HostLabs started its journey in 1998 and is now a part of the HostPapa family. From email hosting and scalable cloud VPS to private and dedicated cloud servers – you’ll get them all at HostLabs. It also offers business services to handle IT-related challenges, such as business intelligence, professional web design, domain services, and SSL certificates. HostLabs has supported the launch of 350,000 websites and business applications since its inception. This website of this host supports English.
Features and Ease of Use
HostLabs offers email hosting, scalable cloud VPS, private cloud servers, dedicated cloud servers, dedicated servers, and custom hosting solutions. With the starting plan of its scalable cloud VPS, you’ll get:
- 4 Core CPU
- 60 GB SSD storage
- 2 GB memory
- 1 TB transfer
- 99.9% Uptime Guarantee
- Free SSL Certificate
The HostLabsPanel is made available for free with Linux OS. However, you can also opt for a paid cPanel or Plesk Onyx versions. The Plesk Onyx control panel is available for the Windows OS.
Depending on your needs, you can scale up bandwidth and disk space. This gives you the flexibility to choose and only pay for the resources you need.
With its Baruwa spam filtering service, HostLabs ensures your email stays protected against unwanted spam. To protect your WordPress CMS, SecureLive (as a paid add-on) is on offer. You’ll just have to install a simple plugin and activate it to block hackers and any malicious activity to ensure your website and customers are safe.
Additional paid add-ons include R1Soft managed backup (for continuous and speedy backups) and a standard SSL certificate.
From data security and server hardening to meeting HIPAA and PCI compliance needs, HostLabs employs some of the most effective security systems to protect your data. With its dedicated servers, the company provides business-grade SSD storage (to deliver high performance), Cloudflare CDN (for faster content delivery), and root access (to give you better control of your hosting environment).
Pricing and Support
HostLabs’ scalable cloud VPS may appear pricey at first glance. However, when you consider that you’ll get the extra control of a dedicated server while avoiding hardware and maintenance costs, it seems reasonable.
If you want to pay for the HostLabs plans in USD, you can use PayPal, check, or credit card. The available billing periods are monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, biennial, triennial, quinquennial (5 years), and decennial (10 years). Sadly, no price discounts are on offer for longer terms.
HostLabs offers a thirty-day money-back guarantee for a new account and a seven-day money-back guarantee on the renewal of an existing account.
You can reach HostLabs’ 24/7 US-based customer support via phone, live chat, email, and support tickets if you are logged in as a customer. I used their live chat to get an answer to my query and got a quick reply.
HostLabs provides several self-help tools and resources, such as a blog, “getting started” guides and tutorials, a knowledge base, FAQs, and podcasts. There’s also a community forum, though it doesn’t offer much help as there is just a single post.
