NicaHosting review

Shared hosting starts at $5 for a 12 term, which is the entry price rather than the standing one. The category median for intro prices is €2.95, so you can see where this sits. NicaHosting aims at beginners and small business.

Across the web hosting category, renewal prices run from €0.32 to €159.89, with a median of €6.14. Entry prices such as $5 are quoted for an introductory term, so check the renewal figure before you commit to a longer plan.

Shared plans hold 1 to 50 websites on an account, depending on the plan you pick. That range covers a single site for an early project and a bundle of sites for a small business, and every plan in the range lists free ssl, backups and email as standard.

The range covers shared, wordpress and vps. You can start on shared hosting for a simple site and step up to VPS, dedicated, cloud or reseller hosting as your needs grow, all with the same company behind the account. Support is available through email and phone at every point in that journey.

Data centres cover phoenixNAP (Arizona, United States), United States and Europe, which includes a phoenixNAP facility in Arizona, United States, plus other United States and European locations, so you can pick a region near most of your visitors. Location drives page speed and where visitor data sits.

The stated audience is beginners and small business, and the company is registered as NICAHOSTING S.A. in Nicaragua. That points to solo owners and small teams running their own sites, with dedicated servers and an uptime guarantee of 99.99% for larger needs.

A .com costs $6.99 for the opening year, against a category median of €11.79. NicaHosting is a hosting company that also sells domains, so buyers shopping mainly for a name may want to check registrars too. Buying a domain alongside hosting keeps the account in a single place.
