Pakistan-based MezHost servers almost 1,500 customers from a total of 15 locations. Its solutions include domain registration, SSL certificates, cPanel hosting, and reseller hosting.MezHost’s website is available in multiple languages, including English, but not in Pakistan’s primary language of Urdu.
Features and Ease of Use
MezHost’s wide range of hosting plans incorporate these features:
- Unlimited email accounts
- Apache web servers
- MySQL databases
- Drupal support (and more)
- Virus protection
- cPanel control panel
The next-to-top “Pro” hosting plan provides 10 domains, 10 GB disk space, and 100 GB monthly bandwidth. True to its name, the top “Unlimited” plan includes unlimited everything, but bear in mind that the word “unlimited” can never truly mean infinite.
Security measures include virus scanners, DDoS protection, and SSL certificates (which are sold separately, but some at zero cost). However, when it comes to safeguarding your data, MezHost’s regular backups are not guaranteed, so customers are responsible for taking their own backups.
Pricing and Support
MezHost’s hosting plans are pretty cheap, especially the slightly misleading “Free Hosting” (aka. “Trial Hosting”) plan that starts at half a dollar a month. You can pay in U.S. dollars on monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual terms, with substantial discounts for longer terms.
The 30-day money-back guarantee on shared and reseller accounts give you a month to change your mind, and the industry-average 99.9% uptime guarantee means your website should be online almost all the time.

It wouldn’t be so bad if there were sufficient self-support resources, but this vendor’s knowledge base is bare:
