BeOnlineSolutions is a full IT solutions and services company that can help you with many different things. One of the services that they offer is web hosting, which is what this review will primarily focus on. The company is focused on providing hosting for customers throughout the Middle East including Peshawar, KPK, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The servers are located in the United States though, so this is an excellent option for those in the Middle East running sites directed toward US customers.
They have many different options to choose from, and operate only on high end servers and in a state of the art data center to help ensure their customers have a great experience. Overall, they have a good set of services that will help most individuals and companies get the hosting that they need at a price they can afford.
Uptime & Reliability
99.9% uptime guarantee
This company has a 99.9% server uptime guarantee, which is fairly typical for shared hosting companies. From what I have been able to find on social media and other sites, most people are quite satisfied with the level of reliability. Their servers are housed in a US based data center, which they appear to lease space from. This is often a great way to get a high quality data center experience without having to raise the prices significantly. They also use nice servers that are plenty strong enough to keep your sites up and running properly.
Features
Many great features
You can choose from a number of different web hosting packages to ensure you are getting exactly what you need for your sites. They offer both Unix and Windows servers so you can operate on the platform that you are used to. While they are all shared hosting solutions, they do have some pretty generous hardware specs for higher level packages.
They do provide just about everything you may want for your hosting, but if you are looking for extras like a dedicated IP address or an extra domain, that will cost you extra. This is only an issue for people who need more than what a typical website would require, but it is important to keep in mind when shopping for web hosting companies.
In addition to the web hosting, you can also use this company for web design and development, eCommerce development, domain registration, email hosting, corporate identity design, SEO services and more.
Support
Some limits on technical support
The technical support is available through phone, chat and email, but only from 9AM-11:30PM. They do allow you to submit tech support requests, but it is not clear whether or not they are responded to 24/7 or not. Since I have not seen any complaints about this, I would assume that they do respond at all hours.
Pricing
Only annual pricing available
The pricing is a little higher than you might expect for what you’re getting. Another problem is that they only allow annual payments, which many people won’t like. The prices range from $100 per year up to $400 per year.
Some of the add on options are also more expensive than you might expect. A dedicated IP address, which is often free with other companies is $25 extra per year. Overall, however, when you spread the payment out to a monthly price, they really aren’t too over priced compared to most companies, as long as you stick to just the basic hosting options.
Summary
Great company for Middle Eastern customers marketing to USA
