Denver-based DCTS Solutions' hosting solutions look like they're very competitively priced. The problem is that you can't actually buy them, or access the company's knowledgebase, because many of the web links lead to an error page. What a pity!
DCTS Solutions started its journey in 2015, since when it has strived to provide high-quality hosting solutions backed by superior customer service. Its English-language website sells shared hosting, reseller hosting, and two types of SHOUTcast hosting solutions.
Features and Ease of Use
DCTS Solutions offers three shared hosting packages and three reseller hosting packages. The shared hosting packages provide you with:
99% uptime
2 GB to unlimited storage space
Unlimited bandwidth
cPanel control panel
3 to unlimited databases
3 to unlimited email accounts
3 to unlimited FTP accounts
WordPress support
Three types of backups
Hosting comes with the Softaculous one-click installer that helps you install many popular applications such as WordPress (for blogging), OpenCart (for e-commerce), and phpBB (for bulletin boards and web forums). The best bit is that you don’t have to be too tech-savvy.
Once your website is up-and-running, you can secure it with a free SSL certificate that keeps your customers safe and could also help improve your search engine standing. SSD storage means much higher performance and greater reliability than traditional HDD storage.
Besides shared hosting, DCTS also offers SHOUTcast hosting solutions that will let you set up your own radio station, or re-sell these services to others.
Pricing and Support
DCTS Solutions’ shared hosting solutions are incredibly cheap, and you can pay for them in U.S. dollars on a monthly basis. Or can you? The problem is that all the products I picked returned an error message when I pressed the “Purchase” button.
You’ll be less surprised, therefore, to hear that my exploratory email went unanswered, and the F.A.Q. knowledgebase link also leads to an error page:
If you’re looking for an American provider of dirt-cheap hosting solutions, relative newcomer DCTS Solutions could be worth checking out. However, its dysfunctional website (at the time of writing) means you can’t purchase hosting plans or access self-support resources. And I received no response to my exploratory email.
