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

- Free domain registration (with the three higher plans)
- cPanel control panel
- 250 MB to 3 GB web hosting space

- 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 offers affordable shared hosting plans that you can conveniently purchase using Indian rupees through bank transfer or credit card. These plans are available on an annual to triennial basis, with the added benefit of discounts for longer commitments. Most plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, allowing you to receive a full refund if you encounter any issues and wish to cancel within the first 30 days.
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.
