Although Indian host HostBread’s website doesn’t say when the company was established, it does say that it has been providing web design and development services since 2010. It started out as a pet project of the founder, which evolved into a professional service.
Features and Ease of Use
HostBread offers four Linux shared hosting packages and one Linux dedicated server package (which is only apparent in the cart). The Linux shared hosting packages provide you with:
- 99.9% uptime guarantee
- 0.5 GB to unlimited disk space
- Unlimited bandwidth
- One to unlimited websites
- Four to unlimited email accounts
- Four to unlimited MySQL databases
The cPanel control panel lets you manage all aspects of your hosting, and the incorporated one-click application installer helps you install a plethora of popular CMS and other applications without having to be an expert webmaster.
If you don’t know how to design your own website, or you don’t want to, you can explore HostBread’s web design and development services that include an e-commerce package.
Pricing and Support
HostBread offers Linux shared hosting plans with a wide range of pricing options, from dirt-cheap to very expensive. You have the flexibility to make payments in Indian rupees using either PayPal or bank transfer, with billing cycles available from monthly to triennial. While our 7-day money-back guarantee is shorter compared to the 30-day refund window provided by many other hosts, it still grants you a full week to assess if HostBread is the right choice for you.
