Host4geeks.com - Hosting overview

Overview

Host4Geeks presents itself as a lower-cost alternative to other popular companies, providing the same quality of service but for a lower price. The company provides services of Shared, VPS, and dedicated hosting solutions with some variations like semi-dedicated, WordPress, and Odoo hosting. Their site, however, seems sketchy as most of the services are presented in the same copycat way with little text to change between service types, and all of them are kind of lacking in detailed descriptions. A basic shared hosting allows hosting 1 website on 10GB disk space, 1GB RAM, 1 CPU, and unlimited bandwidth.

 A knowledge base is available along with tutorials, both are useful to get you on your feet or to clarify some of the questions.

As stated on the company’s website, the support department is online 24/7 with an average response time being under 40 minutes. You can contact them by email, phone, WhatsApp, feedback form, or by ticket. And by my test with a random set of technical questions, overall it took 10 minutes to deal with them all in a compelling way.

The data centers are rated TIER 1 to 3. Host4Geeks uses modern SSD drives to boost up server load speeds along with running servers on LiteSpeed with the appropriate caching addon. Cloudflare CDN is included to take that up to the next level. 

From a security perspective, the company provides free DDoS/BruteForce protection, malware scans, WAF firewalls, and 24/7 monitoring.CloudLinux with CageFS is used to better protect and isolate user accounts.

99.9% uptime guaranteed.

Scalability is not an issue for the company, as you can freely upgrade or downgrade your resources without a second of downtime. DashBoard in the client area is a tool for easy viewing your website status and stats. For VPS and dedicated servers there's an option of choosing between managed and unmanaged solutions.

WordPress and Odoo are supported and have a separate optimized plan specifically for these two CMS. The company provides free and managed website transfer.
