Uptime & Reliability

Exceptional Uptime

You aren’t going to have any issues with downtime or outages caused by the systems with this hosting company. They have their servers operating out of a data center in Dallas, Texas that is very modern and safe. There are multiple power backup sources and network connections from multiple different telecos to ensure stability. They even offer a 99.99% uptime guarantee to help ensure you are never unavailable to your visitors.

Features

Quality Shared Hosting

All of the hosting packages available through this company are some type of variation on the shared hosting technologies. They break them up into three categories, beginner, business, and portal. Each of these offer a number of different packages with different features so you can be sure to get exactly what you need without over paying.

The basic level packages start by offering just 5MB of disk space and 250 MB of bandwidth. This is really only going to be good for very basic sites that get very little traffic. As you move up, the highest package in the beginner category offers just 50MB of disk space and 1 GB of bandwidth. This still isn’t a lot, but may be enough for a personal blog or a small business site that doesn’t rely heavily on driving web traffic.

When you get to the business category you will have 100MB-1GB of disk space and 2GB-10GB of bandwidth. None of this is a huge amount, but it should be enough for most businesses, especially if the site isn’t loaded with images or videos. In addition you will get unlimited add-on domains, sub-domains, email accounts, and more. Finally, at the portal level you get 2 gigs of disk space all the way up to unlimited disk space for the top option. Bandwidth is 16 gigs up to unlimited.

Support

Limited Info on Support

When looking through their site you will notice that they don’t provide too much information about the support they offer to customers. I haven’t seen people complaining about their tech support at all, which is a good thing, but it would be nice if they listed more information about what they can provide. They don’t even have a blog, FAQ, or knowledgebase to help users get the information they need.

Prices

Very Affordable Prices

When you look at the prices you will see why the features aren’t nearly as nice as many other hosting companies offer. The prices start at just $.50 per year. That’s right, 50 cents per year for the lowest level hosting package. Even the unlimited package at the portal level is only going to cost $50 per year, which is still remarkably cheap. Any individual or company that just needs a basic, but reliable, hosting company will want to give this option a look since they are so affordable. Also, Hostedium lists all their prices in both the US Dollar and the Pakistani Rupee for convenience.

Speed

Good Hosting Speeds

If you host with this company you aren’t going to have any real issues with speed. Of course, that is only going to apply if you only have a very basic site that relies mostly on text and some simple images. This is a budget hosting provider and if you understand that going in, speed won’t be an issue. Also keep in mind that while the hosting company is based in Pakistan, their servers are located in Texas. This means you only want to use them for hosting if the visitors you are targeting will primarily be coming from North America.

Summary

Quality Hosting at Bargain Prices

This hosting provider is definitely looking to attract customers who are trying to save money on their hosting solutions. While their prices are very low, the quality of the hosting is still quite high as long as you know what to expect. Anyone who only needs basic hosting features and a stable environment will be happy with this company.
