Arahoster started operations in 2017, according to data on the website footer. The brand is based in Sørreisa, Norway, however, the website content is in Arabic. This suggests that the brand has an Arabic target audience. Customers also have the opportunity to choose an Arabic control panel when purchasing a shared hosting plan from the brand.
Apart from the stated web hosting offerings, Arahoster also offers cloud storage, dedicated servers, and cloud servers for enterprise-grade clients.

Pricing and Support
Arahoster offers fixed and affordable pricing. Customers can choose their preferred billing cycles with the following options available: monthly, semiannual, and annual. Prices are listed in U.S Dollars, and payment options available include all major credit cards, PayPal, and Stripe.
The brand’s refund policy states that all complaints must be lodged within 30 days, but only for customers that have paid an annual subscription. It is unclear how the refund policy covers customers that have paid a monthly fee, and there is no free-test period on all packages, either.
Support staff is available for customer assistance via phone or support ticket. Despite the brand’s assertion of round-the-clock support, the website lacks a live chat function.
There is, however, a knowledge base with some educational content.
