Hostnats is a subsidiary of Indian server administration and cloud platform management company Skynats Technologies. It started its journey in 2015, since when it has provided hosting solutions for both startups and medium-sized businesses.
Hostnats’ bouquet of services includes shared hosting, managed dedicated servers, SSL certificates, and (soon) cloud hosting services. Its website is in English.
Features and Ease of Use
Hostnats offers four shared hosting packages and four managed dedicated server packages. The shared hosting packages provide you with:
- 99.999% uptime guarantee
- 2 GB to unlimited disk space
- 1 TB to unlimited bandwidth
- One to unlimited domains
- cPanel control panel
- Email services
- Free DNS management
The included Softaculous one-click installer helps you install a large number of popular applications with a single click and without having to be a web expert. I’m talking about applications such as the WordPress CMS and blogging platform or the OpenCart e-commerce platform.
Once your website is up-and-running, you can secure it with a free SSL certificate that will give your customers or other website visitors confidence.
The managed dedicated server packages have server hardening and other security measures, and the disaster recovery feature should give you some peace of mind.
Pricing and Support
Hostnats offers affordable shared hosting packages, which become even more budget-friendly with extended sign-up durations. You can choose from a variety of billing cycles, including monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual options. However, please note that not all packages support every billing cycle. To find out the available options for your chosen plan, simply check the details. Payments can be made in either U.S. dollars via PayPal or Indian rupees via Razorpay.
The 30-day money-back guarantee gives you a month to change your mind if you’re not entirely happy.
Hostnats’ 24/7 customer support team can be contacted by telephone, ticket, email, or live chat. I was pleased to establish an immediate connection via the live chat channel.
It’s a good thing that the one-to-one support is so prompt because the self-support knowledgebase contains only two entries.
