GB Network Solutions is a Malaysian hosting and cloud provider active since 2007, with a strong local footprint in Cyberjaya and a catalogue that now spans shared hosting, WordPress hosting, Windows hosting, reseller plans, VPS, cloud instances, dedicated servers, colocation, domains, email and managed services. Their shared platforms are unusually well-equipped at entry level—SSD or NVMe storage, free SSL, Acronis backups, LiteSpeed and WordPress acceleration, object caching and a web application firewall—so even basic plans target performance-conscious sites.

"Startup Web Hosting" suits individuals and small businesses, while "Business Web Hosting" lifts limits (websites, storage, bandwidth) and keeps the same quality-of-life features, positioning itself for SMEs that want faster, more capacious shared hosting. A separate WordPress Hosting line runs on optimized infrastructure with QUIC/LiteSpeed, preinstalled WordPress, visit-based sizing and built-in management conveniences such as staging and backups—useful for teams that prefer not to tune servers by hand.

Beyond shared, the portfolio broadens into Linux and Windows KVM/OpenVZ VPS, plus niche options (RunCloud, n8n, Forex, Minecraft/FiveM). At the high end, dedicated servers are available in Malaysia, Singapore, the US and the UK on enterprise Supermicro/Dell hardware with DDoS mitigation, 1 Gbps ports, configurable storage (including enterprise SSD and RAID) and 24/7 monitoring. Colocation in a Tier III Cyberjaya facility rounds out the infrastructure offer. Overall, they present as a mature, locally anchored provider with realistic upgrade paths from shared through to dedicated and cloud.

Terms note advance payment (monthly/quarterly/yearly). The 30-day money-back guarantee applies to shared/WordPress hosting fees (domains excluded). Other services are generally non-refundable mid-term; dedicated/colocation auto-renew unless canceled with 30 days’ notice pre-renewal. Accepted payments include MOLPay, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard and bank transfer; service tax applies.

🏢 Data Center

Core infrastructure sits in a Tier III Cyberjaya (CJ1) data center with 24/7 security. They underline carrier-grade networking and peering (MYNIC, APNIC, MYIX, DE-CIX) and enterprise hardware partners (Supermicro, Dell; Cisco in networking). Dedicated servers are also available in Singapore, the United States and the United Kingdom.

A formal 99.9% uptime guarantee backs shared/business hosting. The service availability policy grants credits proportional to annual downtime (e.g., 1% credit per 1% below the guarantee), excluding customary force-majeure and client-side issues. Dedicated specs typically include 1 Gbps ports (MY) or 30 TB premium bandwidth (SG/US), with DDoS mitigation and proactive monitoring.

✍️ Customer Support

Support is multi-channel and layered: 24/7 technical support via tickets; office hours Mon–Fri, 9:00–18:00 GMT+8 for phone sales/assistance; a published main phone line, WhatsApp contacts and separate support/sales/billing emails. A client area, helpdesk portal, knowledge base, announcements, status page and a network test site are provided. Remote support is available under their terms, allowing technicians to assist directly when authorized. The approach suits SMEs that occasionally need migrations, DNS help, WordPress tuning or server-side fixes.

🔨 Control Panel

They rely on mainstream panels and also sell licenses: cPanel (Linux shared/reseller), Plesk (commonly for Windows/WordPress), plus RunCloud, WHMCS and DirectAdmin for self-hosted servers or resellers. Shared/business plans integrate one-click WordPress, LiteSpeed Cache, object caching and WAF at panel level. WordPress Hosting layers in staging, cloning, bulk updates and hardening from a central toolkit. VPS/dedicated customers can choose unmanaged or add panel licenses with management services (initial hardening, monitoring, OS/panel configuration).

🎯 Conclusion

GB Network Solutions blends local Malaysian hosting and global reach with a broad product range. Strengths include feature-rich shared and WordPress plans (free SSL, Acronis backups, LiteSpeed/QUIC, migration), clear growth paths into VPS/cloud/dedicated, Tier III colocation in Cyberjaya, and 24/7 assistance from an experienced operations team. Pricing for Business tiers and high-end dedicated gear sits above bargain hosts, and the breadth of options can feel complex to newer buyers. Also note the distinction between the 30-day money-back on specific hosting plans and stricter refund terms elsewhere. For SMEs and organizations in or near Malaysia seeking stable, well-supported hosting with credible upgrade paths and regional latency advantages, they are a solid, well-rounded choice.
