Our verdict
Neolo suits beginners and small businesses who want hosting, a site builder and a store on a single account, and it prices the first term low. The catch is the second bill: hosting renews at $9 against an entry price of $4.50, and there is no free plan to fall back on.

Pros and cons
Pros
- free ssl, backups and email come with the standard hosting, so a first site needs no paid add-on for SSL or backups.
- The 30 day free trial gives sellers time to build the store before committing.
- The online store charges a transaction fee of 0% on top of the plan.
- Hosting choice is broad: shared hosting, premium hosting and VPS, so a single account covers shared through to dedicated.
Cons
- Renewal is the bill to watch: the entry plan starts at $4.50 and renews at $9, above the site median of €5.99.
- There is no free plan, so a 30 day trial is the only free route in.
- Site limits bite early: 1 on Plan 0 and Plan 1; unlimited on Unlimited plan.
Who it suits
- Beginners putting up a first site, with a 30 day trial to try the builder first.
- Small businesses that want hosting and an online store on the same account, since the builder covers site and store.
- Sellers who dislike per-sale charges: the store's transaction fee is 0%.
Who should look elsewhere
- Render, if a free start is the priority: its entry price is listed at $0 while Neolo has no free plan.
- Afrihost, for readers who want a second shared-hosting price point on the table: its entry price is listed at ZAR 84.
- Hosting.cl, for shoppers buying in another local market: its entry price is listed at CLP 159,900.
Intro and renewal prices
The entry shared hosting plan is $4.50 for the first 1, which is a short promotional window rather than a lasting rate. The same plan renews at $9. Against the site median of €2.99 for entry pricing, the first bill looks low, while the renewal sits above the €5.99 median. Expect the second invoice to be the real cost.
The company behind it
Neolo trades as Sigmund LLC, is headquartered in the US and has operated since 2002. Support runs on email, chat and phone, which covers the routes a small site owner usually needs. The terms also set an uptime guarantee of 99.9%, the one service level a buyer can hold the company to.

Frequently asked questions
What does Neolo cost to start?+
Entry shared hosting is $4.50 for the first 1, which is the promotional term rather than the ongoing rate. The site and store builder sits at a starting price of $9, and the store plan is $11.
What will hosting cost when it renews?+
Renewal is where the entry price stops telling the story. The hosting plan renews at $9, above the site median of €5.99, and Neolo ranks 112 of 179 brands on renewal cost. Budget the second bill, not the first.
Is there a free plan, or a free trial?+
There is no free plan, so the trial is the only free route in. Neolo runs on a free trial model of 30 days, which gives time to publish the site and set up the store before picking a plan.
How many websites can I run on an account?+
Limits depend on the plan: 1 on Plan 0 and Plan 1; unlimited on Unlimited plan. Agency buyers and anyone building for clients should read that line early, since the shared plans cap the site count while the Unlimited plan lifts it.
What does selling online cost, and are there sales fees?+
The online store plan is $11, and the builder covers site and store rather than sites alone. The transaction fee is 0%, so no cut of each sale is added on top of the plan price.
How long is the money-back period?+
Neolo offers 30 days on hosting, which matches the site median of 30. It ranks 35 of 275 brands on that period, so the window is the common one on this list.
How do I get help if something breaks?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone, so email, chat, phone and a help centre are all listed as ways to reach the team. Published service levels are thin: the stated commitment is an uptime guarantee of 99.9%.
