To compare the best web hosts, we hosted the same WordPress website on each one and tested performance, customer service, and value for money. Check out the results here.
U.S.-based URLJet started out in 2003. Although it specializes in shared, VPS, and dedicated server vBulletin hosting plans, it also offers XenForo and WordPress hosting plans plus other services.
URLJet’s main website is in English, but its knowledge base can be switched into many more languages.
Features and Ease of Use
Although URLJet offers several shared hosting packages, they all have the following features in common:
- 99.99% uptime guarantee
- cPanel control panel
- SSD storage
- SSL certificates
- Free domain for quarterly (or longer) plans
- Free website migration
All packages come with the Softaculous app installer, and you can use either cPanel or Plesk to manage your website and hosting. You also get hourly backups to keep your website data safe, plus the Cloudflare CDN to boost your website’s loading speeds and security.
Pricing and Support
URLJet provides three vBulletin shared hosting plans – Pro, Gold, and Platinum – with the main differences being in terms of disk space and bandwidth. These plans are relatively pricey compared to standard shared hosting plans. Payment can be made via PayPal or credit card, and upon registration, you receive a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Support is one of URLJet’s strong points. Firstly, the knowledge base contains plenty of FAQs, tutorials, and other useful resources. When this didn’t answer all my questions, I got additional support from a live chat agent who did provide all the answers I needed:
Besides live chat, you can also summon support by email or telephone, or by submitting a ticket.
