CoolHandle: http://doiop.com/CoolHandle oolHandle was founded by a group of IT Professionals lead in 2001 with a goal to introduce new standards in a fast changing world of web hosting. The company is one of the smaller companies offering shared web hosting as well as reseller accounts and Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting. In early 2010, CoolHandle is acquired by ProNetHosting.net and it’s currently managed by the combined team from both companies. My Review on CoolHandle Hosting CoolHandle has been around for some time. However, as it is fully acquired by ProNetHosting in January 2010, I take it as a brand new company. In other words, most CoolHandle reviews you read online are inaccurate. We got a free hosting account from CoolHandle in late 2010 and this review was written on Feb 2011. In case you are looking for updated details on this hosting company then our opinion should be helpful. We do not hold a CoolHandle account now. This review is written based on our usage experience in 2011/2012. Update October 2014 We got a shared hosting account from CoolHandle in October 2014 and are now tracking on the web host server performance. Please check uptime review below for more details. Update May 2014 Just yesterday I found out that CoolHandle had changed its pricing and hosting plans – I have updated the feature list at the sidebar and my rating since then. The company now offers only CloudLinux-based hosting (basically you can understand this as VPS hosting) and the price is $29.95/39.95/49.95/mo for Starter, Business, and Pro plans. There’s a tight limitation on number of domains and databases you can add to CoolHandle Starter and Business plans and basically I am not impressed by the changes (seems too pricey to me). What CoolHandle Has To Offer? Shared Hosting Plans Although CoolHandle offers reseller accounts and VPS hosting, their main focus appears to be shared hosting. There are three plans available: Starter, Business and Pro. All accounts include the basic features you would expect from any hosting company. These are: Unlimited storage space Unlimited bandwidth Free domain name Free setup cPanel control panel DNS management Custom error pages Instant backup/restore SSH shell access Statistics reporting Choice of shopping carts CoolHandle hosting accounts also support most of the popular software: Fantastico Phython PHP5 Custom PHP.INI Perl Ruby on Rails CGI scripts CRON jobs Multimedia files (Shockwave, Flash, etc.)
