Hostpoco.com - Hosting overview

Overview

HostPoco’s website appears light and made with usability in mind, although there are some minor bugs like missing pages. They offer almost every kind of vital hosting solution: Domain registration and transfer, different types of shared hosting, VPS, and dedicated solutions. . A lot of free features are included in the hosting plans. A knowledge base and a FAQ section are available on the company’s website, but, the knowledge base has only 6 articles at the time, while FAQ section is mostly pre-sales questions.

Support department working hours are stated as 7:30 PM to 12:30 PM EST. You could contact them by live chat, ticket, or email. Tested response time is 5 seconds for the first reply, and a total of 6 minutes to deal with all of my questions.

Support is divided into 4 tiersю

HostPoco provides DDoS protection, Antivirus software, Zend, and Cloudflare. Free daily backups are also included in every plan.

Additionally, the company servers support CloudLinux, and Litespeed, which in turn greatly boost up overall performance for every user on a server.

The company promises 99.99% uptime.

Softaculous is integrated into every hosting plan, allowing for easy installing of CMS platforms, scripts, and so on. HostPoco is one of the few companies that still support HDD drives and offers cheap HDD hosting.

As one of their benefits, the provider promises unlimited web space and bandwidth, as long as the use falls under ToS. Free managed website transfer is available with HostPoco specialists taking that task into their hands.

Attracta SEO tool is available for increasing your website search engine rating.

HostPoco offers both a reseller service and an affiliate program, so customers could earn some profit by selling or advertising HostPoco services under their own name.

• Free SSL for every plan;
• Free cPanel with shell/root access, excluding the basic plan;
• Windows hosting, powered by Plesk;
• Email service.

As a company that presents itself as cheap hosting, its prices fall under that definition. You can get shared hosting free of charge, providing you have a registered domain name. You can get shared hosting for as low as 1$ a month, but to get an even lower price, you’d have to pay annually, but most of the plans are only available like that. 

The refund period is active for 30 days after the purchase.

Payment can only be made through PayPal.
