Although WebHosting Pad provides their services only since 5 years, they managed to become a provider with outstanding price value. Their everything-unlimited plan from $1.99 /month (if signed up as a 4-year plan) offers super-high quality. Thinking of the $200 in marketing bonuses, a 30-day-money-back guarantee and a 99.999% uptime guarantee, this is on top of today's web hosting offers. Their state-of-the-art data center and server infrastructure offers highest security and a strong performance and reliability. Deploying the industry-favourite cPanel is certainly a good choice as a control panel. WebHostingPad's 24/7 toll-free customer support provides clients with a very high standard of assistance. We like the free 30-minute consultation with an web expert to help beginners to get their site up and running.

In conclusion it can be said, that WebHostingPad.com achieved their goal of offering the highest price value by outstanding low prices, but a very high level of features and performance.
