This web hosting provider was one of the first companies to offer 24/7/365 live technical support chat and toll-free phone support, along with Total Solutions Hosting, which gives you all the tools you need to create a powerful presence on the Internet. Apollo Hosting has been shown to be a consistent performer.

|
| All Apollo Hosting packages include free setup, free live 24/7/365 support, free Domain Names for life, a number of free software tools such as a Site Builder and web analytics tools. Apollo Hosting also gives users unlimited email addresses. In addition to UNIX and Windows hosting, Apollo Hosting offers a Virtual Private Network (VPN) server package. |

Customer Service
Apollo provides very good customer support for web hosting. Support is easy to access through several methods, including live chat. Unlike many web hosting companies today, they actually provide toll free support, although the customer relations team's performance falls below other top notch web hosting companies and could use some additional training. |

Price Value
Apollo Hosting's plan is decent compared to its counterparts in the industry. Besides offering all of the basic features expected from a host, they also offer several value-added features, including 4 web sites per account, advanced SPAM virus filtering by Postini, SpamGuard, Get Traffic Toolbox, and free sticky web content. Mind you, most good web hosts now offer similar features.

Control Panel
Depending on the plan you choose, Apollo Hosting utilizes three different but similar control panels: the Virtual Control Panel, Parallel's HSP control panel, and Parallel's Plesk Control panel. We have had good feedback in terms of the ease-of-use of these control panels, as well as the support offered for the many features that Apollo Hosting provides. |
