Since its inception in 2006, Studio4web has provided a diverse range of solutions to meet the varied needs of its clients. According to its Croatian-language website, this hosting company operates more than 10,000 websites for individuals and businesses.
Features and Ease of Use
Studio4web offers eight shared hosting packages (seven preconfigured and one configurable), five VPS packages, four dedicated servers, four reseller hosting packages, and nine cloud box hosting packages.
The configurable shared hosting packages provide you with:
- 200 MB to 2 GB storage space
- 50 GB to 1 TB traffic
- 5 to unlimited email addresses
- 2 to unlimited FTP accounts
- 2 to unlimited MySQL databases with phpMyAdmin
- Multiple PHP versions, and Zend Optimizer
- SSL certificate
- POP3, SMTP, IMAP
- Cron jobs
- AWStats
- Antivirus, anti-spam
- Backups
The Softaculous one-click installer lets you install a wide number of applications, including WordPress (for blogging), OpenCart (for e-commerce), and phpBB (for bulletin boards and web forums). Therefore, you don’t need to be too tech-savvy to set up a website. At the other end of the expertise spectrum, the ionCube loader protects your PHP code from being copied or modified.
Other security features include the SpamExperts email filtering solution that stops unwanted email from reaching inboxes.
Some packages use ECC RAM that provides excellent protection against data corruption by detecting and rectifying memory errors automatically. Although this company’s home page alludes to a 99.9% uptime guarantee, its VPS and dedicated server product pages suggest a lower 99% uptime.
Pricing and Support
Studio4web’s shared hosting packages are unbelievably cheap, and you can pay for them in euros or Croatian kuna via various methods. At the time of writing this review, you could get a 20% discount on shared hosting and a 30% discount on reseller hosting.
Billing cycles range from monthly to annual, with discounts for the longer billing cycles. Since not all billing cycles are available for all packages, you’ll need to check the situation for the plan you pick.
Our shared and reseller hosting services offer you a highly generous 90-day money-back guarantee, which is three times longer than the usual refund window. Additionally, we provide a 7-day and/or 14-day refund window for different types of domains, which is quite uncommon in the industry.
Although you can supposedly contact Studio4web’s customer support team via support ticket and live chat, I’m sorry to say that my test support ticket went unanswered. If you have to resort to self-support, you’ll find a surprisingly well-stocked knowledge base:
