Hostmenow.org - Hosting overview

Overview

As of the time of writing, Hostmenow provides only two major types of hosting: Shared and VPS with the addition of servers for Minecraft. The basic shared plan will include 15GB of disk space, 1 Database, 50GB bandwidth, while VPS will have 1GB RAM, 1CPU core, 25GB storage, 1TB bandwidth. The site is compact and has barely enough information to describe the specifications of the solutions presented. A knowledge base is available from the client area, but it has only 4 articles.

HostMeNow provides 24/7 support that is available through live chat, email, feedback form, or by opening a ticket. I’ve tried to reach support with the first option, but a specialist just redirected me to a ticket, explaining that he doesn't understand my questions.

From what I could find on the site, Hostmenow implements little to no performance and security measures. For example, LiteSpeed boosts loading speeds for your site. And all of the servers are running on AWS infrastructure. The company provides complimentary antivirus, which is not specified.

Uptime guarantee is not specified as well.

Softaculuos is provided with every plan, so users can easily one-click install over 300 scripts, including various CMS platforms. Other than that, there is no other usability or QoL features that the company provides.

Hostmenow has an affiliate program with users participating profiting from the advertising company’s service and bringing new clients to it.

• DNS management and email forwarding free of charge;
• Free cPanel license ;
• SitePad website builder.

Although the company presents itself as a cheap hosting provider, the prices are still around the market average with the lowest price being 2.70$ for a starter plan. Although there is an option to buy a hosting for a year in advance, there isn't a discount. There arent any setup fees. At the time, there can be a promotional period with 30 day trial period

Refunds are provided for shared plans in the 30 days after purchase.
