Malaysian web hosting company GB Network Solutions provides shared web hosting solutions, virtual private servers, dedicated servers, colocation, SSL certificates, and domain name registration services.
This host went live in 2007 and has since expanded its hosting infrastructure to other countries across Asia, the United States, and Europe. Users rate it 9.8/10 on average, and it sells its services from an English language website.
Features and Ease of Use
GB Network Solutions’ Linux hosting services incorporate these features:
- Unlimited subdomains
- Email accounts
- MySQL and PostgreSQL databases
- Free lifetime domain
- cPanel control panel
- Softaculous one-click installer
- Free R1Soft daily backups
The LiteSpeed web server with LSCache helps provide peak performance, and the CloudLinux operating system with CageFS isolates you from the adverse effects of other hosted users. Reliable SSD storage in RAID 10 configuration makes it less likely that you’ll suffer a disk data disaster, and servers sit in one of Malaysia’s leading data centers.
A 99.99% uptime guarantee is advertised for shared hosting services.
This host’s website states that they house configurable VPS and dedicated servers in several data center locations worldwide, including Asia, Europe, and the United States. Customers favor the European data centers over the Asian ones.
GB Network Solutions offers domain services and SSL certificates in partnership with other providers.
Pricing and Support
GB Network Solutions’ Malaysian ringgit prices are pretty low, considering the freebies you get with the hosting plans. Billing cycles range from monthly to triennial (depending on the plan you pick), but I noticed that the biennial and triennial terms are no cheaper (pro-rata) than the annual payments. A 30-day money-back guarantee gives you a month to get out with a full refund if you’re not satisfied with the services.
You should be able to summon 24/7 support via telephone, a ticket system, email, or live chat. I say “should” because my pre-sales inquiry email went unanswered. If you have to resort to self-support, you’ll be pleased to find a reasonably comprehensive knowledge base:
