Their website boldly claims to be hosting “200,000 accounts since 1999”, which is a great achievement. Omnis hosting is a very affordable web hosting service with lots of guarantees and several awards under their belt. For just $5.95 per month, Omnis provides a basic web hosting package including several unlimited options, such as disk space, data transfer, email accounts, hosted domains and MySQL databases.

If you buy a domain name from Omnis, you get free DNS management, URL forwarding, domain locking and domain proxy facilities. The conclusive observation about Omnis as a web hosting service is it shouldn’t be used for any websites which are critical for daily operations. For personal websites, blogs and small business websites without many e-commerce features, Omnis provides a good and reliable platform. With Omnis, you can expect to get exactly what you pay for.

Support Services

Unfortunately, Omnis lacks the popular 24/7 live customer support feature and customers often experience delays in technical support communication. But, a 24-hour toll-free telephone line is available. While emails and telephone calls are answered frequently, they are only handled during normal company working hours.  However, they have prepared an extensive knowledgebase, with over 1200 articles to help anyone with signing up, setting up and running their website on Omnis servers.

Web User Interface/Control Panel

Let’s just say there’s nothing to write home about – the control panel used by Omnis seems to be an exclusive interface. The features are regular and the control speeds are normal. Overall, the control panel is easy to use, has the necessary features and some extra technical aspects for anyone who loves to do more with their website. Straightforward and user-friendly, the Omnis control panel is easy for any user to navigate, whether beginner, intermediate or advanced.

Technical Features & Specifications

Offering both Linux and Windows based hosting services on load-balanced, cluster-based servers, Omnis provides most of their technical specifications in unlimited options. This means, if you select hosting with Omnis, you get unlimited data transfer, disk space, 24/7 FTP access, MySQL databases and MySQL users. With a 99.9% uptime and 30-day money back guarantee,  they have also provided a site builder tool, shared SSL, FrontPage extensions, virus & spam blockers for email, PHP 4 & 5, Perl 5, dynamic HTML, JavaScript, web statistics analyzer and multimedia capabilities.
