FatCow

FatCow is a long-running US-based hosting company founded in 1998 that focuses on extremely low introductory pricing and beginner-friendly shared hosting for startups, personal websites, and small businesses. The platform is best known for its "Original FatCow Plan," which bundles unlimited storage, unmetered bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, a free domain for the first year, free SSL, marketing credits, and a drag-and-drop website builder into a single low-cost shared hosting package.

FatCow also offers WordPress hosting, VPS hosting, and managed dedicated servers, though its core strength remains low-cost shared hosting rather than high-performance infrastructure. Independent reviews consistently describe FatCow as an attractive option for budget-conscious users who want lots of basic features at minimal upfront cost, while also warning that performance and uptime lag behind modern competitors.
