Prices:
One.com has cheaper hosting, though they have a limited selection. They have a starter plan that starts at just $.25/month that comes with basic features, perfect for small blogs or email hosting. Their next cheapest plan, the Professional plan, starts at $2.50/month. FatCow, on the other hand, has shared hosting plans for a little over $4.00/month ($49.00/year).
Conclusion:
FatCow, as you can see, has a much wider range of plans. If you are looking for VPS, dedicated, or any hosting that isn’t shared, of course One.com is not the host for you. However, for shared hosting, One.com has a few advantages over FatCow hosting. First of all, they have cheaper prices, and their $.25/month Starter plan is definitely appealing for certain hosting endeavors. Also, their set-up is extremely easy and you can get sites up and running quickly. One the other hand, FatCow has a longer money-back guarantee, as well as a 99.9% uptime guarantee. This one could go either way.
