Romanian company NAV Communications has more than 22 years of experience under its belt. It boasts 45,000 servers, more than 20,000 web domains, and 30,000 happy customers. Whether you want web and e-commerce hosting, reseller hosting, colocation, VPS, or dedicated servers, you can find it all at NAV Communications. The company also offers domain registration, SSL certificates, cloud backups, and server administration services.
The NAV Communications website can be switched between several different countries — Romania, the U.K., Austria, and South Africa — each with its own domain, but the Austrian domain is “for sale.”
Features and Ease of Use
NAV Communications offers four shared web hosting plans, 12 e-commerce plans (for Magento, PrestaShop, and OpenCart), four reseller hosting plans, four cloud VPS plans, and three dedicated server plans. The shared web hosting plans provide you with:

- Free .ro domain (with the Platinum plan)
- 10 GB to 100 GB SSD storage
- Five to unlimited email accounts and MySQL databases
- PHP selector (for PHP versions 5.x and 7.x)
- Free SSL certificate with annual billing
- Dedicated IPv4 and IPv6
- Daily backups retained for ten days
- Spam and DDoS protection
The hosting plans allow you to buy additional resources with one click whenever you need to.
The Softaculous auto-installer affords you access to more than 400 free CMS, e-commerce and other applications; for example, PrestaShop, OpenCart, and Magento. The R1Soft cloud backups bypass the file system and read data directly from disk so as not to adversely affect performance. CageFS keeps hosted users separate and protected from one another, and the attack mitigation and flood protection services ensure maximum stability, security, and performance.
This provider’s SSD cluster offers fault tolerance, so your virtual instance remains unaffected even if a node becomes inaccessible. You’ll get an industry-average SLA-backed 99.9% uptime guarantee, with discounts as detailed on the terms and conditions page.
Pricing and Support
NAV Communications’ shared hosting plans are pricey. You can make payments in euros by PayPal, bank transfer, or MobilPay on billing cycles from monthly to triennial. The web hosting services, reseller hosting plans, VPS servers, and SSL certificates all come with a 14-day refund guarantee.
This company provides customer support via telephone, support ticket, email, or online contact form. You can only call on weekdays (up to midnight for technical issues). Unfortunately, my contact form submissions seemed to fall on deaf ears. If you have to resort to self-support, you’ll find a small set of categorized frequently asked questions:
