Montreal-based Canadian company ROWEBCA entered the hosting market in 2008. Today, it offers shared web hosting, SSL certificates, web design services, and domain name registration services to worldwide clients.
Features and Ease of Use
ROWEBCA’s web hosting solutions include these features as standard:
- cPanel control panel
- Softaculous installer
- MySQL databases with phpMyAdmin
- FTP accounts
- POP3 email accounts
- PHP, Perl, and CGI support
- Cron jobs for scheduled tasks
- Website statistics
Whether you’re a novice webmaster or a professional web designer, you can create a professional web presence with the free SitePad website builder that comes with a lot of customizable templates. You can also use the Softaculous installer to install popular content management and other applications — such as WordPress and Zen Cart — with a single click.
After you get your website up-and-running, you can secure it with an SSL certificate, and you’ll also experience the advantages of DDoS protection. Moreover, in case the worst should ever happen, you’ll appreciate the free daily website backups.
Hosted websites sit on the LiteSpeed webserver with LSCache for peak performance. Underpinning this is the CloudLinux operating system (which protects you from the adverse effects of other hosted users) and SSD storage in RAID 10 configuration (to guard against disk data disasters). The 99.9% uptime guarantee is around the industry average.
Pricing and Support
ROWEBCA’s web hosting solutions are some of the cheapest in the market. At the time of this review, you could even get 40% off annual subscriptions for the Standard, Premium, and Ultimate hosting plans. And nonprofits could get free hosting with no ads.
The 30-day money-back guarantee means you have a month to get your money back if you’re not satisfied with the services.
Contact the 24/7 support staff via an online contact form, live chat, email, or a ticket system. It took about 24 hours for me to receive a response to my test support ticket.
