User experience
...
We were able to perform 10 simultaneous FTP transfers, which is outstanding and makes site maintenance extremely fast.
Globat uses their own proprietary control panel called “The Globat Command Console". This control panel has everything you need. Unfortunately it also has occasional upselling popups which is extremly annoying when you’re trying to get something done.
Database management with phpMyAdmin is available through the command console.
Customer satisfaction
Customer feedback tells us that the pricing is attractive but the support could be improved. “You get what you pay for” is being cited over and over again.
Customers have also complained about too many upselling messages.
Technical specs
- PHP version: 4.4.8 – Up to date but the default should be PHP5
- MySQL version: 4.1.7 – We would prefer MuSQL 5.
- GD library: 2.0.28 – ok.
Security
Globat uses mod_suPHP which effectively isolate their clients from each other and provides good security.
SFTP is not available.
Overall security is good.
