Overview
The company provides solely shared hosting solutions. Because of this, HBHosting’s website is small, compact, and has only a few sections, but the company compensates for that with a catchy, modern design.
The basic shared plan, called "starter" offers 10GB of disk space, 200GB of bandwidth, 1CPU core, 1GB RAM, 5 Email accounts, and 5 databases.
There is a knowledge base available from the client area, it contains less than 30 articles.
Support

As stated on the site, the tech support department is online 24/7 and you can contact them by live chat or by opening a ticket. I’ve tried out getting support through live chat and can say that my questions were answered quickly and mostly in a detailed way. Overall it took around 10 minutes for a specialist to answer all of my questions.
Reliability
8.0
The company provides free daily backups for every one of the plans. The backups are stored off-site. HBHosting employs some security and performance measures. LiteSpeed and CloudFlare for better caching to boost upload speeds. For better security, there are exploit scanner, custom firewall, and brute force/DDoS protection. The company promises 99.99% uptime.

Instead of softaculous, Installatron is provided as an alternative, with pretty much the same functions of one-click installation of supported scripts. WordPress is heavily supported as a feature. Free migration can be ordered, with a specialist taking that task. Multiple developer environments are supported like Ruby, Python, Node.Js, and Git.
Users are granted SSH access on request.

Pricing
4.0
HBHosting lists the prices in AUD and it’s not surprising, as it is a local Australian company. The cheapest plan, in this case, called the “Starter”, costs 6 AUD. Unusually so, the company does not provide a discount on yearly plans. There are no setup or installation fees. Refunds are only eligible in case of faulty service, or in case of encountering problems with your service.
