HideMyHost

HideMyHost is a web hosting company based in the United States that has operated since 2001. The company’s strongest selling point is its affordable and secure offshore web hosting. HideMyHost offers various services, including Virtual Private Server (VPS), dedicated servers, and reseller hosting services.

The company’s hosting solutions incorporate several standard features. These include unlimited bandwidth, cPanel, Softaculous one-click installer, daily backups, unlimited databases, PHP 5.6 & PHP 7.2 support, and a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

HideMyHost houses its servers in a secure data center located in the Netherlands. The data center is equipped with SSD-powered hardware nodes to offer fully managed services and more CPU computing resources to provide fast and reliable services.

HideMyHost’s shared hosting uses Apache 2.4 servers. The shared web hosting solution is split into three plans: Basic, Medium, and Advanced. The Basic plan offers 10GB SSD disk space and 10 domains, while the most advanced package comes with 30GB SSD disk space and allows up to 50 domains. All packages include daily backup services, unlimited FTP, and unlimited email accounts.

For resource-intensive businesses, the firm has its dedicated servers solution. The starter dedicated servers package includes Intel E3-1240 v3, 16GB RAM, and 25TB upgradable bandwidth. The advanced package has Intel E5-1650 v3, 32GB RAM, four 1TB disk drives, and 25TB upgradable bandwidth.

HideMyHost does not offer additional solutions such as SSL certificates or WordPress hosting; its hosting solutions only run on Linux OS. All basic HideMyHost hosting plans are quite cheap and come with a considerably good number of features. The vendor offers monthly plans, but that does not mean clients can’t commit to longer periods.

The prices are listed on its website in euros. The hosting provider supports online payment platforms such as Payza, PayPal, Webmoney, Bitcoin, and PerfectMoney. Although a section on this vendor’s website indicates that it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, its policy page says that its money-back guarantee lasts for only seven days. Nevertheless, the vendor has an uptime network guarantee of 99.9%.

HideMyHost’s customer desk offers support only through the ticketing system, excluding telephone, email, or live chat. The support team is quite frustrating despite claiming to provide unlimited 24/7 quality support.

However, it’s worth noting that some users have reported negative experiences with HideMyHost’s customer service. Some customers have complained about slow response times to support tickets and issues with their services being suspended without clear communication from the company.
