Pricing and support
Pricing for Tu Hostin shared hosting plans is very affordable. The basic entry-level plan costs around 50% less than many international hosting providers, while the higher-tier plans come in closer to average for the data allowances. Compared to other Peruvian hosts, Tu Hostin’s prices fall in the middle of the range as prices in Peru vary from very cheap to significantly more expensive.
If you’re looking for a web design and creation package, you’ll find that the prices for this service start at a very affordable level and already include hosting and domain in the price. In comparison to many website design packages in the U.S., this package costs around 33% of the average price. As for more comprehensive design packages that include e-commerce, the price goes up to about triple the cost of the entry-level package, but it’s still a bargain compared to U.S. prices.
Customer support for Tu Hostin is available via telephone, email, and live chat. Support is listed as being available 24 hours a day, however I sent an email query to support but did not hear back from them.
