Complete Review of Host me Host
Top Hosting in Serbia
AdriaHost.rs has been around for a decade and is a leading provider of web hosting in Serbia. Their staff is professional and they have experience working with the biggest clients in the area. They also have an office.
High Uptime and Reliability
Nice money back guarantees
All hosting services come with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 99.9% uptime warranty. They also offer weekly backups that will ensure your data is safe and secure. You can choose to have your data center in the U.S. or Europe. This will give you the most uplink, depending on the location of your customers. However, they don't offer 24x7 support.
These are the features
Many shared hosting options, as well as many other choices
There are multiple shared hosting plans available, and you must purchase them with a minimum of one-year commitment. Basic plans have 2GB disk space and 100GB bandwidth. There are no add-ons domains. Business plans offer 20GB disk space and 300GB bandwidth. Business Plus offers unlimited everything and includes a dedicated IP, a server with SSL certificates and unlimited domains. There are Cloud VPS servers available in New York, San Francisco and Amsterdam. All of these have at least 1GB vRAM, a 30GB Solid State Drive, and all three of them offer unlimited add-on domains. It can be ordered with as much as 4GB RAM, a 60GB SSD and 4GB internet bandwidth. All models have automatic backups and are connected to an 1Gbps Tier-1 broadband internet connection.
Adriahost offers a variety of dedicated servers that can be tailored to any budget or need. The server CPUs are available in a range of prices, from low-end Core Duo S processors to high-end Dual Quad Core L processors. SATA and SSD disk drives are available. Standard bandwidth is 5TB, but up to 100 can be added. RAM ranges from 1GB through 32GB. Audio hosting is also available, but I find it too costly. The Centova Control Panel is free to you, so you can choose the quality of your audio and the number of listeners. You can also get unlimited bandwidth, much faster speeds and a lot more.
Even if your hosting account is not with them, they offer managed backups that are performed weekly in their datacenter. They also offer SMS marketing and a free website migration for any hosting package purchased.
Assistance
Technical support is only available during limited hours
The team doesn't offer a phone number and makes a point of it. They prefer to communicate via ticket systems, which keep all communications on file. Although they have a ticket system which answers queries only during weekdays, their servers are monitored 24 hours per day. Additional "premium support", which I don't like, is also available. There are FAQs on every service, and a general FAQ page. They also have a wealth of information. Many companies will combine their services but not have an adequate FAQ. Many people are complaining that they respond to tickets only during normal business hours. It is not 24/7 support. However, they do have a telephone number that you can call to verify their legitimacy. It's not technical support.
Pricing
There are many pricing options
For 17EUR ($20), the basic shared package (200GB storage/100GB bandwidth), the annual business plan is 46EUR ($54), and for 93EUR ($110 a year the business plus (unlimited all) costs 93EUR ($110. There are also huge discounts for those who buy more than one year. Two years of the basic plan cost only 4 euros more. That's a total price difference of 21 EUR ($25 for two years or 0.88EUR$1 per month. The unlimited plan costs 7.75EUR ($9.20 per month or 93EUR/$110 per year), or 4.91EUR ($5.80 per month or 118EUR/140 per two-year period. Cloud VPS servers start at $30 per month and go up to 45EUR ($53) for medium plans or 70EUR ($83 for top). Although they seem high-priced, the server quality is excellent and the prices are reasonable. They also add 20% VAT as a European business to make it more costly.
Although dedicated servers can be expensive, there is enough available to give you a custom option. The cheapest dedicated server is available for 69EUR (or $82), and only has 1GB RAM and 160GB storage. My favourite plan is 129EUR ($153), which has 8GB RAM and a Quad Core L processor. It also includes 4x 500GB SATA drives. This deal is a steal, especially considering the price. For low-quality streaming and 50 listeners, Audio Hosting starts at 10EUR ($12). You're looking at 50EUR ($60) per month for 128kbps audio and 100 listeners. Prices for large streaming plans start at 199EUR ($236), and go up to 1099EUR ($1300), just per month. You can save money on broadcasting rates if you are in the audio streaming industry.
You can get one-year of hosting for three purchases. This would make the already affordable hosting rates even more attractive!
Summary
VPS and shared plans are great
Their shared hosting plans are great. They're affordable, and they come with lots of options. These shared hosting plans have been around for a long time and they are reliable so there is no need to be concerned about them. Cloud VPS plans, which I love so much, are great. The only thing I dislike is the fact that you have to buy a year's worth of hosting plans. It is also impossible to order certain services without first filling out the contact form. They are a top host in Serbia and the surrounding areas. However, even for those who live outside the country, there are good reasons to register.
The pros:
- Hosting that is reliable
- Servers with high end features
- Cloud VPSs and other dedicated services are great options
- Fair prices
- Buy 2 years and get 1 Year Free
- No cost website migration
Cons
- The minimum purchase term is one year
- Host audio is prohibitively expensive
- No 24/7 tech support
