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 secures your website communications, and the LiteSpeed webserver ensures peak performance. This all sits on servers in a Tier III data center with either a 100% or 99.9% uptime guarantee (depending which 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.
