Web hosting is a service that stores your website's files on a server and makes them accessible on the internet. Without it, your website can't go live.

How Much Does Web Hosting Cost?

Hostking's web hosting plans start at $2.50/mo on a 1-year term, with NVMe SSD storage, free SSL, and a free domain on annual plans.

What is Shared Web hosting?

In Shared Web Hosting, multiple clients are hosted on a single server i.e. the clients share the server's resources. This helps reduce the cost, since the cost of the server and its resources are spread over all the clients/packages hosted on the server. Shared Hosting is perfect for personal websites, small and mid-sized businesses that do not require all the resources of a server.

Can I host multiple Web sites within one Shared Hosting plan?

Yes! Our Starter and Premium web hosting plans allow you to host more than one Website, by adding secondary domains through your hosting control panel i.e. Directadmin.

Is there a Money Back Guarantee?

Yes, we offer a 100% Risk Free, 30 day Money Back Guarantee.

Is Email hosting included in my package?

Yes, all our Hosting packages come with Email Hosting.

Can I upgrade to a higher plan?

Yes, you can easily upgrade to one of our higher plans at any time.

Do I Need Technical Skills to Use Web Hosting?

No. Hostking includes an easy-to-use control panel, and Starter and Premium plans come with a free professional website design, so no coding is required.

Can I Migrate My Existing Website to Hostking?

Yes — our team migrates your entire website for free, including files, databases and emails, planned to avoid downtime.

Is my data safe? Do you take backups?

Yes, your data is protected by our security measures and backed up every day.

Do you include protection from viruses?

Yes, all our servers are protected by Clam AV.

Can I divide my Shared Hosting package and resell it?

While a Shared Hosting package cannot be used for this purpose, you can easily resell custom packages with our Reseller Hosting. To view our Reseller Hosting plans, click here.

Do you offer SSH access?

Yes, we provide SSH access to your domain. Because this is a shared environment, you will not get root access. However, you will be able to achieve most of your requirements by having the rights to access only the files relevant to your domain.

Who do I get in touch with if I need help?

Live chat is our main support channel, most replies in under 10 minutes. Support tickets and email are also available.
