The main hosting solutions under its brand include domain registrations, SSL certificates, cPanel hosting, and reseller hosting. The MezHost website is available in multiple languages, among them English, but not the widely spoken language in Pakistan, Urdu.
Features and Ease of Use
MezHost wide range of hosting plans incorporate the following standard features:
Unlimited email accounts
Apache web servers
MySQL databases
Drupal support and more
Virus protection
cPanel control panel
Its five shared hosting packages- Free hosting, Starter hosting, Pro hosting, and Unlimited hosting– all come with distinct features that vary from one plan to the next. While the Pro hosting package (10 domains, 10GB disk space, 100GB monthly bandwidth) is the most popular plan, I was intrigued by its Unlimited hosting package that comes with features that do not have limitations.
Its remote desktop hosting (RDP) has its terminal server hosted in Germany locations. The vendor guarantees commitment to high-quality services and it has installed these services with virus scanners and DDoS protection to prevent user’s resources against attacks. You can also hire its SSL certificate services to give your website extra protection.
However, this vendor has done very little to assure its customers of data protection against loss. And while it says that it performs regular back-ups, these backups are not guaranteed and customers should be responsible for their own website data and files.
Pricing and Support
MezHost web hosting services are pretty cheap and its “Free hosting” package is lowly priced for customers who would like to try its hosting services. Prices are listed in U.S. dollars and its hosting plans are offered with monthly payment terms.
The hosting provider offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee and each of its shared and reseller accounts carry an unconditional 30 days money-back guarantee.
For assistance, potential customers can contact the vendor’s support team via telephone, email, and ticketing system. Although the vendor has a live chat, it is often offline and one cannot rely on it.
I sent an email inquiring about their hosting solutions but did not get a reply.
MezHost has not invested in self-support resources; the knowledge base has no articles and it does not have FAQs or video tutorials.
Whether you are a professional web developer or a novice webmaster who has never run a website before, MezHost provides you with just what you need. All the same, its hosting services fall short to meet the requirements of resource-intensive websites since the vendor does not seem to offer dedicated servers or VPS server services.
