Reviews and expert opinion Global i Web Solution

Mumbai-based Indian host, Global i Web Solution, was established in 2009. Its English-language website sells web hosting, domain solutions, SSL certificates, SEO services, digital marketing, and website design/development. To date, Global i Web has served 3,500 customers with 3,200+ websites and 4,500 domains.

Features and Ease of Use

Global i Web Solution offers nine shared hosting plans (in Linux, Windows, and WordPress variants), six reseller hosting plans (three each for Linux and Windows), three email hosting plans, and five VPS plans (though none could be bought at the time of this review).

The four Linux shared hosting plans (as shown on the plan page) provide you with:

• 99.99% uptime guarantee
• Free domain registration (with the three higher plans)
• cPanel control panel
• 250 MB to 3 GB web hosting space
• Unlimited bandwidth
• Unlimited subdomains and FTP accounts
• 10 to unlimited business email accounts
• Free SSL certificate

A one-click installer helps you install 100+ popular content management and other programs — such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and Magento — with a single click and without technical knowledge. As an alternative to a CMS-backed website, you could use the site building tools to create a professional-looking web presence without having to be a professional web designer.

Hosted websites sit on SSD storage that is far faster and more reliable than traditional HDD storage.

This host also offers SEO and digital marketing services to help improve your search engine rankings and to help with your Google pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns.

Pricing and Support

Global i Web’s shared hosting plans are cheap. You can pay for them in Indian rupees by bank transfer or credit card on annual to triennial terms. You get discounts for multi-year commitments, and a 30-day money-back guarantee (on most plans) that should get you out early with a full refund if anything goes wrong.

You can contact this company’s 24/7 support team via telephone, ticket, email, online contact form, live chat, or WhatsApp. Although live chat was offline when I wanted to try it, I received a reply to my pre-sales questions within four hours:

It’s a good thing that the one-to-one support is so good, because the knowledge base contains only nine entries.
