Features and Ease of Use

Web Host Machine offers a range of premium hosting services that include shared and reseller hosting. With the shared hosting packages you will generally get:

• Unlimited website hosting
• Unlimited email accounts
• Softaculous one-click installer
• Unlimited Joomla and WordPress-ready hosting
• Free SEO and CDN tools
• 99.99% server uptime
• Premium SSD

The four shared hosting plans start with 300 MB storage and 3 GB bandwidth on the entry-level plan, while the highest plan offers you unlimited storage and bandwidth. This vendor’s super-fast servers use SSDs for web page loading speeds many times faster than traditional hard drives.

Web Host Machine also offers premium cloud-based shared hosting that gives you instant scaling, safeguarded data, blazing-fast loading times, automatic failover, and unmetered disk space and bandwidth.

You can manage your hosting using the user-friendly cPanel control panel, and you also get a choice of two website building tools: the popular Weebly, and the innovative Impress.ly. These two beginner-friendly tools allow you to build beautiful, app-like, and mobile-friendly websites in minimal time with no technical knowledge.

Pricing and Support

Web Host Machine provides competitively priced plans that don’t compromise on quality. The packages come with lots of freebies but more importantly provide unlimited website hosting and unlimited emails. Unfortunately, there is no free domain and no free SSL certificate, but you can easily purchase Comodo SSL certificates separately.

The SSD shared hosting plans are offered on three, six, twelve, twenty-four, and thirty-six-month billing cycles whereas the cloud-based plans are offered only on monthly terms. You can pay in Indian rupees or U.S. dollars, and it’s good to see that you get a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can get out early if you didn’t make the right decision.

For self-support, the knowledge base is almost empty, and the blog hasn’t been updated since 2012. However, you can access 24/7/365 customer support via telephone, ticket, email, WhatsApp, Skype, BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), Facebook, TeamViewer, or live chat.

When I tested the live chat channel, I noticed that the agents took a little time to join the chat, although admittedly this was a Sunday. Once an agent came online, I was happy with the support I received:
