HOSTOWEB.bf review

Entry-level plans start at XOF 5,103 in the local currency. That sits below the median price for web hosting in this group, €5.39, so the opening bill for a small site stays modest. The shared plans behind that figure bundle free ssl, backups and email.

Yes, a money-back period of 30 days is set out in the terms of service. That matches the median across this group, 30, so the commitment is easier to reverse than at providers offering a shorter window.

Data centres sit in Burkina Faso, Morocco and Europe, so a site can be placed near West African visitors or in Europe. The service is run by HOSTOWEB SARL/AU, the entity named in the terms, and pricing is quoted in the local currency rather than in euros or dollars.

The catalogue covers shared hosting, WordPress hosting and e commerce hosting. A project can start on shared hosting, move to WordPress or e-commerce hosting, then scale to cloud VPS, managed servers, dedicated servers or colocation without changing provider.

A .com costs XOF 7,700 in the first year and XOF 7,700 at renewal, so the figure does not jump after the first term. The number of extensions on offer is limited to 3, so check the ending you want before ordering.

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering email, phone and a help centre, with no live chat listed. That mix suits sites that want a written answer to common questions as well as a direct call for anything urgent.

The shared hosting page states an uptime guarantee of 99.9%. That is a commitment with a small allowance for downtime rather than uninterrupted service, so sites that cannot tolerate any outage should plan a second host.
