Although South African host Vander Host’s English-language website doesn’t say when it was founded, its social media pages suggest that it’s been operational since 2018. However, the Vander brothers (whom I presume to be the founders) have worked in the hosting space since 1998.
This host’s offerings include shared hosting, VPS, WordPress hosting, Laravel hosting, reseller hosting, domain solutions, and FTP backups.
Features and Ease of Use
Vander Host offers five Linux shared hosting packages, five WordPress hosting packages, four Laravel hosting packages, 20 VPS packages, and three reseller hosting packages. Note that the main website doesn’t describe all the VPS packages, so you have to refer to the separate store pages.
The Linux shared hosting packages provide you with:
- 99.9% uptime guarantee
- 1 GB to 20 GB storage space
- 1 GB to 20 GB traffic
- 1 to 1,000 mailboxes
SSD storage, which is significantly faster and more dependable than traditional HDD storage, supports hosted websites. Our FTP backup solutions play a crucial role in ensuring the security of your data. For your initial website setup, you have the option to install well-known content management and other programs like WordPress and Magento.
One relatively unique offering is the Laravel hosting.
Pricing and Support
Vander Host’s shared hosting packages are affordably priced, and you can pay for them in several currencies (USD, GBP, EUR, and ZAR) via PayPal, PayFast, and possibly other methods. Monthly and annual billing cycles are available, but you pay a significant setup fee for monthly billing. In contrast, annual billing is discounted and you get a free domain.
The shared, WordPress, and Laravel hosting packages come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you get a month to get your money back if you’re not satisfied with the services.
Vander Host’s 24/7 customer support team can be contacted by email, ticket system, contact form, or live chat. Unfortunately, my live chat and contact form approaches were unsuccessful. On the plus side, the self-support knowledge base is pretty well stocked:
