Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Arlington Heights, Illinois, HostMetro specializes in shared web hosting services that combine affordability with ease of use. They primarily cater to individuals and small businesses seeking straightforward hosting with no hidden costs. Their signature Price Lock Guarantee distinguishes them from competitors by keeping renewal rates fixed for the life of the account. Other notable features include unlimited email accounts, cPanel access, free site migration, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
