Estonian host EstNOC started providing services in 2010, since when it has supplied hosting solutions to customers in more than 30 countries. According to its English-language website, it has hosted more than 2,500 sites for more than 3,500 customers.
Features and Ease of Use
EstNOC provides virtual and dedicated servers across Europe (twenty-eight locations), Asia (eight locations), the U.S.A. (six locations), and Canada (one location), plus colocation services (in two locations according to the shopping cart).
As an example, U.S.A. VPS packages provide you with:
- 5 GB to 40 GB storage space
- 512 GB to 4 TB monthly traffic
- 512 MB to 4 GB RAM
- 1 to 4 CPU cores
- 1 IPv4 address, with IPv6 addresses on request
For all these packages apart from the minimal one, the storage space and monthly traffic are upgradable. Dedicated server packages also come with some configurable options that you can customize during the purchase process.
Virtual servers use KVM virtualization for performance, stability, and reliability. You can control them via the powerful web-based Virtualizor control panel that allows you to start, stop, restart, and manage your VPS.
Servers are available at 43 locations across the globe, so you could choose the closest location to your customers.
Pricing and Support
EstNOC’s U.S.A. VPS packages are cheap, and you can pay for them in euros (only) via various methods: credit cards, Alipay, MOLPay, OneCard, Perfect Money, POLi, SOFORT Banking, TrustPay, UnionPay, WebMoney, Yandex.Money, PayPal, and Bitcoin.
Billing cycles are monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual, with discounted prices on all billing cycles other than monthly. Note that the advertised low rates are for annual billing.
With reseller hosting packages, you receive a 14-day money-back guarantee, allowing you to review the services.
Although you can contact the company via various methods (telephone, ticket system, email, or live chat), I’m sorry to say that my exploratory email went unanswered. If you have to resort to self-support, you will find just 11 posts about networking in the knowledge base.
How much does EstNOC cost?
EstNOC offers multiple plans priced highest to lowest. The price depends on which type of hosting plan you choose. You can see the updated pricing table (updated weekly) below.
Which EstNOC plan should I get?
My recommendation is to start with a cheaper plan. You can always upgrade later on. EstNOC can help you with the migration to a more expensive plan. The increase in visitors many times takes longer than expected and you shouldn’t pay a lot of money until the need arises. Of course, your needs may vary, and you can consult with a hosting expert from EstNOC here.
How good is EstNOC’s customer support?
EstNOC is not ranked as one of our top web hosts. But that can also be a result of EstNOC being a small, under the radar, hosting provider. There are advantages to a small hosting company – as a customer, you are more important to them. You can also check out our comparison of the most popular web hosting services here.
