Webhostingpad.com - Hosting overview

Overview

WebHostingPad offers mainly Shared solutions but has separate VPS plans. These solutions included usual shared, WordPress, and Mini hostings. VPS hosting solutions are also available, but they are provided by a sister company - VPSdepot. Plan resources are not specified, only vague descriptions, but you have unlimited disk space, bandwidth, and domains to host as many websites as you want, as long as everything falls under TOS. VPS is a little bit more detailed. The basic plan has 80GB disk space and 250GB bandwidth with 2 additional IPs
The site in question is nicely designed and compact, but lacking in more detailed descriptions. A knowledge base is available on site, having over 100 articles concerning hosting matters.

While the tech support department is online 24/7, other departments working hours are 8 AM to 5 PM CST Monday to Friday. You can contact them by email, ticket, live chat, or by calling them during working hours. Specifically, tech support phone working hours are different, being 8 AM to 5 PM CST. Overall the response times were quick, and the answers were compelling enough by my experience, in total taking around 10 minutes to deal with all of them.

Due to the compactness of the site, there’s not a lot of detailed info about security or stability measures that the company takes. The only information regarding these available on the site is custom firewalls and dedicated IPs.

WordPress comes included and as a separate plan that optimizes it even more.

The uptime is promised to be 99.9%.

One of the strongly advertised benefits of WebHostingPad is included Weebly website builder with support for eCommerce platforms like ZenCart, CubeCart, and osCommerce. Scalability is not an issue with WebHostingPad, as you can freely upgrade/downgrade your server without downtime. Softaculous is provided, allowing for an easy, one-click installation of supported plugins, addons, and CMS platforms.

Users are granted Root access.

• Although the company doesn’t offer a separate reseller plan, all of the shared/VPS plans can be refitted to a reseller one. In addition to that, WebHositngPad has an affiliate program, so users can profit from advertising the company’s services elsewhere.
• Free domain name for one year;
• Mentioned above Weebly website builder;
• Free SSL certificate;
• Unlimited Hosting space, bandwidth, websites, databases for as long as it falls under TOS;
• Robust email service.

Although the company is small enough, the prices are set to the market average, with one nuance. WebHostingPad doesn’t offer monthly payments, with yearly plans being the only way to purchase hosting. The refund period is eligible for 30 days after a purchase.
