📄 Editorial Review

iWHOST is a Malaysia-based provider aimed at individuals and SMBs that want a broad catalog under one roof rather than piecing services together. The lineup spans classic shared hosting (Linux and Windows), reseller hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, colocation, WordPress hosting, domain registration, SSL, a website builder, professional email, and web design. They emphasize fast activation, round-the-clock ticket support, and a familiar control-panel experience (cPanel/Plesk/DirectAdmin plus Virtuozzo for VPS). A 99.9% uptime target is promoted across most pages, and pricing is positioned as affordable for the market—though not always the cheapest.

Shared Hosting (Linux & Windows)

Linux plans target PHP/MySQL stacks and include Softaculous with hundreds of one-click apps (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop, Moodle, Nextcloud, etc.), free AutoSSL (Sectigo), SSH/FTP, cron, multiple PHP versions, and developer niceties like .htaccess, ImageMagick, GD, cURL, and Python/Perl support. Windows plans focus on ASP.NET/ASP, MSSQL, plus PHP/Perl/JSP, with similar 99.9% uptime positioning and 24×7 support. Both platforms advertise extensive mail features (POP/IMAP, webmail, catch-all, filters, SpamAssassin, antivirus) and "unlimited" conveniences such as aliases/forwarders. A representative Linux "Standard Plan" is RM199/year with cPanel, backups, and Litespeed-style speed tooling on WordPress-branded tiers.

WordPress & SSD Hosting

The WordPress range layers LiteSpeed Enterprise, ultra-fast SSD, ImunifyAV+ malware scanning, DDoS protection, and a 99.9% uptime target. A sample "WP STD" is RM32.42/month (promo 75% off). An SSD Hosting line is marketed for very fast I/O (NGINX + SSD, ImunifyAV+, 99.9% uptime), with published examples like "SSD STANDARD Hosting" at RM250/month for customers who want higher performance within a shared footprint.

Reseller Hosting

Reseller packages allow overselling, private/custom nameservers, WHM/cPanel for downstream account management, Softaculous, antispam, and a resource monitor—intended for agencies or operators who want to brand the service and create their own packages.

VPS (Dedicated Containers)

VPS plans are positioned as flexible and scalable: customers can adjust CPU/RAM/disk, and tune the stack (MySQL caching, PHP modules, Perl, firewalls, shell, etc.). Linux and Windows are both available; Linux VPS entries start from MYR 35/month. Access includes SSH or Remote Desktop, with optional cPanel/Plesk licenses. iWHOST highlights guaranteed resources, upgrade/downgrade paths, snapshots/backups (where applicable), and Virtuozzo Power Panel for lifecycle operations.

Dedicated Servers

Dedicated offerings cover Intel generations (Core/Core Duo/Quad historically, and Xeon E5 v4 currently), with examples such as Xeon E5 v4, 64 GB RAM, 2×480 GB SSD or 2×2 TB HDD, 2×IP, unmetered bandwidth on 100 Mbps at MYR 1,229/month (Cyberjaya DC; free DDoS mitigation; free setup). Delivery is typically 24–72 hours after payment (weekdays). Customers choose unmanaged vs managed service; the former gives complete control, while the latter offloads patching and ops to iWHOST. They explicitly remind that RAID ≠ backup and recommend adding a third disk or external backup.

Colocation

For customers bringing their own hardware, 1U colocation in Cyberjaya is MYR 340/month (+ MYR 200 setup), including 1×13A power socket, 100 Mbps port, 1×IPv4, unmetered bandwidth over shared capacity, reverse DNS, unlimited reboots/visits. Facility features advertised include 24×7 monitoring, dual power distribution backed by UPS + generators (N+1), redundant network uplinks, guarded access with CCTV, and door-access control. Offshore/anonymous hosting language is offered for customers with legal-content projects that require additional privacy.

Domains, SSL, Email & Builder

Domain registration/transfer is integrated; SSL includes Let’s Encrypt (free) and paid options. Professional email hosting is pitched with spam/virus filtering, shared calendars/contacts/tasks, and a user-friendly interface. A website builder is available for rapid launches, and the web design service handles turn-key builds for those who prefer not to DIY.
