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.
For assistance, you should be able to call on this company’s support team via telephone, ticket system, or live chat. I found that the live chat was often offline, and my email inquiry received no response. It wouldn’t be so bad if there were sufficient self-support resources, but this vendor’s knowledge base is bare:
How much does MezHost cost?MezHost offers plans from $1 to $6. The price depends on which type of hosting plan you choose. You can see the updated pricing table (updated weekly) below.
Which MezHost plan should I get?My recommendation is to start with a cheaper plan. You can always upgrade later on. MezHost can help you with the migration to a more expensive plan. The increase in visitors many times takes longer than expected and you shouldn’t pay a lot of money until the need arises. Of course, your needs may vary, and you can consult with a hosting expert from MezHost here.
How good is MezHost’s customer support?MezHost is not ranked as one of our top web hosts. But that can also be a result of MezHost being a small, under the radar, hosting provider. There are advantages to a small hosting company – as a customer, you are more important to them. You can also check out our comparison of the most popular web hosting services here.
