Fastest growing provider
Independent recognition, every era since 2002.
Built a reputation the slow way: one customer, one independent review, one award at a time.
Most hosting awards today are pay-to-play. A company writes a check, gets a badge, and slaps it on the homepage. Ultra's awards come from a different era and a different process: independent directory sites and review platforms (WebHostRanking, WebHostDir, HostReview, HostSearch, FoundHost.com, CompareWebHosts.com) that ranked providers on uptime, support quality, value, and growth, not on who paid for placement.
Earning a place on those lists in 2003, 2005, 2008, and 2014 took the same thing it takes to keep a 4.9 Shopper Approved rating in 2026: showing up every day, answering tickets fast, and not breaking sites. Learn more about Ultra, or see the hosting plans the awards were earned on.
Recognized across the industry
Awards for performance, value, growth, and ethics.
From the very first Top 50 placement in November 2003 to the WebHostRanking Best Scalable Hosting award in 2014, Ultra has been independently recognized in every category that matters: how fast it ranks, how affordable it stays, how reliably it runs, and how it treats customers.

FAQ
What customers ask about Ultra's awards and reputation.
The questions our sales team gets every week. If yours isn't here, drop us a line.
How long has Ultra Web Hosting been in business?
Ultra Web Hosting has been providing reliable hosting services since 2002, making us one of the longest-running independent hosting providers with over two decades of experience. We started as Flux Services with one goal: to build a better web hosting company. Learn more about our story.
What awards has Ultra Web Hosting won?
Ultra has earned over 15 industry awards including WebHostRanking Best Scalable Hosting (2014), WebHostDir Best of Shared Hosting and #1 Budget Hosting (2008), HostReview #1 Fastest Growing Provider (2005), HostSearch Top-Rated 4.0 GPA, FoundHost.com Gold Star Host, and multiple Top 10, Top 15, and Top 25 host rankings from HostReview across 2003 through 2007.
Is Ultra Web Hosting a reliable hosting provider?
Yes. Ultra maintains a 99.9% uptime guarantee backed by more than two decades of operational experience. We own and operate our own servers, have on-site technicians in our own datacenter, and provide 24/7/365 technical support with an average response time of just 12 minutes.
What is the Hosting Code of Ethics?
The Hosting Code of Ethics was an independent industry program that verified hosting providers against a published set of ethical business standards: transparent pricing, honest advertising, fair refund policies, and clear terms of service. Ultra was admitted as a member in August 2008 after independent verification. The program no longer accepts new members, but the practices it audited remain core to how Ultra operates today.
What did WebHostDir's #1 Budget Hosting recognize?
WebHostDir's #1 Budget Hosting award recognized providers that delivered premium-tier shared hosting performance at the most competitive price points in the industry. It looked at uptime, support response time, feature set, and price-to-performance ratio. Ultra won the award in October 2008 alongside Best of Shared Hosting placements in September, October, and November of the same year.
Why do these awards from 2003 through 2014 still matter?
Most hosting providers from that era no longer exist, were acquired and rebranded, or were absorbed into large conglomerates. Ultra is still independently owned and still operates under the same name, with many of the same team members, on hardware we own. The awards prove a track record across multiple eras of the industry, not a single recent marketing push.
How does Ultra compare to today's hosting awards and review sites?
Today the most meaningful third-party recognition comes from independent customer review platforms rather than directory sites. Ultra holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating across 312 verified Shopper Approved reviews, which is the current independent measure of customer satisfaction. The historical industry awards on this page show the same consistency of service quality stretching back to 2002.
Where can I see customer reviews and testimonials?
Customer testimonials are collected on the testimonials page, which gathers real client feedback from across the years. The 4.9 Shopper Approved rating is independently verified by the Shopper Approved review platform, which collects feedback from verified Ultra customers only.
