LoopByte boasts of using premium hosting servers, including cloud servers, virtual servers, and dedicated servers with the latest technology hosted in safe locations in Mumbai, India. Also, the vendor hosts high-performance bare-metal dedicated servers suitable to meet the needs of performance-oriented websites and applications.
LoopByte hosting services are quite special. All of its hosting solutions are created on Grid platforms, which outperform the traditional shared and cloud hosting platforms. The Grid platform coupled with LiteSpeed web servers are built with enterprise-grade website security, dedicated resources, fast SSD storage, and data replication, and you can never go wrong with such platforms; customers can rest assured of super-fast, secure, and highly available website services.
Its hosting infrastructure also incorporates the use of hacking protection mechanisms with real-time malware scanning and the industry-leading LoopSecure web application firewall. This proactively protects its customers’ websites and applications against threats such as multiple hacking attempts, code injection, Trojan, backdoor, spam, shell, and cookie hijacking, among others, thus guaranteeing the safety of its clients’ data.
LoopByte’s Grid platforms also come with a built-in backup system, which takes multiple backups of its customers’ data every day. In addition, customers can easily restore their website’s data at any given time from the available restore points depending on the type of server clients want to restore.
Pricing and Support
With such a list of premium hosting features in each hosting plan, LoopByte has some of the most reasonable prices around. However, while some plans come with monthly billing cycles, others are offered only on long-term contacts of one year and above. Prices are listed in Indian rupees.
With LoopByte’s Grid-based hosting plans, customers get a single trial of up to one month for free. All the same, the hosting packages do not include a refund. While the hosting company boasts of highly available hosting systems, it does not seem to commit to an uptime guarantee.
LoopByte’s customer support desk is available telephone, contact form, or ticketing system. Its technical support team is quite reliable and is available round the clock, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Unfortunately, the hosting vendor does not seem to have email or live chat support.
Even though LoopByte lacks a knowledge base, you can find a blog section on their website featuring helpful “how-to” articles.
