Overview

HosterPK has been providing shared hosting, reseller hosting, VPS hosting, dedicated server hosting, and domain registration services since 2009. The company now serves more than 6000 websites for 3000 mainly-Pakistani customers. Their own website is in English.

Features and Ease of Use

hosterpk 1

This is a full-service company that offers the full range of hosting services with the following core features:

99.96% server uptime maintained for the last 3 years
Automatic server-side backups plus cPanel backups
Free domain registration
Unlimited add-on domains with some plans
SSL certificates available at additional cost
From 1000MB to unlimited disk space
From 20GB to unlimited bandwidth

Beginners get the RVsitebuilder website builder for free, which is good because some hosting companies charge extra for this, and you can even test the tool without registration before signing up. You also get the premium Softaculous one-click installer with more than 250 programs.

You can choose between Linux and Windows hosting plans, with Linux being the better bet for beginners. Linux plans support PHP (both versions 5 and the faster version 7), and they also support Ruby on Rails, SSH access, and SFTP. Windows plans support various versions of ASP.NET. While this provision is pretty good, it would be nice to see support for Python and other advanced coding languages.

In terms of the infrastructure, this host uses SSD RAID 10 for faster performance and less risk of data loss. The company claims to have maintained more than 99.96% server uptime for the last three years, and they offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee (not backed by an SLA).

Pricing and Support

hosterpk 2

HosterPK’s prices are lower than competitors in Pakistan and around the world, and I’m happy that this host offers good value for money for the resources you get. You have to pay extra for an SSL certificate, website security, and an email account, but you get a free domain (.com, .net, .org, or .info) with all hosting packages.

The payment terms one, two, or three years with a slight reduction in the monthly fee for the longer terms but not enough to convince me to sign up for the full three years. If you’re equally unsure, you can take advantage of the 30-day free trial that allows you to try before you buy.

You can reach out to their support team 24/7 through email, chat, telephone, and ticket. I’ve personally chatted with their support operators a few times, and they have always been friendly, helpful, and efficient. This is great news since there is no knowledge base or other support documentation available on their website.

HosterPK REVIEW: BOTTOM LINE

Overall, I’m pleased with the level of service provided by HosterPK. While not outstanding in any one particular area, they do tick a lot of boxes – a website building tool, one-click installer, support for PHP, and 24/7 customer service – all at a good price. My minor gripes are the lack of a knowledge base, no uptime SLA, and the fact that the servers are co-located with another company.

Before you make a decision, we highly recommend you check out some alternative hosting companies, which we highly recommend.

Pros

Very affordable plans
24/7 customer support
Free website building tool
Support for PHP and Ruby on Rails

Cons

No knowledge base
Uptime guarantee is not backed by an SLA

FAQ

What’s the difference between shared hosting and WordPress hosting?

The big difference between shared and WordPress hosting is that WordPress hosting is optimized specifically to run WordPress sites more efficiently. You can run WordPress on most shared hosting plans, but you’ll theoretically get better performance and features with WordPress-specific hosting.

HosterPK offers WordPress hosting, but it’s relatively expensive, and it’s not one of our top WordPress hosts for 2024.

Do all HosterPK plans include a free domain?

All HosterPK plans include free domain name registration. And unlike some hosts that promise free domain names then limit you to an odd or obscure domain name extension, you get a free .com, .net, .org, or .info domain name from HosterPK.

You can also get a free domain name with several of Hostinger’s plans, and most other top web hosts for 2024.

Is HosterPK’s unlimited hosting really unlimited?

Unlimited hosting from HosterPK gives you unlimited storage, bandwidth, MySQL databases, and email accounts. But its lowest-priced unlimited plan allows for just one website. If you want to be able to launch an unlimited number of sites, you need to pay for the most expensive unlimited plan.

Does HosterPK give you good value for money?

HosterPK offers a decent range of features, but its prices are high. And unless you pay for an unlimited plan, resource caps are low; shared hosting only offers up to 5GB of storage and 100GB of bandwidth.

Our coupons page has deals for better-value web hosts that provide more resources for lower prices.

Third class service

One of the worst company I ever see. Sending email no reply calling by number not picking. get payment in advance through bank account and submitted through payment form giving in emails after that no one reply any emails or calls. Requesting all of you Don't buy any service otherwise, you will be in deep trouble

They are dead in support, they are dead in client management. their servers are down most of the time. they have no experience with hosting services. they do not answer calls. they are the very very unprofessional and very ill-mannered staff. no one should buy any services from Hosterpk.

Client Area is down two times in a row, Last time it happened for almost 3 days

The website client area is down for maintenance for a day now, It also happened the 2nd last week for 3 Days, The hosting experience is getting worse each day, First of all, they will not pick up your phone and We can't open a support ticket because the client area is down, There is no way to get support now and My clients forgot the email and cPanel password which they want to reset but HosterPK client area is down and my client has told me to move away from me. It was my recurring paying client, And now he will not work with me. THANKS TO HOSTERPK! I will recommend staying away from it.

The Worst Company I’ll tell everyone not to go with.

I have almost ten plus accounts of my different clients at HosterPK, I have to admit that they have such competitive pricing like no other, But hosting with them can cost you a fortune. Your website SEO ranking will go to almost zero. Your website will have a lot of downtimes that will cost you huge bucks, They will never pick your call unless it is your lucky day, And If you decide to live chat with them they will redirect you to open a ticket which sometimes takes 12 hours to reply to. I recently bought hosting for my client with a domain name that was free for the first year, The clients want the website the same night and I paid for it prepared my coffee and waited for them to activate my hosting so I can start working on it. But they activated it after 5 hours when the night was over and because of that I couldn't keep my promise and also the domain was bought by someone else because of hosterPK then in the morning I asked for a refund and they refused. And I was thinking that What I will do with that hosting without the domain that the client wants, They are such unprofessional that they don't admit their fault and in support tickets, if you asked them 3 questions they will reply to only one. Even their client area was down for more than 4 days, They can't even fix their errors in this much time, how are they supposed to help you? This is my two-year experience with them, I will now move to another host with all of my clients and I'll suggest not to buy them unless you are running low on budget and have no problems with server downtime.
