station online and have found that their service is excellent and also the online streaming was easy to get started. I rate highly!
