Unlike hosting companies in mainland China, whose services are restricted and closely monitored by the government, Kowloon Hosting’s Hong Kong-based services are globally accessible, and its servers are fast and secure. You can order web hosting, reseller packages, and dedicated servers without worrying about your privacy or any service restrictions.
Features and Ease of Use
Powered by cPanel/WHM, the shared hosting and reseller plans provide a decent number of features, including:
- MySQL and PostgreSQL
- FTP Account
- Web-based email accounts
- FTP accounts
- Apache, PHP 5+, and Ruby on Rails
- Webalizer and AWStats
- Hosting for multiple websites
Kowloon Hosting has invested in world-class infrastructure and the latest hosting technologies, which is why it’s able to deliver enterprise-grade servers and high performance shared hosting with a 99.88% network uptime guarantee. On top of this, hosting is backed up by weekly backups of databases and emails.
Kowloon Hosting’s free migration service will give you a good headstart when moving from another host. After ordering your hosting package, just raise a ticket containing the credentials for your old host, and let Kowloon Hosting do the rest.
All hosting plans are managed via the cPanel control panel that provides everything you need to build, manage, and secure your websites. The Softaculous installer provides scripts for 100+ apps including WordPress, Joomla, OpenCart, Magento, and more. You can also order premium SSL certificates and dedicated IPs for your e-store or e-commerce website.
If you require additional configurations or storage, you have the option to choose a Linux or Windows SSD VPS instead of shared hosting. These servers are hosted in a secure and stable cloud environment, allowing you to customize the amount of RAM, CPUs, and storage according to your requirements.
Pricing and Support
Setup is fee-free and instant. You can pay for plans in six currencies on an annual or monthly basis, with a 20% discount on annual commitments. Although it’s way below the industry average, you get ten days to try the services before continuing or requesting a refund.
Nonprofits, and students in various countries (Singapore, Japan, China, and Hong Kong) can get two years hosting for free.
Kowloon Hosting’s English-speaking support team is available 24/7 by live chat, telephone, or support ticket. You can also research your own answers to simple hosting questions in the vendor’s knowledge base:
