Website Planet
Although HostGalaxy’s website doesn’t say when it was established, its Facebook page was created in early 2014, and its Twitter feed was started even earlier in 2011.
This company’s English-language website claims to offer shared hosting, cloud hosting, WordPress hosting, VPS cloud hosting, reseller hosting, and dedicated servers. However, it looks like the shared, cloud, and WordPress hosting plans are pretty much the same, if not identical.
Features and Ease of Use
HostGalaxy offers five cloud hosting packages and five fully-managed VPS cloud packages (not all of which are shown on the website product pages). The features of the cloud hosting packages include:
- Free .com domain (with the two starter plans)
- 5 GB to 100 GB SSD space
- 5 TB transfer
- One to unlimited websites
- Unlimited email accounts
- 1 GB to 4 GB RAM
- cPanel control panel
- Cloudflare CDN with Railgun
- Daily backups
The Softaculous one-click installer helps you install several popular applications, including OpenCart (e-commerce), WordPress (blogging), phpBB (bulletin boards), and more.
The SSL certificate ensures the security of your website communications, while the LiteSpeed webserver guarantees peak performance. All of this is hosted on servers in a Tier III data center, which offers either a 100% or 99.9% uptime guarantee (depending on the specific part of the website you refer to).
Pricing and Support
HostGalaxy’s cloud hosting packages are competitively priced, and you can pay in U.S. dollars via PayPal.
Billing cycles range from monthly to triennial, but the available cycles depend on the plan you pick.
