GlowHost has been around since 2002 offering their thousands of clients one of the most reliable hosting solutions on the web today. Unlike the apparent current trend with companies that are only trying to maximize profits and cut back on expenses, GlowHost delivers a premium service to their clients through their high-end hardware and multi-homed tier-1 bandwidth, as well as supporting the Green Hosting initiative to create more environmentally-friendly solutions to your hosting needs.

When shopping for a web hosting provider for your site, one of the hardest tasks has always been predicting what their service will be like after you’ve signed up. Often the pre-sales department of many companies will be much more responsive than the support department, leaving you with a problem should you actually need help. As proof that this is not the case here, in addition to their noteworthy 99.9% network and hardware guarantee, GlowHost also offers a full 60-day no questions asked money-back guarantee should you be unsatisfied with their service. This goes a long way in showing that they are very confident you will be completely satisfied with their performance and customer service.

Performance Tiered Hosting

With GlowHost’s focus being on providing high performance hosting at reasonable rates, packages are divided between different performance tiers. The Budget Shared Hosting, which offers large amounts of space and bandwidth is geared towards non-critical sites such as blogs, personal sites, or family photo galleries. For those planning on running a small business website or a site where reliability and performance are more of a concern, then the Advanced and Professional packages will place you on a server with 50% or 75% less accounts, thus increasing stability and giving you more access system resources. These also are good packages to start designing and establishing a video-sharing site on where you can move up to the Semi-Dedicated slices as your site becomes more popular (more info ahead…).

Semi-Dedicated Slices

For those of you wanting to run a demanding website such as a busy forum, public image gallery, or ffmpeg-based script such as Clip-Share and PHPMotion, the Semi-Dedicated slices provide a novel way to purchase quality allocated resources without the complexities (and cost) of a VPS or dedicated server. You purchase “slices” of the dedicated server, with each individual server only hosting a maximum of 30 slices. On a given site you can purchase more than one slice to increase the necessary drive space and bandwidth, such that if are using three slices, you are allocated 10% of the server’s resources to be used by your site alone. This provides the most stable environment as you are guaranteed to only be sharing the server among a very limited amount of other sites. If you plan on running a video-sharing site, this will be a perfect platform for you.

Two Months Free!

GlowHost has recently launched their 2-months free promotion applicable on shared hosting packages including the Semi-Dedicated Slices. This is a great way to purchase three months of service for the price of one month. Keep in mind, you are also guaranteed by their 60-day money-back guarantee, so if you have any problems you can ask for a refund with no questions asked, giving you no reason to not try them out if you are in the market. Additionally, we have two coupons that will also give you the two months free promotion as well as free installation of either the Clip-Share or PHPMotion video-sharing scripts. All their plans support ffmpeg and mencoder conversion.

Of course, once you’re ready, GlowHost also offers a plethora of VPS and managed, unmanaged, and unmetered bandwidth dedicated servers to move up to, giving you the peace of mind knowing you will be in good hands once your site really starts to take off and you need to upgrade to a permanent and performance hosting solution without having to change providers.
