General Impression
Apollo hosting has been around for several years. It’s one of the oldest web hosting companies out there. It offers everything other web hosting companies offer, but nothing more. Their web hosting plans are also quite expensive compared to that of other companies and their brand does not justify the price that they are offering to potential clients. Apollo does offer redundant connections and it does this through several providers such as GlobalCenter, Qwest Communications and Genuity.

Price and Cost Effectiveness
Apollo web hosting plans starts at $13.96 with a 2 year commitment. This pricing is above average compared to the rest of the industry. The rest of the plans continue from this price and goes up. The features they provide for their plans are also up too par with that of competitors including SSH Access, SSL, and MySQL. Their PHP also includes the Zend Optimizer. The only issue we have is with the version of the software they are using. They are using an older version of MySQL, and they never both upgrading it. This is a significant problem because certain older software have security hazards, which needs to be fixed with a newer version of the software. Furthermore, on a positive note they include Postini Spam filter and Miva Merchant in all of their web plans.

Data Center
Apollo Hosting has connections to Frontier's GlobalCenter, Qwest and Level3. These are all top tier internet backbone providers. The combination of these network, make their web hosting stable and fast.

Customer Service
Apollo hosting customer support was below competent compared to that of other web hosting companies. However, they do provide a toll-free number that you can dial from Monday to Friday from 8 – 5 PM, which are standard business hours. On top of that, they offer 24 hour chat service that allows us to communicate with them. However, several times when we used the service we were never connected to an operator.

Control Panel
As in all other areas, Infinology continues to impress with their master control panel. The "User Guide" provided us with everything we needed to know from starting my account to activating statistic logs. There is also a nice tool called Infinology Website Studio that allowed a couple of our partners to make very impressive websites with only a few clicks. Furthermore, with the e-commerce options we were able to create an online store ready to accept credit cards immediately. Our only requirements were to fill out a few forms and we were done in a matter of minutes.

Overall
Apollo Web hosting has fast connections and reliable connections to the internet, but its lack of customer support and high pricing pushes their score down a few notches. Overall, Apollo Hosting is a competent web hosting provider providing you with good plans and customer service, but you can get this with other providers paying only half the price. We suggest you try other companies, and only use this company as a last resort.
