WebHostingHub.com Overview
In a world replete with web hosting services for webmasters on a budget, Web Hosting Hub sets itself apart by avoiding hidden fees even for the company's most inexpensive plan. With Web Hosting Hub you'll receive dependable web hosting services and you'll never pay for services you no longer need. If you're new to the world of web hosting or unsure of your long-term plans, Web Hosting Hub may be an ideal solution for you.
Pricing
Web Hosting Hub provides only one hosting package with different pricing structures based upon the length of the hosting contract. The company's pricing is competitive with other affordable web hosting packages. Web Hosting Hub's best premium add-on is its domain privacy feature which masks your information from the site's public profile so that you can enjoy additional privacy and security. The cost for this feature is 75 cents/month. You will be automatically charged for the domain privacy add-on unless you specifically uncheck the box before checking out.
Web Hosting Hub's plans are priced as follows:
| 12 Month Plan | 24 Month Plan | 36 Month Plan |
| $6.99/mo | $5.99/mo | $4.99/mo |
You should be aware that Web Hosting Hub's automatic renewal price is $8.95/month and that you will be automatically charged this higher price for a twelve month period at the end of your term unless you cancel your service.
Money Back Guarantee
Web Hosting Hub offers a full 90-day money back guarantee to all of its customers. If you're unsatisfied at any time within the first 90 days of your contract you can cancel your service and request a full refund. Some web hosting companies offer a similar guarantee but do not refund setup fees or domain fees. Because Web Hosting Hub does not have setup fees or domain registration fees you can actually receive 100% of your money back if you apply for the money back guarantee within the allotted time.

Ease of Use
Registration for a Web Hosting Hub account is relatively straightforward, even though the final steps of the setup require contacting the company's customer support system. Web Hosting Hub uses the cPanel control panel, which is among the easiest control panels to use. While some web hosts have made an effort to bring more popular applications as well as customer support phone numbers to the forefront of the cPanel, Web Hosting Hub leaves the cPanel in its standard form. Once a user plays around with it though, it shouldn't take very long to master easily.

I also attempted to set up an email address with my Web Hosting Hub account. The process was extremely straightforward.

Accessing the mail was also rather intuitive, and I was impressed to see multiple ways to check the email (through horde, SquirrelMail and roundcube). I chose SquirrelMail, and was delighted to see that my test email appeared only seconds after I sent it.

Customer Support
Web Hosting Hub offers multiple customer support options, all of which are professional and efficient. 24/7 customer support for technical problems and billing is available, but the phone support for sales is only available from 8am-12pm EST. I called customer support 5 times and was never on hold for more than 1 minute. The representatives were always courteous, knowledgeable and helpful.
Live chat is also available 24/7. One thing I specifically appreciated about Web Hosting Hub's chat support is that it offers an audible ping when you've been answered so that you needn't keep the chat box open on your screen. Although the system warned me that there may be a wait to receive a chat response, each of my chats was answered within 20 seconds.

In light of this phenomenal personal support, I was rather surprised to see that the self-help section of the site was hidden at the very bottom of the website. Once I found it, however, I was impressed to see dozens of easy to understand videos depicting a range of operations.
