According to its Facebook page, Bangladeshi hosting provider HMEA WORLD was founded in 2014. This still relatively recent entrant to the hosting market has servers located in the U.K. and U.S.A., and it offers shared hosting, reseller hosting, SSL certificates, and domain registration services.
This host doesn’t have a separate marketing or corporate website, so it relies solely on its WHMCompleteSolution-powered store and support site. Prices can be viewed in U.S. dollars or Bangladeshi takas.
Features and Ease of Use
Six shared hosting plans are available at each of the two server locations: the U.S.A. and the U.K.
The shared hosting plans provide these features:
- SSD storage
- Free SSL certificate
- cPanel control panel
- Softaculous one-click installer
- PHP and MySQL support
- phpMyAdmin tool
- 99.99% uptime guarantee
- SSH access
- Cron jobs
- FTP access
The 1 GB to 10 GB SSD storage should be sufficient for personal and small business websites, and you also get several unlimited resources: FTP accounts, email accounts, subdomains, databases, and parked domains.
The industry-standard cPanel control panel lets you manage all aspects of your hosting, including website backups. It includes the Softaculous installer for access to hundreds of popular programs such as WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. And if you already have cPanel hosting somewhere else, HMEA WORLD will transfer your website for free.
Pricing and Support
For the admittedly above-average features, the web hosting prices range from acceptable to expensive.
You get a free domain when you sign up annually on some plans, and a somewhat short seven-day money-back guarantee that gives you only a week to decide if this is the right host for you. Pay via PayPal or using a major credit/debit card.
Customer support options are limited to a small knowledge base, a ticket submission form, and remote assistance via TeamViewer or AnyDesk. I found the ticket support team to be surprisingly responsive, although I had to be a little bit persistent to get all my questions answered:
