Advantages:
FuseBlast has proven to be a very reliable webhost with one of the best control panels available. They have a good balance between price and features, with a high bandwidth allotment of 25 GB and 550 GB of disk storage space. Unlimited subdomains and a SSL server are also a big plus. Their customer support staff has proven very responsive, with a quick turn-around time on trouble tickets.
Disadvantages:
With FuseBlast, even if you get the $6.95 / month special, the $29.95 setup fee that they charge on all new accounts really brings that up to about $8.20 / month. Hardly a special when you see all the other low cost web hosting accounts that are $7.95 or lower with no setup costs. Also, support is email only, so FuseBlast is targeted more for experienced webmasters who need very little help with using hosting features.
All in all, they are a reliable host at a fair price, but unless you specifically need the unlimited domain names or Telnet / SSH access, then you are probably still better off with a toll-free support host like iPowerWeb.
