Gen X Web Hosting started its journey in 2011, since when it has provided top-notch hosting solutions to customers of all sizes. To date, this Indian host has hosted over 60,000 websites for more than 3,000 customers.
Gen X Web Hosting’s solutions include shared hosting, virtual servers, dedicated servers, reseller hosting, WordPress hosting, domain solutions, SSL certificates, and more. Its website supports English.
Features and Ease of Use
Gen X Web Hosting offers nine shared hosting packages, eight VPS packages, 12 dedicated server solutions, and eight reseller hosting plans, each including Windows and Linux variants. Also, seven WordPress hosting packages.
Apart from the starter plan, all the Linux shared hosting packages provide you with:
- SLA-backed 99.9% uptime guarantee
- 500 MB to unlimited space
- 1 GB to unlimited bandwidth
- 1 to unlimited websites
- DirectAdmin control panel
- 2 to unlimited email accounts
- DDoS protection
If coding a website from scratch is not your preference, our website builder allows you to effortlessly create a professional-looking web presence, without requiring any special technical expertise. Another option is to set up a CMS-backed website almost as easily. You can achieve this by using the Softaculous one-click installer to install one of the popular content management or e-commerce applications, such as WordPress or Magento.
Once your website is up-and-running, you can secure it with the SiteLock security solutions that provide advanced scanning and immediate notifications.
Pricing and Support
Gen X Web Hosting’s Linux shared hosting solutions are dirt cheap, and a 50% discount was available on all plans apart from the starter plan at the time of this review. Other discounts are also available on various hosting types and plans, providing you commit to annual billing. Other billing cycles include monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, biennial, and triennial.
You can benefit from a 15-day money-back guarantee or a 30-day money-back guarantee on semi-annual and annual plans, respectively, but — as usual — this excludes the starter plan. You can pay in Indian rupees or U.S. dollars by bank transfer, PayPal (excluding Indian customers), or online payments.
Gen X Web Hosting’s 24/7 customer support team can be contacted by telephone, ticket, email, contact form, or live chat. I’m pleased to report that I summoned support via the live chat channel almost immediately:
Self-support resources include a knowledge base and a blog.
