Exclusivehosting.net - Hosting overview

Overview

Although the company’s focus is on dedicated servers, there are other hosting solutions of VPS, cloud hosting, and specific CMS hosting. The most basic cloud plan offers unlimited bandwidth, disk space, and the ability to host 1 domain. For VPS it is not so unlimited, with 30GB disk space, 1TB traffic, 1GB ram, and 1CPU core. The site is modern, although complex in its design and the way how information is presented. You can easily get lost because of it. A knowledge base is available from the client area, under the name of “help center”. It has over 100 articles, that answer various technical questions and topics.

The company provides its clients with 24/7/365 support that can be reached over by phone, live chat, feedback form, or by opening a ticket. Phone support working hours can differ from country to country. Live chat UI in general looks old and outdated, like it's straight from 2007. But, looking past the design, I’ve contacted a specialist and he answered me pretty fast, answering all of my questions in 10 minutes

ExclusiveHosting cares about security and performance providing clients with multiple measures to ensure it. Let’s take a look at some of them. Different firewalls, Hotlink protection, jailhost. Multiple web servers/accelerators are used like LiteSpeed, Apache, and Redis with their respective caching add-ons, and are different depending on the plan. Other caching methods like ZFS compression are used too. Different virtualization plans are used, either KVM or OpenVZ. All of the servers are in some way or another utilizing cloud infrastructure. Free backups are provided and are different from plan to plan.

The company promises an uptime of 99.9%.

As usual, softaculous is provided allowing for an easy one-click installation of supported CMS platforms or other scripts of your choosing. These can include WordPress, Joomla, Prestashop, and other various platforms. Detailed stats of your server can be viewed from the control panel. Other than that, hosting supports a variety of development environments like PHP, Python, Ruby, Git, SVN, and so on. If you want, you can purchase a server management service, letting your server be managed by the hands of a specialist. If you decide on moving to exclusive hosting, you will be assisted by a support professional.

Users are granted Root/SSH access, but not for Hespia.

• Altough there isn't a separate reseller plan, you can retrofit your VPS as one. On the other hand, Exclusive hosting offers an affiliate program, by participating in it users can profit from bringing new clients to the company and advertising it;
• Custom-made Hespia control panel;
• Website builder included;
• Sadly, the company does not include free SSL certificates.

For a company with such a name, it’s a real wonder that the prices stay, for the most part, at the level of the market average. You can get a shared solution for yourself at the price of 2.95$ per month. But take notice that shared plans are only available by yearly periods. These plans, almost as a compromise come with a 30-day free trial period. Every plan is eligible for a refund in 30 day period after the purchase.
