Hostingroup review

Entry shared hosting is advertised at an intro price of $46.99, charged on an initial term of 12. That is a headline figure for new signups rather than a month to month rate, so budget for the whole term at checkout.

The catalogue covers shared web hosting (cPanel), WordPress hosting and reseller hosting. Shared cPanel hosting is the entry point, with WordPress and SEO hosting aimed at site builders, reseller accounts for agencies, and VPS Linux, VPS Windows plus dedicated servers for larger workloads.

You get a money back period of 30 days as a safety net. That matches the most common refund window among the providers compared here, so a change of mind early in a term costs little.

Support runs on email, chat and phone, which covers a help centre, email, live chat and phone. If you run a storefront on a shared plan, a written reply is not the only route to an answer.

Hostingroup is a Peru based provider, with data centres in Canada and Europe. Visitors in the region get a closer option than a provider with servers elsewhere, though anyone serving audiences outside those areas should check latency before committing.

Every plan carries free ssl, backups and email. A free .com domain is included with each plan, and multiple domains are allowed on the PYME and Empresarial plans only, so the entry tier covers a single site.

The stated audience is beginners, small business and enterprise. The pricing and the cPanel shared plans point mainly at small businesses and beginners, while the VPS and dedicated ranges give room for larger sites that outgrow shared hosting.

The terms of service set a guaranteed uptime of 99.99%. That figure is a contractual commitment rather than a marketing line, so it belongs in the contract review before you sign for a longer plan.

The provider trades as HostinGroup S.A.C. and was founded in 2011. The company is registered in Peru, its headquarters country, and that legal name is the one on invoices and in the terms of service.
