Features and Ease of Use
Curacao Webhosting works a bit differently than many shared hosting services. Outside of pre-configured options for storage, domains, emails, and bandwidth, they don’t offer a lot in the way of direct customization. They leave a lot of that up to you as the webmaster.
Some of their base features include the following:
- Support 10 domains or more
- Multiple databases supported
- Choice of shared hosting datacenters
- Option to order customized plans
They don’t offer a lot of advanced features standard as they prefer to work with you individually in setting up your best hosting solution. They do offer features, such as dedicated IP address, SSL certificates, a CDN, and more, but all these features incur additional charges.
This web host isn’t for beginners. They are more geared to experienced webmasters looking for offshore hosting. They don’t offer website builders, and there’s no mention of auto-installers on the website. However, they do appear willing to help you set up your best configuration, but don’t be surprised if you have to pay for it.
Pricing and Support
Curacao Webhosting offers shared hosting services in three locations; Curacao, South Africa, and the United States. Each has their own features and pricing structure. Here’s a rundown of their Curacao plans:
| Entry | Professional | Business | Enterprise | |
| Storage | 5GB | 10GB | 15GB | 50GB |
| Bandwidth | 15GB | 30GB | 45GB | 60GB |
| Email Accounts | 5 | 10 | 20 | 40 |
| Databases | 5 | 10 | 20 | 40 |
| Parked Domains | 10 | 20 | 40 | 80 |
| Domains | 10 | 20 | 40 | 80 |
| Subdomains | 10 | 20 | 40 | 80 |
Curacao shared servers also offer a customizable plan so you can pick the features you need, and you will pay according to how you configure your hosting.
Their South Africa shared servers offer four plans with the features outlined below:
| Entry | Professional | Business | Enterprise | |
| Storage | 5GB | 10GB | 15GB | 20GB |
| Bandwidth | 10GB | 15GB | 20GB | 30GB |
| Email Accounts | 5 | 10 | 20 | 40 |
| Databases | 5 | 10 | 20 | 40 |
| Parked Domains | 10 | 20 | 40 | 80 |
| Domains | 10 | 20 | 40 | 80 |
| Subdomains | 10 | 20 | 40 | 80 |
You’ll notice that the bandwidth caps on these servers are less than the Curacao servers. Their Enterprise plan also offers less storage space. However, these plans are remarkably cheaper than the Curacao plans.
If you want massive bandwidth, then the USA shared servers are going to be for you. Here’s a quick rundown of plan features:
| Entry | Professional | Business | Enterprise | |
| Storage | 5GB | 10GB | 15GB | 20GB |
| Bandwidth | 100GB | 200GB | 300GB | 400GB |
| Email Accounts | 5 | 10 | 20 | 40 |
| Databases | 5 | 10 | 20 | 40 |
| Parked Domains | 10 | 20 | 40 | 80 |
| Domains | 10 | 20 | 40 | 80 |
| Subdomains | 10 | 20 | 40 | 80 |
These plans offer massive bandwidth, which is nice, but I’d also like to see a little more storage to allow for adequate storage for multiple domains. If you’re looking for the best value, the South Africa servers are going to be the most inexpensive and are suitable for most sites.
One area where Curacao Webhosting falls short is their customer support. Their only option for support is online ticket support. Their online contact form is dedicated to pre-sales inquiries only. They do provide a knowledgebase, but its content is quite limited. The only positive aspect of this web host is their support for 26 languages, including English.
