Globat.com Review

Globat.com Thumbnail

Background

Business Name: Globat Web Hosting

Company Owner: the Endurance International Group

Year of foundation: 2001

Location: Burlington, Massachusetts, USA

BBB Accreditation: No

Market Size: > 4K websites (#79 in HRank list)

Growth Status: (by websites quantity): Decreasing

Minimalistic in web design and range of services, Globat.com has a quality that is difficult to ignore: their motto – ‘Web Hosting Made Simple’ – is true, as the only service they provide is shared hosting.

It has more than 17 years of experience, and it is based in the US and has two data centers in Boston, MA.

It is worthy of note that centers were acquired by the Endurance International, a hosting giant that owns such Globat counterparts as FatCow and BlueHost.

It appears that the acquisition played a significant role in the changes the Globat service quality underwent.


Offers and Pricing

Shared Hosting Plans
Name Domains Disk Bandwidth Min Price Billing Term
GX01 Unlim Unlim Unlim $12.95 36 Mo
GX19 Unlim Unlim Unlim $19.99 12 Mo

There are 2 shared plan offers: GX01 and GX019.

GX01 has a promo price offer of $4.44/mo, however, it renews at the regular price of $14.95/mo – for a 1-year plan, $13.95/mo (2 years) and $12.95/mo (3 years). No monthly payment plan options are offered for this plan.

GX019 does not have any promo price offers: it is only $19.99/mo paid once and for a 1-year plan.

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee is a great benefit of Globat services.

The provider also offers:

  • Website Management,
  • Email Services,
  • E-Commerce Services,
  • Marketing Services,
  • Design Services and more.

The feedback about the company is mostly negative. There are many a customer telling the same story: the hosting provider used to be a good one when it was owned by the couple that had founded it in 2001, but then it went downhill.

The uptime leaves much to be desired, the customer support department is not helpful, and there are account management problems (like having to make a call to cancel subscription – simply canceling it online won’t do).

The few positive reviews supporting Globat.com are outnumbered by negative ones to such an extent that one may start having second thoughts about signing up. Still, there are those satisfied with the service, and they are really wondering why the storm of anger. And so we were.

Globat Summary Analysis by HRank

Globat’s HRank in 2018 was 8.8 and it appeared in the 13th position of our list; for the 2019 year provider had 7.7 HRank with 45th position.

The provider showed a pretty good performance in 2018. December 2019 was a really bad month in uptime (just 99.520%).

Its response time has also been fairly stable, if not perfect (around 800ms), however, it has never been slow. It got a bit faster at the beginning of December (~600ms) and then again slower (~700ms).

The number of domains is decreasing: 1,200 domains for the 2019 year.
