What I like about Hosting24:

1. Pricing Structure:

The plan contains BitNinja Smart Security along with SpamAssassin Protection included for free.

The other more advance plans start at the pricing of $8.84 per month and $11.99 per month. These plans include unlimited websites with Unlimited SSD space.

Also, the basic plan supports a bandwidth of 100 GB. With other plans the disk space, as well as the bandwidth, is unlimited.

This is something that not many shared hosting provides a guarantee. The servers are constantly monitored to address any sudden downtime issues.

Note: We have stopped measuring Uptime of this hosting for the time being. But whatever we have recorded that we have listed above.

4. Money-back guarantee:

Hosting24 provides a 30-day risk-free trial period. This is irrespective of the plan you choose.

This allows users to try the services before completely committing to it and the user would get a complete refund.

5. Added Security:

Hosting24 provides good support for security features in the basic plan.

The basic plan includes BitNinja Smart Security which provides protection against most popular forms of attacks such as XSS, DDoS, malware, script injection, brute force, and other automated attacks.

Additionally, this also contains SpamAssassin Protection to filter and protect emails by blocking spam. This supports SSL certificates and daily backups at a separate price.

6. Email Support:

Email hosting is included as part of every plan you choose. This uses cloud SMTP delivery to ensure smooth and reliable delivery.

With no added cost, you can get an email Id similar to your domain. While the basic account supports 1 email account, the other plans support unlimited email accounts.

7. Domain Checker:

Using the domain checker, you can find the perfect matching domain. The tool helps in finding the availability of the required domain name within seconds. This makes the domain registration extremely simple.

Domain_Checker_Hosting24

This also provides other viable options for the domain name. In case your choice of the domain name is not available, the intensive matching provides multiple closest options. Thereby helps to scope out better domain naming conventions with domain checker.

8. Free Domain:

A free domain is part of a Premium or Business hosting plan purchased for 12 months or longer duration. A free domain name is included for the first year.

Free_Domain_Hosting24

This is a beneficial option in case you are planning to choose a longer duration plan.

9. Good cPanel Support:

Hosting24 support hPanel as well as cPanel. This includes tools for emails, file and MYSQL database management. The cPanel provides some useful analytics along with SEO optimization tools.

The cPanel has support for SSH, SSL, Cron Jobs, and many others.

Hosting24-cpanel1

It has one-click installation for several apps and is used for installing WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop and scripts for E-commerce, Content Management, Community building to name a few.

Hosting24-cpanel2

Using cPanel, users can create their own complete or partial backups in addition to the weekly automatic backups.

The cPanel is equipped with additional security features that can be quickly enabled. Some of these features include- Password Protect Directories, IP Allow Manager, Hotlink Protection.

The cPanel is well segregated with different options.

10. Easy to Use Website Builder:

The integrated website builder makes creation and hosting of website simple. This is extremely easy to use with its drag and drop feature and can be easily used by beginners.

It simplifies responsive website building and SEO optimization.

website_builder_hosting24

The website builder is user-friendly with multiple template support for websites, blogs, and e-commerce portals. This is fully customizable and requires no coding effort.

What I would like to see on Hosting24:

1. Basic Add-ons missing:

While there are several benefits included in the plan and few added security features included for free as part of the plan, basic add-ons like SSL certificate are charged separately for the low end priced plans.

Single_hosting_SSL_HOSTING24

Similarly, domain registration has separate pricing. Daily backups are charged separately. Website migration is not part of the plan and is charged separately.

2. Higher Renewals:

Hosting24 provides cheaper first-time plans. The locking period for the cheaper plans is more. Renewals for each plan is higher. The more advanced the plan is, the more is the renewal pricing.

3. Live Chat:

Hosting24 has good customer support, however, something that is missing is a live chat option.

A live chat option allows users to quickly resolve issues and is the easiest way to get queries answered. They ensure 24/7/365 dedicated support which is only through an inquiry form available over the website.

However, on a positive note, you can reach them through email or Inquiry form available over the website.

In addition to this, they also provide a dedicated knowledge base, FAQ section and a series of blogs to understand what is trending. The knowledge base is well segregated and easy to browse.

Hosting24 Review: CONCLUSION

With this, I have provided you a list of features along with pros and cons of using Hosting24. This is a good choice for beginners, for a fact that it is simple to use.

If you are looking for support to a fairly simple and medium traffic based website, then Hosting24 is worth giving a try.

A fact is, this is nominally priced as compared to several hosting platforms and would be a good choice in case you do not worry about paying separately for a few add-ons.

The cPanel and website builder caters to rapid website development. Moreover, they have a 30-day money back guarantee which makes it easier to try this out.
