This host’s modern English-language website gives you the essential information you need at a glance, but only the essential information.
Features and Ease of Use
The following features make website creation and management with DTR Technologies a breeze:
- Softaculous installation scripts
- FTP access
- Weekly backups
- 24/7/365 Support
I like the included drag-and-drop website builder that lets you create a mobile-responsive website from customizable templates without having to be a coding expert. Alternatively, you can create a database-driven CMS website, blog, or online store using the one-click app installer. It comes loaded with installation scripts for more than 100 free web apps including Joomla, Drupal, and Magento.
While any web hosting service can claim to be the best, for me it mainly boils down to performance and security, which is where DTR Technologies holds up pretty well. The Cloudflare CDN not only caches content for faster page-loading speeds but also helps protect you against certain kinds of cyberattacks. This company’s core infrastructure, comprised of enterprise-grade SSD servers and fully redundant network systems, allows it to offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee (which is pretty much the industry average).
Pricing and Support
You can choose from a set of shared hosting plans with monthly billing cycles, and pay using your major credit or debit card. There are no hidden charges, but you can add extras such as SpamExperts email security at the checkout. The 30-day money-back guarantee gives you a whole month to change your mind about this host.
Nobody wants their website to go down. But if it does, it’s essential that you can contact support efficiently. To this end, DTR Technologies’ 24/7 technical support team can be contacted by telephone, ticket, or email. I received a prompt response via Facebook Messenger, which confirmed that this provider uses British-based servers:
If you prefer self-support, you might be a bit disappointed as the knowledge base is empty and the FAQ section only has three entries.
