Datanes is a Turkish web hosting company. Its Turkish-language website sells domain services, shared hosting, reseller hosting, and virtual dedicated server (VDS) solutions.
Features and Ease of Use
Datanes’s basic web hosting plans, which are suitable for simple websites, provide you with:
- Free domain registration
- 500 MB to unlimited disk space
- Unlimited bandwidth
In common with most other hosting companies, Datanes lets you manage your hosting via the popular cPanel control panel. And like some other hosting companies, it improves performance by using the LiteSpeed webserver (which is faster than Apache) and SSD storage (which is far faster and more reliable than traditional HDD storage).
The underlying operating system is CloudLinux, which isolates you from the adverse effects of other hosted users. Furthermore, hosting plans provides DDoS protection to help manage traffic spikes without extra DDoS hardware.
The low-price VDS plans don’t use SSD storage, but they do use SAS storage rather than slower SATA storage.
Pricing and Support
Datanes offer some of the cheapest shared hosting plans I have seen; less expensive than similar offerings from almost all other web hosting providers. While this would usually mean sacrificing some speed and uptime, this is not necessarily the case with Datanes, and is probably not a problem for the small businesses it is targetting.
Although the renewal prices are higher than the starter prices, we ensure they remain consistently low. You can choose from four available billing periods: six months, one year, two years, or three years.
Support isn’t Datanes’s strongest suit. Although there is live chat, I couldn’t connect to an agent for hours. While current customers are encouraged to submit support tickets, pre-sales prospect customers can try the hard-to-find telephone, email, WhatsApp, and Skype contact channels:
If you have to resort to self-support, you’ll be disappointed to see that the knowledge base is bare.
How much does Datanes cost?
Datanes offers plans from $0 to $1. The price depends on which type of hosting plan you choose. You can see the updated pricing table (updated weekly) below.
Which Datanes plan should I get?
My recommendation is to start with a cheaper plan. You can always upgrade later on. Datanes can help you with the migration to a more expensive plan. The increase in visitors many times takes longer than expected and you shouldn’t pay a lot of money until the need arises. Of course, your needs may vary, and you can consult with a hosting expert from Datanes here.
How good is Datanes’s customer support?
Datanes is not ranked as one of our top web hosts. But that can also be a result of Datanes being a small, under the radar, hosting provider. There are advantages to a small hosting company – as a customer, you are more important to them. You can also check out our comparison of the most popular web hosting services here.
