• Competitive pricing

Cons

• No live support options
• Essential features only, with a few perks
• One-week free trial is shorter than most

The Verdict

Fozzy doesn’t offer in-depth support services or any live support options. Their trial period is also quite short compared to most hosts’ 30-day policies. However, the features they do offer are generous and priced fairly. For individuals, business site owners, and Forex traders, Fozzy offers basic plans that fit the bill.
