To enhance both yours and your visitors’ security online the vendor has web servers with free Let’s Encrypt SSL, Spam filters, and antivirus. However, it also gives you the option of upgrading to Comodo PositiveSSL (for a fee, of course) or you could buy it anywhere else and still use it.

Pricing and Support
Domainmaailma strives to provide its clients with cheap yet quality web hosting services. Allowing users to only pay for specific features that they use is its comparative advantage in the web hosting market. Unlike other vendors, there are no packages and hosting plans listed.
The only thing that bothered me is the absence of free domain transfers, which I believe would greatly benefit most beginners. However, I take comfort in the 14-day money-back guarantee, which assures customers that they can try out the service without any worries.
To get started with Domainmaailma, you will have to place an order but first, you will have to decide on the features that you plan to use.You will then fill in a form with your personal details, pay for the order, and almost immediately be given access.
The payment methods include checkout through online banking and PayPal with monthly billing cycles.
Customer support is via phone, email, and tickets. The customer support team is also multi-lingual and very helpful, even though responses take a while. This is based on my personal experience with the ticket support system, though the agents did give candid and easy to understand replies.
There is also a moderately-detailed knowledge base and F.A.Q sections which came in very handy when I was writing this review. If you have any quick questions, I would suggest that you explore these two sections first. But if it is urgent and you need quick tech support, then you should probably give them a call. They always answer immediately.
