Although AsrHost’s website says that it started its journey in 2014, its Facebook page states its founding date to be in November 2016. To add to the confusion, while the Facebook page locates the company in Bangladesh, the Twitter feed suggests it’s in Dubai. The latter at least corresponds, I guess, with the website’s “About Us” page alluding to the founder being Al Amin Sheikh Ruban.
There are more reasons for being confused and concerned, such as the fact that each of the “team members” is listed twice, with two different photographs, which suggests that the vendor website is half-baked at best.
If this doesn’t put you off, and (spoiler alert!) maybe it shouldn’t, you will find a good number of shared hosting, cloud VPS, dedicated server, reseller hosting, domain services, SSL certificates, and G Suite solutions advertised on the English-language website.
Features and Ease of Use
AsrHost offers four shared hosting packages, five cloud VPS packages, three dedicated server packages, and four reseller hosting packages.
All the shared hosting packages provide you with:
- 99.99% uptime guarantee
- 5 GB to 30 GB storage
- Unlimited bandwidth
- cPanel control panel
- LiteSpeed and LSCache
- Anti-spam and virus protection
- Weekly backups
- Free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate
A one-click application installer helps you install many popular applications, e.g., WordPress for blogging or OpenCart for e-commerce. It’s so easy that you don’t need to be a technical expert to set up a CMS-backed website.
The Imunify360 all-in-one security solution offers resellers, who are concerned about security, significant benefits. Additionally, companies keen on team collaboration can easily implement hosted G Suite.
Pricing and Support
AsrHost’s shared hosting packages are competitively priced, and you can pay for them in U.S. dollars via PayPal.
You can sign up for service on monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, biennial, or triennial billing cycles. Although the product pages allude to two months’ free hosting with annual billing, I couldn’t find this substantiated anywhere. The 30-day money-back guarantee at least gives you a month to change your mind if you’re not satisfied with the service.
AsrHost’s 24/7 customer support team can be contacted by telephone, ticket, email, contact form, or live chat. Considering my initial confusion about this host’s website and social media pages, I was surprised to summon live chat support almost immediately:
The good news doesn’t end there because the knowledge base is surprisingly comprehensive, too.
