With a few clicks, a user can deploy and customize any of the supported apps. Advanced users and programmers also have access to various programming languages such as Python, Perl, GCC, and PHP plus its various libraries.
When it comes to user security, Woobi.kr isn’t sleeping on the job. Servers are hardened and systems monitored 24/7. Customers also enjoy daily/weekly website and database backups regardless of their plans, so there’s little to worry about data loss.
Each hosting account is powered by Linux and connected to SSD storage which is significantly faster than the traditional HDD, so you can expect pages to load quickly. Virtual server hosting runs on Red Hat Linux though there is the option to install a custom OS. Fast and reliable, its hosting packages can meet the needs of starters, medium-size enterprises, and even large organizations.
At first I had a hard time navigating Woobi.kr, but I realized my Adobe Flash player wasn’t working. The moment I fixed it, I was able to check out different sections including FAQs, pricing, hosting guides, and nice demos of websites built using the MC builder.
Pricing and Support
Woobi.kr packages are not only cheap, but are loaded with features that cut across the board. When you scale up, you get more storage, emails, and a greater monthly bandwidth to meet your growing traffic needs. Shared hosting packages are deployed instantly the moment you pay while VPS deployment takes up to 24 hours. Hosting prices include a one-time setup fee, which honestly I wouldn’t mind paying considering how cheap and feature-rich its packages are. Bank transfer and credit cards are accepted.
The Woobi.kr onsite technicians, known for their hard work and diligence, are capable of promptly resolving hosting issues. You can reach out to them by telephone to speak with live operators or send an email with your inquiries or requests for help. It would be great if Woobi.kr introduces live chat support for both local and international customers, as currently, support is only available in Korean.
