The company was founded in 1998 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The company was one of hundreds of website hosting companies and didn’t do anything to really stand out from the crowd. But in 2008, that all changed. Fatcow created the “Heifercratic Oath”, which pushed forward three new initiatives that have turned into one of the most popular web hosting companies in the world.
- Local, United States Customer Support – chances are you’re already frustrated when you make a call to your web host for help. So it’s refreshing to know that Fatcow is using money from its customer to create jobs locally to help their customers.
- Answering calls in one minute – It no longer costs an entire evening waiting on hold to get help from tech support.
- Ease of Use – setting up a website can be a daunting task if you’re not familiar with any coding or programming languages (like me!). You can build a website in a just a couple of minutes. Also, Fatcow has a drag and drop website builder where you can visually set up your webpages with no knowledge of code whatsoever.
User Reviews of FatCow
The reviews give it an overall score in the middle, but when you look at the Fatcow individual reviews it seems like they score either very high or very low, which lands them with an overall score in the middle which I don’t think is actually very accurate or fair. After reading through a few of the reviews I wanted to write some of the people who wrote the super low scoring reviews back about adjusting their expectations in terms of what they are owed by a company offering them very low-priced shared hosting plans. I think this is a common problem when budget web hosting intersects with customers who are novice website developers and don’t have a great understanding of how servers and web technologies work.
