A young Ukranian hosting company started out in 2009, providing a collection of services. Main countries of operation are: Slovakia, Ukraine, Germany, Russia and the US, in that order. Here’s some of the services they provide: Domain registration and transfer, Cloud VPS, dedicated server hosting along with Slovak center collocation. Their data centre is located in Kiev, Ukraine and is rated TIER 3.
Overview
Although their site appears to be more on the old-fashioned side, don't be fooled by appearances as they are sure to provide excellent service. This includes, Cloud VPS and Dedicated hosting solution, but in addition to that list Unixhost offers a huge variety of domain zones, including some of less known or local zones which can be of use to small businesses. Company also offers a not so common microservice VPS/VDS, needed for really small projects like bots or a VPN server.
Support
9.0
Although I could find any information regarding the support department working hours, you can contact them by means of online chat, phone, email or through a ticket. I took the route of online chat and got a compelling answer in less than 5 minutes. Sadly, their knowledge base is accessible only in Russian and is of little help to non native users.
Reliability
6.0
VPS servers only utilize SSD drives, making them load much faster compared to HDD, boosting your performance. Another great feature is that all VPS are running on cloud technology, providing additional security and stability to your website, although we could not find stated server uptime anywhere.
Backup time is not stated anywhere either so I had to ask tech support and have got an answer of backups being done weekly, but for an additional charge, you can ask them for a more frequent option.
Unlike other companies, UnixHost does not provide a free SSL certificate, and you have to buy one from them or source it from somewhere else.
User Friendly
5.0
Take notice of the fact that you’d have to install a CMS yourself, as there is no option of an included cms, yet, although you can use UnixHost’s own website builder. Site migration is done completely for free, with support personnel taking this task, so you can work on more important issues.
Scalability, should your website gain its much deserved attention, you can easily accommodate it with more resources. Company’s site also presents its users with a friendly slider design for choosing desired hardware and location.
Company does not provide server management service.
Features
9.0
Hosting comes with added features of allowing users to create as many subdomains and mailboxes as they want. Servers support Apache, Cloudlinux and Nginx. You can get a free VestaCP control panel, although you can choose between paid ISPmanager, cPanel or DirectAdmin.
VPS server work only on Unix based OS, while dedicated servers can use Windows OS along with listed Unix OS
Not many companies offer microservice VPS, which is a definite plus for someone looking to host something very small.
Pricing
7.0
The prices are tame, even being a little lower than the market average while offering relatively the same experience and quality. Starting from 5.87$ on VPS, and even if you start low on resources, you can always increase them. The trial period seems minimal and only being 5 days
Payment can be made in USD, EUR, RUB, UAH currencies and through numerous payment systems like: Paypal, Webmoney, Liqpay, Alfa-click, Qiwi and interkassa
