Control Panel

Globat has a control panel called Globat Command Console (GCC). This control panel features 4 main functions: managing email accounts, databases, protected directories and web statistics. It is not as functional as some other control panels, but it is sufficient for the typical web administrator.

Support

Globat provides several different avenues for you to take to get support for your account. The most commonly used is their Live Chat, but they also have other support channels that help answer your questions. These include:

  • FAQ's
  • Tutorials
  • Quick Set-up Guide
  • Support Ticket

One unique feature that Globat.com provides is the "Call me Back" service, where you can have someone from their support team call you back at a time defined by you. The overall support provided by globat.com is good for the most part, but there have been complaints in "lag time" for email responses. Some believe that growth may be a higher priority for Globat than customer retention.

Reliability

Globat's new B2 hosting platform features the redundancy and backup found only at top-level, commercial Data Centers. B2 is capable of distributing various areas and functions of your website across multiple servers; each one manages a different application for optimum performance. Some other hosting companies run numerous applications on one server, thus increasing the likelihood of failure. Their uptime is guaranteed to be 99.9%.

In Summary
Overall, Globat provides a feature based, reliable web hosting service that exceeds the median of the hosting industry. Their focus on growth vs. customer support can be seen as a drawback, but the rest of the hosting attributes are pretty comparable to the top hosting providers. Globat web hosting packages receive an overall ranking of 3.5/5.
