*📜 Plan description

Cloud Base is the popular choice for small and medium-sized businesses that need room to add sites and content without storage caps. It includes unlimited websites, unlimited NVMe storage, 2 GB RAM, and 2 vCPUs—plus unmetered bandwidth under fair use. Core inclusions mirror the stack from Cloud Mini but lift key technical ceilings: unlimited subdomains, 250,000 inode allowance, unlimited databases/FTP/cronjobs, DNS management, SSH and GIT access, and automatic daily/weekly/monthly offsite backups with point-and-click restores. You also receive free SSL, free migration, and a free domain for one year on annual+ billing terms. Security is reinforced by a DDoS-protected network and Imunify360 malware/firewall suite, while operations are supported around the clock by the support team.

As a common layer across HostChain’s cloud web hosting, you administer everything in cPanel, benefit from 24/7/365 support with a 99.9% uptime commitment, and can fall back on a 30-day money-back guarantee if expectations aren’t met. The platform emphasizes fast NVMe storage on low-density hardware, generous email allowances, and frictionless scaling—so you can start small, add projects, or move existing sites with minimal downtime and predictable costs.

📄 Editorial Review

HostChain — Fully Managed Hosting That Scales Without Surprise Fees
HostChain is a hands-on, customer-first host aimed at small and midsize businesses that want managed help included rather than sold as an add-on. Instead of headline prices that balloon at checkout, they bundle the essentials—setup, migration, and day-to-day technical assistance—into the base plans. The result is a platform designed to be easy at the start and elastic as needs grow.

What Stands Out


Managed support is baked in. Many providers charge for "premium" assistance; HostChain includes 24/7 help by phone and email, plus routine management tasks, with no extra line items.
Stable, fast foundations. Their cloud architecture uses enterprise components, low-density servers, and built-in caching to keep pages loading quickly. Automatic failover and mirrored storage aim to ride through hardware hiccups without taking sites down.
Straightforward pricing. They emphasize fixed, transparent rates rather than teaser discounts. A 30-day money-back guarantee adds a low-risk trial window, and a 99.9% uptime guarantee covers extended outages attributable to their hosting stack.

Cloud Web Hosting (Shared)


For personal sites through growing SMEs, their shared cloud plans pair an easy control panel with modern storage and performance tooling. cPanel is standard, alongside a drag-and-drop site builder and a catalog of 300+ one-click apps (WordPress, Joomla, e-commerce starters, and more). Pure NVMe storage and server-side caching help with snappy delivery, while their low-density approach avoids oversubscribed nodes. Free migration is included, which removes a common switching pain point.
Who it fits: new projects, brochure sites, blogs, and early-stage stores that want room to grow without replatforming.

Managed WordPress Hosting


Their WordPress line layers platform optimizations (LiteSpeed Cache, optional Memcached/Redis on higher tiers, Multi-PHP support) on top of the same cloud base. WordPress Toolkit centralizes installs, staging, updates, and hardening, so patching and rollbacks are easier to manage. A bundled visual builder (Brizy) targets non-developers who want to assemble pages quickly without sacrificing responsiveness.
The draw: out-of-the-box speed gains, safer updates via staging, and management help included—useful for teams without a dedicated WP admin.

Cloud VPS


When shared capacity isn’t enough, their cloud VPS plans introduce dedicated resources and deeper control while staying fully managed if desired. cPanel/WHM is available, root access is supported, and snapshots/backups come standard. The storage layer is NVMe-backed and replicated; combined with a failover-ready hypervisor chain, the VPS footprint is built to stay available even when a compute node misbehaves. Optional add-ons (Imunify360, CloudLinux, JetBackup, Acronis, LiteSpeed, MailChannels, higher-tier Layer-7 DDoS) let customers tune security and resilience to the workload.
Best for: agencies consolidating clients, busy stores, custom applications, and resellers who want the provider to handle the heavy lifting.

Dedicated Servers


For applications that need isolation, steady throughput, or custom OS/kernel tuning, their managed dedicated range (Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC options) delivers bare-metal performance with the same "included support" philosophy. IPMI/KVM access, hardened baseline setups, firewall tuning, and 24/7 monitoring are part of the package, with cPanel/WHM available for multi-tenant hosting. The hardware lives in a Los Angeles facility with SSAE-16 Type 2 compliance, and plans can be upgraded with the same software extensions offered to VPS customers.
Use cases: high-traffic sites, compliance-sensitive workloads, or stacks that benefit from predictable I/O and CPU isolation.

Service Guarantees & Policies

  • Money-Back: 30-day, no-questions refund window on first-time purchases (once per 12-month period).
  • Availability: 99.9% uptime service level for web hosting, with credits for qualifying network or server outages (10+ consecutive minutes), excluding third-party network failures, customer-installed script issues, or extraordinary traffic attacks.
  • Support: 24/7 access to in-house staff for both routine and advanced assistance—positioned as part of the plan, not a premium add-on.

Pricing Philosophy


HostChain positions plans at fixed rates to avoid unpleasant renewal surprises. Managed care, migrations, and platform tooling (site builder, app installer, security scans) are included, and upgrades are available without forced provider changes. It’s a simple pitch: predictable bills and help when it’s needed.
